Which is larger 17/40 or 8/15

Mathematics

8/15

when you divide it it comes out to be 0.533 repeating

but when you divide 17/40 it comes out to be 0.425

so .5 is larger then .4

It's easier to figure it out when both fractions have the same denominator, so let's fix that:

17/40*15/15 is 255/600

8/15*40/40 is 320/600

Notice we are multiplying by a factor of 1 to get equivalent fractions

So 8/15 is bigger

Hope this helped!

Which is the property that justifies the action?
lidiya [134]
A) Action: multiply both sides by 4. 

Have a look: 

(x/4)x4=16x4 
x=64 

As you can see, the value of x can be found by multiplying 4 on both sides.

Hope I helped :)

Find the area of the rectangle with a length of (x^2-2) and a width of (2x^2-x+2)
Katyanochek1 [597]
Area=legnth times width

so multiply them together use distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
in this problem
(a+b)(c+d+e)=(a+b)(c)+(a+b)(d)+(a+b)(e)

so
x^2-2 times (2x^2-x+2)=(x^2)(2x^2-x+2)-(2)(2x^2-x+2)=(2x^4-x^3+2x^2)-(4x^2-2x+4)
add like terms
2x^4-x^3+(2x^2-4x^2)-2x+4
2x^4-x^3-2x^2-2x+4

Which statement is true of the function f(x) = Negative RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot? Select three options.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Options (2), (3) and (4) are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = -\sqrt[3]{x}

1). First derivative of the function = f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt[3]{x} )

  f'(x) = -\frac{1}{3}(x)^{-\frac{2}{3}}

  Since derivative is negative, function will be decreasing everywhere.

  Therefore, Option (1) is incorrect.

2). Since value of the function is true for every value of all real values of x.

  Domain of the function is (-∞, ∞).

  Therefore, Option (2) is correct.

3). For the given domain, range of the function will be all real values of y Or (-∞, ∞)

  Therefore, Option (3) is correct.

4). Function 'f' when reflected across x axis, equation of the reflected function will be g(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}.

 Therefore, Option (4) is correct.

5). For a point (3, -27),

  -27 = -\sqrt[3]{3}

  Therefore, Option (5) is incorrect.

What is the answer to this -2x-4>10
bearhunter [10]
-2x - 4 > 10

Multiply both sides by -1 and reverse the inequality symbol.

2x + 4 < -10

Now subtract both sides by 4.

2x + 4 - 4 < -10 - 4

2x < -14

Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 < -14/2

x < -7

WITCHER [35]
Yes there is rotational symmetry and you can rotate 5 times in a complete circle.
