Answer:

$- \frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we change both denominators to the LCM (lowest common multiple) which is 8.

$- \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{8} = - \frac{6}{8} + \frac{3}{8}$

Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators.

$\frac{ - 6 + 3}{8}$

$\frac{ - 3}{8}$

or it can be written as

$- \frac{3}{8}$

Question 4 pleaseeeeeee

arsen [322]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate means one quantity in terms of another unit quantity. In the answer choices, we see that the denominator is always in terms of UNIT LITERS (1 L), so that means, we have to find gallons in terms of UNIT LITERS.

It means, we have to divide gallons by liters to get in terms of unitary liters.

Let's check the first line:

19.5/75 = 0.26 Gallons / 1 Liter

Now, checking 2nd:

39/150 = 0.26 Gallons / 1 Liter

So, yes, they are the same and other 2 lines would be the same as well. The unit rate is:

0.26 gal/1L

That's answer choice B

Find three positive numbers whose sum is 140 and whose product is a maximum. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be $x, y\ and\ z.$

Such that:

$x + y + z = 140$

Make z the subject

$z = 140 -x - y$

For their product to be maximum, we have:

$f(x,y,z) = xyz$

Substitute $z = 140 -x - y$ in $f(x,y,z) = xyz$

$f(x,y) = xy(140 - x - y)$

Open bracket

$f(x,y) = 140xy - x^2y - xy^2$

Differentiate w.r.t x and y

$f_x=140y - 2xy - y^2$

$f_y=140x - x^2 - 2xy$

Since the products are maximum, then $f_x = f_y = 0$

For $f_x=140y - 2xy - y^2$

$140y - 2xy - y^2 = 0$

Factorize:

$y(140 - 2x - y) = 0$

Split

$y = 0\ or\ 140 - 2x - y = 0$

Make y the subject

$y = 0\ or\ y = 140 - 2x$

For $f_y=140x - x^2 - 2xy$

$140x - x^2 - 2xy = 0$

---------------------------------------------------

Substitute y = 0

$140x - x^2 -2x*0 = 0$

$140x - x^2 = 0$

Factorize

$x(140 - x)= 0$

$x = 0\ or\ 140-x = 0$

$x = 0\ or\ x = 140$

---------------------------------------------------

Substitute $y = 140 - 2x$

$140x - x^2 - 2xy = 0$

$140x - x^2 - 2x(140 - 2x) = 0$

$140x - x^2 - 280x + 4x^2 = 0$

Re-arrange

$4x^2 -x^2 +140x - 280x = 0$

$3x^2 -140x = 0$

Factor x out

$x(3x - 140) = 0$

Divide through by x

$3x - 140 = 0$

$3x = 140$

$x = \frac{140}{3}$

Recall that: $y = 140 - 2x$

$y = 140 - 2 * \frac{140}{3}$

$y = 140 - \frac{280}{3}$

Take LCM

$y = \frac{140*3-280}{3}$

$y = \frac{140}{3}$

Recall that:

$z = 140 -x - y$

$z = 140 - \frac{140}{3} - \frac{140}{3}$

Take LCM

$z = \frac{3 * 140- 140 - 140}{3}$

$z = \frac{140}{3}$

Hence, the numbers are:

$\frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}$
