To find the total of 3/4 and 4/5 is to add them together. However, in order to add them together you need to find the least common denominator (LCD). And the LCD of both denominators would be 20, because that is the smallest number both 4 and 5 can divide into. And here is the tricky part, now you have to change the numerators. So since 3/4th's now has a denominator of 20 you have to make the 3 match the 20. So 4 times what it 20? It is 5. So now multiply 5 by three and that will give you 15/20, which can reduce to 3/4 which means that you did this correctly! Now repeat the same steps with 4/5:
4/5=4/20
20÷5=4
4•4=16
16/20 (16/20 can reduce to 4/5 which means you did this correctly.
Now to add them keep the denominators the same and only add the numerators:
15/20 + 16/20 = 31/20
Now this as a mixed number would be 1 11/20. I hope this was helpful!
Answer:
The domain is:
x: (-∞, 0] U (0, ∞)
The range is
y: [0, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
These types of functions are known as piecewise functions. It has two pieces of functions, you must graph both pieces for each interval.
First, graph:
y = -x for x from -∞ to x = 0
Note that y = -x is the equation of a negative slope line = -1 that passes through the origin
Second, graph:
y = x for x from x = 0 to ∞
Note that y = x is the equation of a positive slope line = 1 that passes through the origin.
The graph of this function is shown in the attached image. Note that it matches the absolute value graph of x.
y = | x |
In this function y it is always positive, and x can be any real number.
Therefore the domain is:
x: (-∞, 0] U (0,∞)
The range is:
y: [0, ∞)
