Fraction division is basically multiplication of a reciprocal.

For example (1/4)/(1/8) = (1/4)x(8/1)=2

Multiplication of the answer and the piece that divides (in this case 2 x 1/8), you should get the piece that is being divided (in this case 1/4). If that is correct, then your division is correct.

Division and multiplication are inverse operations. This means they "undo" each other. You can check your answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor. You should get the dividend.

Only questions 10-12!! Help please!!
butalik [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10) The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. It means that

a + 15 = 3a + 11

3a - a = 15 - 11

2a = 4

a = 4/2 = 2

Also,

3b + 5 = b + 11

3b - b = 11 - 5

2b = 4

b = 4/2 = 2

11) The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent and the adjacent angles are supplementary. This means that

2x + 11 + x - 5 = 180

3x + 6 = 180

3x = 180 - 6 = 174

x = 174/3 = 58

Therefore,

2x + 11 = 2×58 + 11 = 127 degrees

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, therefore,

2y = 127

y = 127/2 = 63.5

12) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means that each diagonal is divided equally at the midpoint. Therefore

3y - 5 = y + 5

3y - y = 5 + 5

2y = 10

y = 10/2 = 5

Also,

z + 9 = 2z + 7

2z - z = 9 - 7

z = 2

Find the absolute maximum value for the function f(x) = x^2 − 4, on the interval [–3, 0) U (0, 2].
Andreyy89

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=x^2 -4 is

  • decreasing for all x\in [-3,0);
  • is increasing for all x\in (0,2]

(see attached diagram for details).

The maximum value of the function is at endpoints -3 or 2. find y(-3) and y(2):

y(-3)=(-3)^2-4=9-4=5\\ \\y(2)=4^2-4=0

So, the maximum value is 5.

In the ΔABC, the altitude AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC.
bekas [8.4K]
AB = 30 in and BC = 50 in.

We use Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  Since AN is an altitude, this means that it is perpendicular to BC.  This means BN and AN are the legs of one right triangle, with AB being the hypotenuse:

18²+24² = AB²
324 + 576 = AB²
900 = AB²

Take the square root of both sides:
√900 = √AB²
30 = AB

NC and AN form the legs of the other right triangle, with AC being the hypotenuse:

24²+NC² = 40²
576 + NC² = 1600

Subtract 576 from both sides:
576 + NC² - 576 = 1600 - 576
NC² = 1024

Take the square root of both sides:
√NC² = √1024
NC = 32

BC = BN + NC = 18 + 32 = 50
