Ksju [112]3 years ago
4 0

well, Marcus and Ben are both 5 feet tall and a little bit more, Marcus is 19/24 more and Ben is 9/16 more, so the 5's in the fraction are the same, so which one is larger, 19/24 or 9/16?

we can simply put both fractions with the same denominator, by <u>multiplying one by the other's denominator</u>, so let's proceed,

\bf \stackrel{\textit{\large Marcus is taller}}{5~feet + \left( \cfrac{19}{24}\cdot \cfrac{16}{16}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{304}{384}} \right)}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{\large Ben}}{5~feet + \left( \cfrac{9}{16}\cdot \cfrac{24}{24}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{216}{384}} \right)}

Solve for x<br> Urgent need help
fiasKO [112]
I believe you need to solve this using the quadratic formula!
To begin, this is what it is:
x= -b ± <span>√ b^2 - 4ac / 2a
Just plug in what you have in your problem...
2 being a, 13 being b, and -24 being c.
So we get:
x= -13 </span>± <span>√13^2 - 4(2)(-24) / 2(2)
x= -13 </span><span>± √169 - 8 (-24) / 4</span>
<span>x= -13 <span>± √169 + 192 / 4</span>
x= -13 </span>± √<span>361 / 4
The square root of 361 is 19.
So you have: -13 </span><span>± 19 / 4.
Here's where you take the equation </span>-13 <span>± 19 and put the addition and subtraction sign to use.
-13 - 19 = -32
and
-13 + 19 = 6
Now all is left to do is divide the two numbers by 4.
-32/4 = -8
and
6/4 = 3/2

x = -8, 3/2</span>

The measures of the angles of a quadrilateral are in the
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a square for just a second. It has 4 angles each of 90 degrees. The total number of degrees in a square is 4 * 90 = 360.

It should be at least an appeal to your intuition to say that a quadrilateral has a total of 360 degrees.

Therefore the ratio you have been given must have 4 angles that add to 360.

2x + 3x + 6x + 7x = 360

18x =360

x = 20

So the 4 angles are

2* 20 = 40

3*20 =  60

6*20 = 120

7*20 = 140

Total    360

The largest angle is 140

Factor by grouping 5x^3+6x^2+25x+30
Digiron [165]

Answer:

(5x + 6) (x² + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x³ + 6x² + 25x + 30

= x² (5x + 6) + 25x + 30    -- Group 5x³ and 6x²

= x² (5x + 6) + 5 (5x + 6)    -- Group 25x and 30

= (5x + 6) (x² + 5)  -- Both terms have a common factor of 5x + 6
