Answer:

Is not correct. The product not always will be smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction could increase a number if you multiply it.  

If the numerator is higher to the  denominator,  it will increase it.  

If the numerator is smaller to the  denominator,  it will decrease it.

<u>For example,</u>

10 x 4/3

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

10×4/1×3=40/3= 13,33

13,33 is higher than 10.

5 x 10/3

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

5×10/1×3=50/3

16,66 is higher than 5.

Please help me!!!!!

Answer:

y = - \frac{2}{5} (x - 5)² + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k ) = (5, 7 ) , then

y = a(x - 5)² + 7

To find a substitute (10, - 3 ) into the equation

- 3 = a(10 - 5)² + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

- 10 = 5²a = 25a ( divide both sides by 25 )

\frac{-10}{25} = a , that is

a = - \frac{2}{5}

y = - \frac{2}{5} (x - 5)² + 7 ← in vertex form

Find the equation of a line with each of the following characteristics. a) parallel to the line y = 3x + 5 and has a y-intercept
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put all three equations from the question into a graph and then input the equation i just gave you it will be perpendicular to line B & C, also it will be parallel to line A. Finally you can check yourself that it also has a y-intercept of (0,-1) & an x-intercept of (2,0). Hopefully this helps out & gets brainliest. xD

Five bikers join a race. In how many possible ways can they be arranged as
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

60 different possibilities

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bikers = 5

Positions = first, second and third

First positions = all 5 riders can take the first spot = 5 possibilities

Second spot = position 1 has been filled hence number of possibilities = ( 5 - 1) = 4

Third spot = position 1 and 2 has been filled ; number of possibilities =. (5 - 2). = 3

Number of possible arrangements :

5 * 4 * 3 = 60 different possibilities
