A lot depends upon your interpretation of "opposite." Do you mean "reciprocal?"

If you give the number a, the reciprocal would be 1/a. Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean "the number with opposite sign?" If you give the number b, "the number with opposite sign" would be -b.

Consider both cases. Choose a rational number (such as 7/8). Find the reciprocal of this number. Find the number with opposite sign of this number.

What is the product?

makkiz [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

(4s + 2) × (5s² + 10s +3)

we know immediately the first and the last term of the result, because there is only one operation to build them :

20s³ and 6.

so, the first answer option is already eliminated.

let's multiply

4s×5s² + 4s×10s + 4×3s + 10s² + 20s + 6

20s³ + 40s² + 12s + 10s² + 20s + 6

20s³ + 50s² + 32s + 6

so, the last answer option is correct.

A large container holds 8 gallons of water. After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left. At what rate is the

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The rate at which water leaking is $\frac{1}{8}$ gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A large container holds 8 gallons of water.

After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left.

Now, to find at what rate is the water leaking.

So, water leaked from the container = 8 gallons - 1 gallon = 7 gallons.

Time taken for leakage = 56 minutes.

$\frac{Gallons\ of\ water\ leaked}{Time\ taken\ for\ leakage}$

$=\frac{7 gallons}{56 minutes}$

$=\frac{1 gallon}{8 minutes}$

The rate = $\frac{1}{8}$ gal/min.

Therefore, the rate at which water is leaking is $\frac{1}{8}$ gal/min.
