Answer:

7/8 > 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 7/8

We can compare this as follows.

Lets say both are equal. $\frac{5}{6}= \frac{7}{8}$

Cross multiplying these we get 40=42

We get 40<42. In fraction we get $\frac{5}{6}$

In case if you want to convert this to decimal, we get;

5/6 = 0.833 and 7/8 = 0.875

We get 5/6<7/8

B) 4/5

Similarly we get 4/5 = 0.8 and 5/6 = 0.833

Here 4/5<5/6

C) 3/4

we get 3/4 = 0.75 and 5/6 = 0.833

3/4<5/6

D) 2/3

we get 2/3 = 0.66 and 5/6 = 0.833

2/3<5/6

Which best describes the relationship between the lines? 2x – y = −7 2x + 4y = 2

seropon [69]

Answer:

Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = -7

2x + 4y = 2

-y = -2x - 7

4y = -2x + 2

y = 2x + 7

y = -1/2x + 1/2

Cannot be:

Parallel because the slope would otherwise be the same.

Same line because the equation is not proportional

So, they are perpendicular because a perpendicular line would be a negative and a reciprocal of the current line

Any 10th grader solve it <br>for 50 points

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$\frac{a}{p}\times (q-r)+\frac{b}{q}\times (r-p)+\frac{c}{r}\times (p-q)\neq 0$ is proved for the sum of pth, qth and rth terms of an arithmetic progression are a, b,and c respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sum of pth, qth and rth terms of an arithmetic progression are a, b and c respectively.

First term of given arithmetic progression is A

and common difference is D

ie., $a_{1}=A$ and common difference=D

The nth term can be written as

$a_{n}=A+(n-1)D$

pth term of given arithmetic progression is a

$a_{p}=A+(p-1)D=a$

qth term of given arithmetic progression is b

$a_{q}=A+(q-1)D=b$ and

rth term of given arithmetic progression is c

$a_{r}=A+(r-1)D=c$

We have to prove that

$\frac{a}{p}\times (q-r)+\frac{b}{q}\times (r-p)+\frac{c}{r}\times (p-q)=0$

Now to prove LHS=RHS

Now take LHS

$\frac{a}{p}\times (q-r)+\frac{b}{q}\times (r-p)+\frac{c}{r}\times (p-q)$

$=\frac{A+(p-1)D}{p}\times (q-r)+\frac{A+(q-1)D}{q}\times (r-p)+\frac{A+(r-1)D}{r}\times (p-q)$

$=\frac{A+pD-D}{p}\times (q-r)+\frac{A+qD-D}{q}\times (r-p)+\frac{A+rD-D}{r}\times (p-q)$

$=\frac{Aq+pqD-Dq-Ar-prD+rD}{p}+\frac{Ar+rqD-Dr-Ap-pqD+pD}{q}+\frac{Ap+prD-Dp-Aq-qrD+qD}{r}$

$=\frac{[Aq+pqD-Dq-Ar-prD+rD]\times qr+[Ar+rqD-Dr-Ap-pqD+pD]\times pr+[Ap+prD-Dp-Aq-qrD+qD]\times pq}{pqr}$

$=\frac{Arq^{2}+pq^{2} rD-Dq^{2} r-Aqr^{2}-pqr^{2} D+qr^{2} D+Apr^{2}+pr^{2} qD-pDr^{2} -Ap^{2}r-p^{2} rqD+p^{2} rD+Ap^{2} q+p^{2} qrD-Dp^{2} q-Aq^{2} p-q^{2} prD+q^{2}pD}{pqr}$

$=\frac{Arq^{2}-Dq^{2}r-Aqr^{2}+qr^{2}D+Apr^{2}-pDr^{2}-Ap^{2}r+p^{2}rD+Ap^{2}q-Dp^{2}q-Aq^{2}p+q^{2}pD}{pqr}$

$=\frac{Arq^{2}-Dq^{2}r-Aqr^{2}+qr^{2}D+Apr^{2} -pDr^{2}-Ap^{2}r+p^{2}rD+Ap^{2}q-Dp^{2}q-Aq^{2}p+q^{2}pD}{pqr}$

$\neq 0$

ie., $RHS\neq 0$

Therefore $LHS\neq RHS$

ie., $\frac{a}{p}\times (q-r)+\frac{b}{q}\times (r-p)+\frac{c}{r}\times (p-q)\neq 0$

Hence proved

If the eyepiece of a compound microscope has a magnification power of 10X and the objective lense has a magnification power of 4

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Total magnification of microscope at this setting is 40X

Step-by-step explanation:

Total magnification of microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification power of individual lenses.

So if eyepiece has magnification power of 10X and objective lense has magnification power of 4X , the total magnification of microscope would be

10 × 4 = 40

which means the object will appear 40 times larger than actual object.

3a. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of a<br> line that passes through (2,1) and (6,-5).

eimsori [14]

Answer:

$y =- 3/2x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2,1) and (6,-5).\\x_1 = 2\\x_2 = 6\\y_1 =1\\y_2 =-5\\\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\\frac{y-1}{x-2} = \frac{-5-1}{6-2}\\\\\frac{y-1}{x-2} = \frac{-6}{4} \\Cross-Multiply\\4(y-1) = -6(x-2)\\4y-4=-6x+12\\4y =-6x+12+4\\4y = -6x+16\\Divide- through-by ; 4\\\frac{4y = -6x+16}{4} \\\\y = -\frac{3}{2} x +4$
