Find the sum of -6 1/8+1 1/4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vlad [161]3 years ago

Answer:

\large\boxed{-4\dfrac{7}{8}=-4.875}

Step-by-step explanation:

To add two fractions, they must have the same denominator.

LCD = 8

1\dfrac{1}{4}=1\dfrac{1\cdot2}{4\cdot2}=1\dfrac{2}{8}

-6\dfrac{1}{8}+1\dfrac{1}{4}=-6\dfrac{1}{8}+1\dfrac{2}{8}=-\left(6\dfrac{1}{8}-1\dfrac{2}{8}\right)=(*)\\\\\text{We know}\ 1=\dfrac{8}{8},\ 6=5+1=5+\dfrac{8}{8}=5\dfrac{8}{8}.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ 6\dfrac{1}{8}=5\dfrac{8+1}{8}=5\dfrac{9}{8}\\\\(*)=-\left(5\dfrac{9}{8}-1\dfrac{2}{8}\right)=-\bigg((5-1)+\dfrac{9-2}{8}\bigg)=-\bigg(4+\dfrac{7}{8}\bigg)=-4\dfrac{7}{8}

You can convert the fractions to the decimals.

6\dfrac{1}{8}=8.125\\\\1\dfrac{1}{4}=1.25\\\\-6\dfrac{1}{8}+1\dfrac{1}{4}=-6.125+1.25=1.25-6.125=-4.875

Round to the nearest thousandth 0.416
Liula [17]
Here is the value of each decimal digit value

.4⇒ tenths place

.01⇒hundredths place

.006,thousandths place

So .416 is .416 rounded since there is nothing to round to

In other words, its already rounded to the nearest thousandths 
Its kinda a trick question to make sure you know your place values

Write a quadratic relation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c with roots 4 and - 3 and
pochemuha

Answer:

y =  2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a quadratic function with roots a and b, we can write the equation for that function as:

y = f(x) = A*(x - a)*(x - b)

Where A is the leading coefficient.

In this case, we know that the roots are: 4 and -3

Then the function will be something like:

f(x) = A*(x - 4)*(x - (-3) )

f(x) = A*(x - 4)*(x + 3)

Now we need to determine the value of A.

We also know that the graph of the function passes through the point (3, -12)

This means that:

f(3) = -12

Then:

-12 = A*(3 - 4)*(3 + 3)

-12 = A*(-1)*(6)

-12 = A*(-6)

-12/-6 = A

2 = A

Then the equation is:

y = f(x) = 2*(x - 4)*(x + 3)

Now we need to write this in standard form, so we just need to expand the equation:

y = f(x) = 2*(x^2 + x*3 - x*4 - 4*3)

y = f(x) = 2*(x^2 - x - 12)

y = f(x) = 2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

Then the relation is:

y =  2*x^2 - 2*x - 24
