Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

−7/8÷7/−4=?

In the second fraction, move the negative sign from the denominator to the numerator and the value remains the same.

The equivalent equation is

−7/8÷−7/4=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator, leaving the negative sign on the numerator, and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

−7/8×−4/7=?

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

−7×−4/8×7=28/56

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 28 and 56 using

GCF(28,56) = 28

28÷28/56÷28=1/2

Therefore:

−7/8÷7/-4=1/2

Which equation should be used to calculate the 43rd partial sum for the arithmetic sequence.

MariettaO [177]

Answer: First Option : Sₙ= n/2(a₁ + aₙ)

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence or the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic series can be defined as the sum of a finite number of term in an arithmetic sequence.

It is calculated using the formula:

Sₙ= n/2(a₁ + aₙ)

Where :

a₁ = First term

aₙ = last term

n = number of terms

3. if kx² + 2x + k = -kx have equal roots, find the values of k.<br>

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = - $\frac{2}{3}$ , k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac

The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0

Given

kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )

kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is

kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form

with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus

(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side

4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0

- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for k

3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = - $\frac{2}{3}$

k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
