First do 1/15=0.06
then 0.06 as a fraction is 6/100

6/100 can be turn into 3/50

3/50 is the answer :)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,3)(−5,3) and is parallel to the line 3x-5y=303x−5y=30?

rosijanka [135]

The equation of the line which passes through the point (-5, 3) and is parallel to the equation 3x -5y = 30 is; 3x -5y = 30.

<h3>What is the equation of the line?</h3>

Since the line is parallel to the given line; 3x -5y = 30 whose slope is; 3/5.

Hence, since the two lines have equal slopes;

3/5 = (y-3)/(x-(-5))

3/5 = (y-3)/(x+5)

5y -15 = 3x +15

3x -5y = 30

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

A is the smallest two digit whole number; "b" is the sum of prime numbers up to 10. what is a b?

Natasha2012 [34]

Whole numbers are like 0,1,2,3,4,5...
the smallest one is 10

prime numbers
I do not accept 1 as a prime number, if you agree, go to AAAAAAAAA
if you do think it's a prime number, go to BBBBBBB

AAAAAAA
2,3,5,7
2+3+5+7=17
a+b=10+17=27

BBBBBBBBBBB
1,2,3,5,7
1+2+3+5+7=18
a+b=10+18=28

if you do not think a is a prime number, then the answer is 27
if you do think 1 is prime number then the answer is 28
