3/4 ÷ 5 1/2 please explain the steps

1 answer:

3 0

The easiest way to do it is to make the numbers into decimals. All you need to do is divide them.

To convert 3/4 into a decimal just divide 3 by 4.

3 / 4 = .75

To get 5 1/2 into a decimal just ignore the 5 for now and divide the 1 by 2.

1 / 2 = .5

Now add the 5 back on and you have 5.5

So far you have converted the equation from (3/4) / 5 1/2 to .75 / 5.5

Now just divide .75 by 5.5

.75 / 5.5 = 1.136 with the 36 repeated

Which of the following best describes the zeros of the quadratic function above?

bixtya [17]

The zeros of a quadratic function are found where the graph intersects the x-axis. If the graph interects the x-axis in 2 places, we have 2 real solutions; if the graph intersects--or just touches--the x-axis in one place we have one real solution multiplicity 2; if the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all we have 2 imaginary solutions. Ours goes through the x-axis in 2 places so we have 2 real solutions. Choice A.

$\text{The scientific notation:}\\\\a\times10^n\\\\1\leq a$

$a.\\(5\times10^3)\times(3.5\times10^{-1})=(5\times3.5)\times(10^3\times10^{-1})\\\\=15.75\times10^{3+(-1)}=15.75\times10^2=1.575\times10\times10^2\\\\=1.575\times10^{1+2}=\boxed{1.575\times10^3}$

$b.\\(8\times10^2)\div(4\times10^3)=(8\div4)\times(10^2\div10^3)=2\times10^{2-3}\\\\=\boxed{2\times10^{-1}}$

$c.\\(6\times10^{-3})^2=6^2\times(10^{-3})^2=36\times10^{-3\cdot2}=36\times10^{-6}=3.6\times10\times10^{-6}\\\\=3.6\times10^{1+(-6)}=\boxed{3.6\times10^{-5}}$
