Hello there!

To find the fraction of applicants that are accepted into the Ivy League college, all you have to do is put the number of students accepted (numerator) over the total number of students that apply (denominator). This makes the fraction 5/100. This fraction can be simplified. To simplified, find the GCF of the two numbers. The GCF of 5 and 100 is 5. Divide both parts by 5. 5/100 ÷ 5/5 is 1/20. There. 5/100 is 1/20 in simplest form. The Ivy League college accepts 1/20 of it's applicants.

Convert 5 whole number and 7 over 8 into an improper fraction
Len [333]

Answer: 47/8

Step-by-step explanation: To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. Finally, we will put our new number over our old denominator and we have our answer which is 47/8.

Therefore, 5\frac{7}{8} can be rewritten as the improper fraction 47/8.

If log a=3 log b-2 log c, find an expression for a that does not involve logarithms​
photoshop1234 [79]

Assuming that b>0 and c>0:

log(a)=3×log(b)-2×log(c)=

log(b³)-log(c²)=

log(b³/c²)

Hence a=b³/c²

We need to attach a support wire to Glendale's flagpole, which is 24 feet high. The
antoniya [11.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

this creates a right-angled triangle.

the right angle (90°) being the angle between flag pole and ground.

the angle ground-wire is 50°.

because we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know then that the angle flagpole-wire is

180 - 90 - 50 = 40°

so, we have the situation to know 1 side and all angles.

to get the other sides we use best the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

where the sides and related angles are always opposite of each other.

in our case now we have

24/sin(50) = wire/sin(90) = wire/1 = wire = 31.32977494... ft

so, the rounded answer is that the wire must be

31.3 ft long

Prove the polynomial identity
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The steps have been shown in the solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x+1)^{2} - 2(3x+1)=(3x+1)(3x-1)

9x^{2} +6x+1 -6x-2= (3x+1) (3x-1)\\\\9x^{2} -1=(3x+1)(3x-1)\\\\(3x+1)(3x-1)=(3x+1)(3x-1)\\

LHS=RHS Hence, proved.
