Explain how 4/10÷2 and 4/10×1/2 both equal 2/10.

Mathematics
1 answer:
iris [78.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you are taking (4/10) and dividing it by 2.  you have a fraction over a fraction.  if you remember what you do to the top part of the equation you do to the bottom.  so we want to get rid of dividing by 2.  (multiple by the reciprocal)  the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2.  that will cancel out the bottom part of the equation but what you do to the bottom you have to do to the top.  so,  (4/10) * 1/2 is the same as (4/10) divided by 2. hope that makes sense.  it's much easier to write out then type math...

Two pipes running together can fill a tank in 20 minutes.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

45, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.

x-y=9

(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n

n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n

here u get:

(1/x+1/y)*20=1

you sub x=9+y into the above equation

1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20

((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)

180+40y=9y+y2

y2-31y-180=0

then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5

-5 is rejected because it is negative

x=36+9=45

therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins

What is the y-value of sin(x) when x= -180°?
Andreyy89

In trigonometry, we start from the point (1,0), so this is the 0-degree point. Then, we start rotating counter clockwise along the unit circle.

Note that rotating 180 or -180 degrees is actually the same, because you travel half the circumference clockwise or counter clockwise. In both cases, you start from the rightmost point of the circle, (1,0), and arrive at the leftmost point, (-1,0).

Now, for every point (x,y) on the unit circle, given by a certain angle \alpha, we have

\cos(\alpha)=x,\quad \sin(\alpha)=y

So, in this case, the angle of -180 is associated with the point (-1,0), and thus we have

\sin(-180)=0

Answer: The polynomial 3x2 is of one variable with a degree of 2.

The polynomial x2y + 3xy2 + 1 is of two variables a with a degree of 3.

Step-by-step explanation: For this case we have the following polynomials:

3x2

x2y + 3xy2 + 1

We have then:

For 3x2:

Classification: polynomial of one variable:

Degree: 2

For x2y + 3xy2 + 1:

Classification: polynomial of two variables

Degree: 2 + 1 = 3
