Answer:

  • h = 5/2
  • p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

c) Multiply by the denominator under the variable, then simplify.

\dfrac{10}{8}=\dfrac{h}{2}\\\\\dfrac{2\cdot 10}{8}=h\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}=h

__

d) Simple observation shows you the denominator of each fraction is half the numerator, so p = 6.

If you want to solve this algebraically, you can multiply by p and divide by the value on the left of the equal sign (2).

\dfrac{4}{2}=\dfrac{12}{p}\\\\\dfrac{p}{2}\cdot\dfrac{4}{2}=\dfrac{p}{2}\cdot\dfrac{12}{p}\\\\p=6

__

For an "upside down" proportion such as this (with the variable in the denominator), you can rewrite it by inverting both fractions:

  \dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{p}{12}

Now, solve as for (c), by multiplying by the denominator under the variable:

  \dfrac{12\cdot 2}{4}=p=6

_____

<em>Comment on this last solution method</em>

In general, you can use equation solving methods to solve inequalities. However, taking a reciprocal is an order-reversing process:

  3 > 2

  1/3 < 1/2

So, if you want to solve an inequality with the variable in the denominator of a proportion, be careful to observe any order-changing behavior of your solution method.

Answer:

b=2.5

p=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fraction and simplify it. So 10/8 would be 5/4

You multiply the 2 by 2, giving you h/4

So now you have 5/4=h/4

h=5 but now you have to divide both by 2 again so it can go back to the original fraction.

5÷2=2.5 and 4÷2=2

Second Problem! 4/2 is equal to 2/1

You can also multiply 4 by 3 to get the numerator as 12. Multiply the 4 by 3 and the 2 by 3

Now you have 12/6= 12/p

So p is 6

Sarah and four friends are decorating picture frames with ribbon. They have 4 rollsof ribbon to share evenly?
ki77a [65]
"Sarah and four friends", this means that we have a total of 5 persons.
They have four rolls of ribbon to share evenly.
1- This represents division as they have to equally divide four rolls among them.

2- The share of each can be calculated by dividing the four rolls they have by the five of them as follows:
share of each = 4/5 rolls = 0.8 rolls

Will be giving brainliest to the correct one, no links or account will be reported:)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

x = 38

∠P = 26º

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angle in a triangle is 180

x + (x + 78) + (x - 12) = 180

Combine like terms

3x + 66 = 180

Subtract 66 from both sides

3x = 114

Divide both sides by 3

x = 38

-----------------------

∠P = x - 12

∠P = 38 - 12

∠P = 26º

H function is even, odd, or neither.<br> b. g(x) = x² - 2<br> Is it odd or even
o-na [289]

g(x) = x^2 - 2 \text{ is even function }

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

g(x) = x^2 - 2

We have to find whether the above function is odd or even

If a function is: y = f(x)

If f(-x) = f(x), the function is even

If f(-x) = - f(x), the function is odd

Which is,

\mathrm{Even\:Function:\:\:A\:function\:is\:even\:if\:}f\left(-x\right)=f\left(x\right)\mathrm{\:for\:all\:}x\in \mathbb{R}\\\\\mathrm{Odd\:Function:\:\:A\:function\:is\:odd\:if\:}f\left(-x\right)=-f\left(x\right)\mathrm{\:for\:all\:}x\in \mathbb{R}

From given,

g(x) = x^2 - 2

Replace x with -x

g(-x) = (-x)^2 - 2\\\\g(-x) = x^2 - 2

Therefore,

g(x) = g(-x)

Thus the function g(x) is even
