What is the best estimate of of the sum of the fractions?

2 answers:

Ronch [10]3 years ago

Let's add the fractions first and then we can estimate the sum.

= 31/4 + 17/3 + 8/18
change to common denominators

= 279/36 + 204/36 + 16/36
add numerators only

= 499/36 or 13 31/36 or 13.86

ANSWER: (B) 13 is the best estimate of the answer. Normally we round up to 14 with a number like 13.86, but since that is not a choice, we can estimate 13 as the answer.

If f(x) is a linear function, f(−2)=4, and f(1)=−1, find an equation for f(x)

juin [17]

Answer:

$y = -\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(-2) = 4$

$f(1) = -1$

Required

The equation of the function

The given parameters means that:

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,-1)$

Calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

$m = \frac{-1-4}{1--2}$

$m = \frac{-5}{3}$

The equation is then calculated using:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

This gives:

$y =\frac{-5}{3}(x--2)+4$

$y =\frac{-5}{3}(x+2)+4$

Open bracket

$y = -\frac{5}{3}x-\frac{10}{3}+4$

Take LCM

$y = -\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{-10+12}{3}$

$y = -\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}$

The vertices of a triangle are p(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the x axis

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

<em>P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reflection across the x-axis</u>

Given a point P(x,y), its reflection across the x-axis will map to point P'(x,-y), i.e., the y-coordinate gets inverted.

We are given the vertices of a triangle P(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). The vertices of the image reflected across the x-axis are:

P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).

The new triangle has vertices P'Q'R'.

1) 1, 4, 16, 64, ...<br>CR=L<br>Next 3 Terms:

avanturin [10]

Answer:

256, 1024, 4096.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is x*4.

--> 1*4 = 4.

--> 4*4 = 16.

--> 16*4 = 64.

--> 64*4 = 256.

--> 256*4 = 1024.

--> 1024*4 = 4096.
