Why do you cross-multiply when you solve proportions?

1 answer:

Llana [10]3 years ago

5 0

Answer: The reason you cross multiply fractions is to compare them. Cross multiplying fractions tells us if the two fractions are equal or which one is greater. This is especially useful when you are working with larger fractions that you aren't sure how to reduce.

It works cause they have the same denominator

Given limit of f (x) = 4 as x approaches 0. what is limit of one-fourth left-bracket f (x) right-bracket superscript 4 baseline

Otrada [13]

The limit of the given function if $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=4$ is 64

<h3>Limit of a function</h3>

Given the following limit of a function expressed as;

$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=4$

We are to determine the value of the function

$\frac{1}{4} \lim_{x \to 0} [f(x)]^4$

This can also be expressed as

$\frac{1}{4} \lim_{x \to 0} [f(x)]^4\\ = \frac{1}{4}(4)^4 \\=1/4\times 256\\=64$

Hence the limit of the given function if $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=4$ is 64

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{a = 6 m/s^{2}}$

Use the kinematic equation to solve for acceleration:

$a = \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

Where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Plug in the given values:

$a = \frac{65-35}{5}\\\\a = 30 / 5 \\\\=6 m/s^{2}$

Please solve the following sum or difference identity.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$sin(A - B) = \frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$sin(A) = \frac{24}{25}$

$sin(B) = -\frac{4}{5}$

Need:

$sin(A - B)$

First, let's look at the identities:

sum: $sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB$

difference: $sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB$

The question asks to find sin(A - B); therefore, we need to use the difference identity.

Based on the given information (value and quadrant), we can draw reference triangles to find the simplified values of A and B.

sin(A) = $\frac{24}{25}$

cos(A) = $\frac{7}{25}$

sin(B) = $-\frac{4}{5}$

cos(B) = $\frac{3}{5}$

Plug these values into the difference identity formula.

$sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB$

$sin(A - B) = (\frac{24}{25})(\frac{3}{5}) - (-\frac{4}{5})(\frac{7}{25})$

Multiply.

$sin(A - B) = (\frac{72}{125}) + (\frac{28}{125})$

Add.

$sin(A - B) = \frac{4}{5}$

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!
