Answer:

The correct answer is C) 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this answer, you need to take the fraction that answered it on the first try and subtract the number that changed their mind.

7/18 - 1/9

In order to complete this operation, you need to give them common denominators.

7/18 - 2/18 = 5/18

How do I Rewrite the function by completing the square x^2+8x-29
Flura [38]

Answer:

  (x +4)^2 -45

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial has the form ...

  (x +a)^2 = x^2 +2ax +a^2

That is, the constant term (a^2) is the square of half the coefficient of the linear term: (2a/2)^2 = a^2.

To "complete the square", you add 0 in the form of the desired constant added to its opposite. Here, we want the constant for the square to be (8/2)^2 = 16. So, we can add 0 = 16 -16 to the expression:

  x^2 +8x +16 -29 -16

  (x^2 +8x +16) -45 . . . . group the terms that make the square

  (x +4)^2 -45 . . . . rewritten after completing the square

Prove each statement that is true and find a counterexample for each statement that is false. Assume all sets are subsets of a un
tekilochka [14]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A, B and C are subsets of universal set U.

We have to prove that

A\cap (B-C)=(A\cap B)-(A\cap C)

Proof:

Let x\in A\cap (B-C)

Then x\in A and x\in(B-C)

When x\in ( B-C)then x\in B but x\notin C

Therefore, x\in( A\cap B) but x\notin (A\cap C)

Hence, it is true.

Conversely , Let x\in(A\cap B) but x\notin(A\cap C)

Then x\in A and x\in B

When x\notin ( A\cap C) then x\notin C

Therefor,x\in A\cap (B-C)

Hence, the statement is true.

Hey Gary!

The volume of a cylinder is PiR^2h, or 3.14(r^2)h.
Let's define our measures.
Pi is 3.14 (simplified). However, our answer is requested in terms of Pi.
Our radius is 5.
Our height is 14.
Let's plug in our numbers.

5^2 • 14 • Pi
5^2 = 25
25 • 14 = 350.

350Pi is our answer.
However, rememver that we need to end our answer in units cubed, as we are using a 3-dimensional figure. Our answer is 350Pi in^3.
Your answer is B.)

I hope this helps!

What are the domain, range, and asymptote of h(x) = (0.5)x – 9?
Rzqust [24]

Let's solve for h

hx = 0.5x - 9

Step 1: Divide both sides by x.

hx/x = 0.5x - 9/ x

Answer = h = 0.5x - 9/ x
