The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number when you multiply it, it gives you the product of 1.

So for - 27, what number will give us 1 when we multiply it by -27

-27 * -1/27 = 1

So the multiplicative inverse of -27 = -1/27

7/9 * 9/7 = 1

-9/16 * -16/9 = 1

So in essence, just take the number and flip it

-27 = -1 / 27

7/9 = 9/7

-9/16 = -16/9

Company A is offering $6,000 for the first month's salary and will increase the amount each month by $5,000. Company B is offeri

Alex17521 [72]

The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Company A offers $6,000 for the first month and increases the salary each month by $5,000.

Company B offers $700 for the first month but doubles the payments each month.

We need to determine which month company B's payment is greater than company A's payment.

Step 2:

According to the table, at month 6 company A pays $31,000 while company B pays $22,400.

However after this month, in the seventh-month company A pays $36,000 while company B pays $44,800, which is higher than company A's salary.

So The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.

6) Two coastguard stations P and Q are 17km apart, with due East of P. A ship S is observed in distress on a bearing 048° fromP

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The ship S is at 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the ship to coastguard P be represented by x, and its distance to coastguard Q be represented by y.

But,

<P = 048°

<Q = $360^{o}$ - $324^{o}$

= 0 $36^{o}$

Sum of angles in a triangle = $180^{o}$

<P + <Q + <S = $180^{o}$

048° + 0 $36^{o}$ + <S = $180^{o}$

$84^{o}$ + <S = $180^{o}$

<S = $180^{o}$ - $84^{o}$

= $96^{o}$

<S = $96^{o}$

Applying the Sine rule,

$\frac{y}{Sin P}$ = $\frac{x}{Sin Q}$ = $\frac{z}{Sin S}$

$\frac{y}{Sin P}$ = $\frac{z}{Sin S}$

$\frac{y}{Sin 48^{o} }$ = $\frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }$

$\frac{y}{0.74314}$ = $\frac{17}{0.99452}$

⇒ y = $\frac{12.63338}{0.99452}$

= 12.703

y = 12.70 km

$\frac{x}{Sin Q}$ = $\frac{z}{Sin S}$

$\frac{x}{Sin 36^{o} }$ = $\frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }$

$\frac{x}{0.58779}$ = $\frac{17}{0.99452}$

⇒ x = $\frac{9.992430}{0.99452}$

= 10.0475

x = 10.05 km

Thus,

the ship S is at a distance of 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

8 19. Marcus claims that fractions with denominators 1 through 10 follow a pattern

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus is not correct because 1/12 converts to the repeating decimal 0.8333... but 3/12 converts to 0.25 which is not a repeating decimal.
