Mathematics

Gennadij [26K]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:no

Step-by-step explanation:put the two numbers in the same denominator

The least common denominator of 8 and 12 is 24. So to get 8 to 24 you multiply it by 3. So 3(3/8) is 9/24.

To get 12 to 24 you multiply it by 2. So 2(7/12) is 14/24. 9/24 is less than 14/24.

What point is 2/3 of the distance from point A(3, 1) to point B(3, 19)?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: (3, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let the point be P, then AP:BP=2:1.

$P=\left(\frac{(2)(3)+(1)(3)}{2+1}, \frac{(2)(19)+(1)(1)}{2+1} \right)=(3, 13)$

What is the equation of a quadratic function p with rational coefficients that has a zero of 3-i

Kryger [21]

Answer:

p = x² − 6x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots come in conjugate pairs. So if 3−i is a root, then 3+i is also a root.

p = (x − (3−i)) (x − (3+i))

p = x² − (3+i)x − (3−i)x + (3−i)(3+i)

p = x² − 3x − ix − 3x + ix + (9 − i²)

p = x² − 6x + 10

You can check your answer using the quadratic formula.

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [ 6 ± √(36 − 40) ] / 2

x = (6 ± 2i) / 2

x = 3 ± i

Jayden’s rectangular garden is 5 3/4 feet long and 4 1/2 feet wide. What is the area, in square feet, of the garden

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The area is 25.875 square feet. Or it can be written as $25\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You would simply multiply them by each other. 5 3/4 is aso 5.75. And 4 1/2 is also 4.5. So simply multiply 5.75 by 4.5

5.75*4.5 to get 25.875
