Answer:

  -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)/(2/-5) +(-1/4) = (1/2)·(-5/2) -(1/4) . . . . invert the denominator and multiply

  = -5/4 -1/4 = -6/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add the two terms

  = -3/2 . . . . . reduce the fraction

_____

<em>Comment on fraction division</em>

There are two ways to divide fractions. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

<u>One</u>: multiply by the inverse of the denominator:

  (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c) = (ad)/(bc)

<u>Two</u>: adjust the denominators to be the same, then use the ratio of numerators:

  (a/b) / (c/b) = a/c

__

Here, we could rewrite the fractions as ...

  (5/10) / (-4/10) = -5/4 . . . . using method two

Mama L [17]

Answer:  We can plot the graph with help of below explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given equation of polynomial,

P(x) = x^4 - 3x^3 - 8x^2 + 12x + 16

End behavior : Since, the leading coefficient of the polynomial is positive and even.

Therefore, the end behavior of the polynomial is,

f(x)\rightarrow -\infty as x\rightarrow -\infty

And, f(x)\rightarrow +\infty  as  x\rightarrow +\infty

Points of the curve : since, P(4) = 0

Therefore, (x-4) is the multiple of P(x),

And we can write,  x^4 - 3x^3 - 8x^2 + 12x + 16= (x-4)(x^3+x^2-4x-4)

x^4 - 3x^3 - 8x^2 + 12x + 16=(x-4)(x+1)(x^2-4)

x^4 - 3x^3 - 8x^2 + 12x + 16= (x-4)(x+1)(x+2)(x-2)

Thus, the roots of equation are 4, 2, -1 and -2.

Therefore, x-intercepts of the polynomial are (4,0) (2,0) (-1,0) and (-2,0)

Also, the y-intercept of the polynomial is ( 0,16)

Thus, we can plot the graph with help of the above information.

You deposit $300 in a savings account. The account earns 2% simple interest per year.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Answer:

a. ----> $10

b. ----> $110

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

principle ( p ) = $100

time ( t ) = 10 years

rate ( r ) = 11%

simple interest = (p × r × t)÷ 100

= ( $100 × 11 × 10 )÷ 100

= 11000 ÷ 100

= $110

interest = simple interest - principle

interest = $110 - $100

= $10
