Sarah said that when you multiply two fractions that are both less than 1, you may sometimes get a product that is equal to or g

reater than 1. Is Sarah’s statement true? Why or why not?

Sarah's statement is false.

If a fraction is less than 1, it means that its numerator is less than its denominator.

So, if we multiply two fractions both are less than 1, then, numerators of both the fractions are less than their denominators.

Hence, in the resultant fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator and hence its value is less than 1.

Given f of x is equal to the quantity 8x plus 1 end quantity divided by the quantity 2x minus 9 end quantity, what is the end be
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

f(x) = (8x + 1) / (2x + 9)

Notice the brackets. They are necessary to show what comes before the division sign, and what comes after.

Behavior

The best way to state the behavior is to get something like a graphing program to show you what the curve looks like -- where it's critical points are for example. I use Desmos for  this kind of question, Just do a search for Desmos and bookmark it. You will use it quite often.

So you want to know the behavior.

<u><em>Right Curve</em></u>

Crosses the x axis at (-0.125, 0)

Crosses the y axis at (0,0,111)

The right curve has a domain of -∞ < x < ∞

The  right curve has a range of -∞ < x < ∞

The range is going to have to go out quite a ways before you see any dramatic decrease in the way it is drawn.

<u><em>Left Curve.</em></u>

The right hand curve never crosses either the x or y axis.  Nor does it just touch the x or y axis.

The domain is -∞ <x < 0

The range is 0<x<∞

Jada makes sparkling juice by mixing 2 cups of sparkling water with every 3 cups of apple juice.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

9 cups of apple juice

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sparkling water to apple juice is 2:3. You multiply the 2 by 3 to get the 6 cups of sparkling water, so you then multiply the 3 cups of apple juice by 3 to keep the ratio the same. 3 · 3 = 9. Jada uses 9 cups of apple juice. Hope this helps!
