What is 1/4 - [-3/8] =

Mathematics

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago

1/4 - [-3/8]

\frac{1}{4}- (-\frac{3}{8})

Negative times negative become positive

\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{8}

Now to add fractions we make the denominator same

4  and 8 are in the denominator

Least common denominator of 4  and 8 is 8

To make denominators same , we multiply the numerator and denominator of first fraction by 2.

\frac{1*2}{4*2} + \frac{3}{8}

\frac{2}{8} + \frac{3}{8}

The denominators are same so we combine the numerators

\frac{2+3}{8}

\frac{5}{8}

\frac{1}{4}  -  \frac{ - 3}{8}  =  \frac{5}{8}
5/8 cross multiply on the top then multiply the denominator you get 20/32 reduce that it's 5/8

Use the function f(x) = -3x^2+13x+3 to find x when f(x) = -7
Bond [772]

Answer: - 235

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = -3x² + 13x + 3

f(-7) = -3(-7)² + 13(-7) + 3

      = -3(49) - 91 + 3

      = -147 - 88

      = -235

If c varies directly as (r + 1) and c = 8, when r= 3, calculate the value of r when c= 20.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

r = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that c varies directly as (r + 1) then the equation relating them is

c = k(r + 1) ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition c = 8 when r = 3, then

8 = k(3 + 1) = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

2 = k

c = 2(r + 1) ← equation of variation

When c = 20, then

20 = 2(r + 1) ← divide both sides by 2

10 = r + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

9 = r
