Answer:

Zero has one square root which is 0. Negative numbers don't have real square roots since a square is either positive or 0.

because its irrational if you have a negative sqaure root you would have to turn it positive by turning it to a fraction or if it's already in a fraction the you have to switch the side it's on and you could change the negative if it's a whole number that you should make it a fraction by putting a 1 under it

What would be the equation and how can I solve it
Blababa [14]
If alonzo is x then the equation is

x + (x +3) + 2(x + 3) = 57

Which equals

x + x + 3 + 2x + 6 = 57
4x + 9 = 57
4x = 48
x = 12

This means alonzo is 12 years old and alexis is 3 years older so alexis is 15 years old

Answer = 15 years old

Evaluate the upper and lower sums for f(x) = 1 + x2, −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, with n = 3 and 4.
Elenna [48]
I'm going to assume that your function is f(x) = 1 + x^2    (NOT x2).

I suspect you're trying to estimate the "area under the curve of f(x) = 1 + x^2.  You need to use this or a similar description to explain what you're doing.

Also, you need to specify whether you want "left end points" or "right end points" or "midpoints."  Again I must assume you want one or the other (and will assume that you meant "left end points").  

First, let's address the case n=3.  You must graph f(x) = 1 + x^2 between -1 and +1.     We will find the "lower sum," using "left end points."  The 3 x-values are {-1, -1/3, 1/3}.  Evaluate the function f(x) = 1 + x^2 at these 3 x-values.  Keep in mind that the interval width is 2/3.
The function (y) values are {0, 2/3, 4/3}.

Sorry, Michael, but I must stop here and await clarification from you regarding what you've been told to do in this problem.  Otherwise too much guessing (regarding what you meant) is necessary.  Please review the original problem and ensure that you have copied it exactly as presented, and also please verify whether this problem does indeed involve estimating areas under curves between starting and ending x-values.

Which ratios are less than 8 to 10? Check all that apply.<br> 6/20<br> 3:5<br> 50/100<br> 13:15
poizon [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6/20, 3:5, 50/100 are all less than 8/10

Step-by-step explanation:

It can help to give all the ratios a common denominator. (We'll use 100, and fudge the last one a bit.)

  8/10 = 80/100 . . . . our reference value

__

  6/20 = 30/100 . . . less than 8/10

  3/5 = 60/100 . . . . less than 8/10

  50/100 . . . . . . . . . less than 8/10

  13/15 ≈ 86.7/100 . . . more than 8/10
