7 1/4 + 5 3/5= reduced to it's lowest form

1 answer:

4 0

7 1/4 + 5 3/5
First, you need a common denominator to add the two. 20 will work.
4x5=20, so we have to also multiply 1 by 5.
4x5=20, 1x5=5
5x4=20, so we have to also multiply 3 by 4.
5x4=20, 3x4=12
And now we put the fractions back in.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20
And add them.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20 = 12 17/20
Now, we're supposed to reduce it to its lowest form.
Unfortunately, the fraction cannot be reduced, because 17 is a prime number, meaning there are no factors to it except one and itself.
Therefore, the lowest form of 12 17/20 is 12 17/20
Your answer is B, 12 17/20

5.44 Teaching descriptive statistics: A study compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five meth

maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

[Quick Answer Needed] Which of the following shows the extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the logarithmic equation

$\log_4x+\log_4(x-3)=\log_4(-7x+21)$

First, notice that

$x>0\\ \\x-3>0\Rightarrow x>3\\ \\-7x+21>0\Rightarrow 7x$

So, there is no possible solutions, all possible solutions will be extraneous.

Solve the equation:

$\log_4x+\log_4(x-3)=\log_4x(x-3),$

then

$\log_4x(x-3)=\log_4(-7x+21)\\ \\x(x-3)=-7x+21\\ \\x^2-3x+7x-21=0\\ \\x^2+4x-21=0\\ \\D=4^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-21)=16+84=100\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-4\pm 10}{2}=-7,\ 3$

Hence, $x=3$ and $x=-7$ are extraneous solutions
