You can either convert -3 into a fraction, or convert -2/5 into a decimal so you can solve this.
If you decide to convert -3, into a fraction, it would be -3/1, and you'd have to multiply that by the reciprocal of -2/5.
So, you'd have -3/1(-5/2)=15/2, which can be simplified to 7 1/2.
If you decide to convert -2/5 into a decimal, you would get -0.4. You would then divide -3 by -0.4, which is equal to 7.5.
Both 7.5 and 7 1/2 are correct answers, and if you were to convert 7.5 into a fraction and 7 1/2 into a decimal, you would notice that they are the same number, but in different forms.

F (a)=2a^2-16a+32<br> For which 'a' is this equation 0?
sergiy2304 [10]
If xy=0 assume that at leas 1 is zero
set it to zero

0=2a^2-16a+32
undistribute 2
0=2(a^2-8a+16)
2*0=0 so assume
a^2-8a+16=0
factor
(a-4)(a-4)=0
set to zero
a-4=0
a=4


when a=4, equation equals zero

in this case there are three digits on the right side of the decimals you count three spaces to the left of your answer wich is 574. put the decimal point infront of the 5 and you get you answer. 70.574
