Answer:

259/30 or 8 19/30 depending on what format your teacher wants the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First we can turn both mixed fractions into improper fractions and to do that we multiply the whole number by the denominator and that add that to the top number. So for 3 4/5 we would multiply 3 and 5 and than add 4 getting us to 19/5 doing the same to 4 5/6 gets us to 29/6. Now in order to add fractions we need to get a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30 so we will multiply each fraction by whatever number will give us 30 in the denomiator. for 19/5 that number is 6 so our new fraction is 114/30 and for 29/6 that number is 5 so our new number is 145/30. Now we just add the numerators and simplify. 114/30+145/30=259/30

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!

If y= 3x + 6, what is the minimum value of (x^3)(y)?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Given the statement: if y =3x+6.

Find the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$

Let f(x) = $(x^3)(y)$

Substitute the value of y ;

$f(x)=(x^3)(3x+6)$

Distribute the terms;

$f(x)= 3x^4 + 6x^3$

The derivative value of f(x) with respect to x.

$\frac{df}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}(3x^4+6x^3)$

Using $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$

we have;

$\frac{df}{dx} =(12x^3+18x^2)$

Set $\frac{df}{dx} = 0$

then;

$(12x^3+18x^2) =0$

$6x^2(2x + 3) = 0$

By zero product property;

$6x^2=0$ and 2x + 3 = 0

⇒ x=0 and x = $-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5$

then;

at x = 0

f(0) = 0

and

x = -1.5

$f(-1.5) = 3(-1.5)^4 + 6(-1.5)^3 = 15.1875-20.25 = -5.0625$

Hence the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$ is, -5.0625

Factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y. (i will mark brainlyest)

mash [69]

Answer:

-1/4 (2x - 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y

We will have to multiply the values in bracket by the reciprocal of -1/4 i.e -4 as shown

-1/2x - 5/4 y

= -1/4 (-4(-1/2x) - (-4)(-5/4y))

= -1/4 (4/2 x - 20/4 y)

= -1/4 (2x - 5y)

Hence the factored expression is -1/4 (2x - 5y)

A car's velocity changes at a rate of 36 miles per hour in 0.5 hour.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the acceleration we need first to defined it, so:

acceleration=((final velocity)-(initial velocity))/time interval

$a=(vf-vi)/dt$

But (vf-vi) actually represents the velocity change, so (vf-vi)/dt represents the velocity change rate. This means that in our case:

$a=(36miles/hour)/(0.5hours)$

$a=72miles/hour^2$

In conclusion the acceleration is $a=72miles/hour^2$ , without units just 72.
