For Domain<span>, you just need to watch out for Square Roots and/or Fractions! 1) a POLYNOMIAL (no square roots or fractions), i.e. f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 1, </span>domain<span> is "all real numbers." 2) a FRACTION (w/ no square root), i.e. f(x) = (2x+1)/(x^2+5x+6). Set bottom "not equal" to zero.</span>
If the 5 of them weigh 1/4 of a ton
then 1 of them weigh x
5/1 = 1/4//x Do you see what happens? Just by writing down the givens you get a proportion. It will work better for you if you change the 1/4 to 0.25
5/1 = 0.25/x Now it looks like an ordinary proportion. Cross multiply
5x = 0.25*1 divide by 5
x = 0.25/5
x = 0.05 tons. We better change this to pounds.
1 ton = 2000 pounds
0.05 ton = x
1/0.05 = 2000/x Cross multiply
x = 2000 * 0.05
x = 100 pounds.
Answer:
or 0.0025 0r 0.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three categories that will get a prize
1) First place = 1 person
2) Second place = 5 persons
3) Third place = 20 persons
A total of 26 people will get prizes.
However, we want to determine your chance to win one of the second place prizes
There are 5 prizes in second place
This means out of a total of 2000 people, you could be among the 5
i.e 5 out of 2000
This is 
This means you have a chance of 1 out of 400
= 0.25%
Divide: 7/3: 1/5= 7/3· 5/1= 7 · 5/3 · 1= 35/3
