Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use a rule of three here.

2 rooms in 1/3 h

x rooms in 1 h

$\frac{2}{x}=\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{1}$

Solve for x;

$x=\frac{2*1}{\frac{1}{3} }$

Remember that when you divide by a fraction, you invert the fraction and multiply by the numerator.

1/3 inverted is 3/1 or 3

$x=(2*1)*3$

$x=(2)*3\\x=6$

4(3x^2y^4)^3 / (2x^3y^5)^4

tatyana61 [14]

Solving the expressions $\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$ we get $\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Solve the expression: $\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$

Solving:

$\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$

$=\frac{4(3^3x^6y^{12})}{(2^4x^{12}y^{20})}\\=\frac{4(27x^6y^{12})}{(16x^{12}y^{20})}\\=\frac{108x^6y^{12}}{16x^{12}y^{20}}$

Applying exponent rule: $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$=\frac{108x^{6-12}y^{12-20}}{16}\\=\frac{27x^{-6}y^{-8}}{4}$

Another exponent rule says: $x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}=$

$=\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

So, solving the expressions $\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$ we get $\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

Solve 5x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0 by completing the square.

Reika [66]

Answer: The correct option is (c) $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following quadratic equation by the method of completing the square:

$5x^2-7x+2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Also, we are to find the constant added on both sides to form the perfect square trinomial.

We have from equation (i) that

$5x^2-7x+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-\dfrac{7}{5}x+\dfrac{2}{5}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{7}{10}+\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2+\dfrac{2}{5}=\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49}{100}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49-40}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{9}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{7}{10}=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}.$

So,

$x=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10},~~~~~~~~x=-\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10}{10},~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-3+7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$
