1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72 then 72+1= 73
b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c
Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4
-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots
(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5(6-3)=6+13 -simplify
30-15=6+13
15=19
x doesnt equal 6
5(x-3)=x+13
5x-15=x+13
4x=28
x=7
4x=28
4(7)=28
28=28
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x) = x² - 1 and Q(x) = 5(x - 1)
(P - Q)(x) = x² - 1 - 5(x - 1)
= x² - 1 - 5x + 5
= x² - 5x + 4
