Answer:
For your area models you would draw two rectangles and divide one into 2 equal sections, and the other one with 8 equal sections. You then shade 1 box out of the first triangle with 2 equal sides. Then you would shade 7 boxes on the rectangle with 8 equal sides. These diagrams would show you that 7/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent.
To find out what fractions are equivalent to 1/2 you would take 1/2 and times the numerator and denominator by the same number.
1/2*2/2= 2/4
2/4=1/2
1/2*9/9= 9/18
9/18=1/2
2/4 and 9/18 both equal 1/2
Hope this helps ;)
Answer:
D. 4 real roots and 0 complex roots
Step-by-step explanation:
If I assume that the function you are saying is

There should be up to "4 roots," there can't be more or less than 4 total solutions. First, we need to check how many sign changes are there in this function. There are 3 positive real roots. Now lets check for negative roots.
There are is only 1 negative real root. Since we basically have 4 real roots, and the max is 4. There should be 4 real roots and 0 complex roots.
c.
The number of students is represented with S, to show 2 times that number it is shown as 2S, a less than is word problem jargon for minus. So it is 2S-21.
X should equal -6/11 if I read the equation right
The equation of the line is y=2/3x + 0
Explanation: The y intercept (where the line crosses the y axis) is 0, and the slope is 2/3 (up two and 3 to the right)
