Answer:

9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to make 1 1/4 an improper fraction so since the denominator is 4 you add 4 to the numerator which is 1 so your fraction would be 5/4.

Second you make the denominators the same so you have to multiply them together. but since your multiplying the denominators you have to multiply the numerator as well. so for 5/4 you would multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 so your fraction will now be 50/40. now you multiply 8/10 by 4 so your new fraction is now 32/40

Third you subtract. you only have to subtract the numerators so 50-32 is 18 so your answer is 18/40

Last you need to simplify the highest number you can divide both of them by is 2 so now you divide 18 by 2 which makes 9 then you divide 40 by 2 which is 20 so your answer is 9/20

Sorry i'm not the best at explaining things but i tried my best

Hope this helps you out and have a great day : )

Let sin(−θ)=−3/5 and tanθ>0. What is the value of cos(−θ)?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The value of Cos (-Ф) $\dfrac{\textrm 4}{\textrm 5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Trigonometric function as :

sin( - Ф ) = $\frac{- 3}{5}$

- sin Ф = $\frac{- 3}{5}$

So, sin Ф = $\frac{ 3}{5}$

Now, as sin Ф = $\dfrac{\textrm perpendicular}{\textrm hypotenuse}$

So , $\dfrac{\textrm perpendicular}{\textrm hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{ 3}{5}$

So, perpendicular = 3

And hypotenuse = 5

Now,<u> From Pythagoras Theorem</u>

Base ² = Hypotenuse² - Perpendicular²

Or, Base ² = 5² - 3²

Or, Base ² = 25 - 9

Or, Base ² = 16

∴ Base = $\sqrt{16}$

I.e Base = 4

Now, Cos Ф = $\dfrac{\textrm base}{\textrm hypotenuse}$

So, Cos Ф = $\dfrac{\textrm 4}{\textrm 5}$

Now , Since

Cos ( - Ф ) = Cos Ф

So, Cos ( - Ф ) = Cos Ф = $\dfrac{\textrm 4}{\textrm 5}$

Hence The value of Cos (-Ф) $\dfrac{\textrm 4}{\textrm 5}$ . Answer

One of the giraffes, Bernard, is sick. Last week he weighed 2,490 pounds. This week he weighs 2,312 pounds. If w represents the

victus00 [196]

Answer:

$w+2,312=2,490$

$w=178\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

w ----> the amount of weight lost in pounds

we know that

The amount of weight Bernard lost plus the weight of this week must be equal to the weight of the last week

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$w+2,312=2,490$

solve for w

subtract 2,312 both sides

$w=2,490- 2,312=178\ pounds$

Answer:

They went up 16 levels.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find that by finding the distance from -2 to 14.
To find the distance from two numbers, $a$ and $b$ , we can substitute both in the formula $d = |b - a|$ , where d is the distance between them.

$d = |14 - (-2)| \to |14 + 2|\to|16|\to16$
