Explain why multiplying a fraction by 5/6 results in a value that is less than the original fraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/6) itself is less than 1 (but greater than 0).  Thus, anything multiplied by (5/6) will result in a smaller-by-magnitude quantity.

For example, (5/6)(3/4) is LESS than 3/4 because 5/6 is greater than zero but less than 1.

Write the equation of a polynomial of degree 3, with zeros 1, 2 and -1 where f(0)=2
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the zeroes are 1,-1, and 2. we can write the function like

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)

f(x) = (x^2-1)(x-2)

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -x +2

and it is true that f(0)=2
