An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator

This is improper because you can't have more parts than the whole. WELL you can, math is confusing

You can have a mixed number, which says how many wholes there are and how many parts of a whole there is.

It's just called an improper fraction just like that I guess,

all you really need to know is that the numerator (the top number) is greater than the denominator (the bottom number), and to make it proper, you have to make it into a mixed number, but you have to use improper fractions to perform some operations.

You'll learn more about converting stuff from improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa to perform certain operations in the future, but for now, you just need to know what an improper fraction is.

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An improper fraction is one where the magnitude of the numerator is greater than the magnitude of the denominator.

It is not enough to say that the numerator is greater than the denominator. You need to compare their magnitudes, i.e., their absolute values.

Suppose the fraction is 10/(-23). 10 is greater than -23, but 10/(-23) is not an improper fraction.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Question 1: Option C: y -6 = 8(x+4) is the correct answer.

Question 2: Option B: y-1=0 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1(In Picture):</u>

Given point is: (-4,6) and

Slope: m = 8

The point-slope form of equation of a line is given by:

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the point from which the line passes. Putting (-4,6) in the equation and slope

$y -6 = 8(x+4)$

Hence,

Option C: y -6 = 8(x+4) is the correct answer.

<u>Question 2:</u>

Given point is: (3,1) and

Slope: m = 0

The point-slope form of equation of a line is given by:

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the point from which the line passes. Putting (-4,6) in the equation and slope

$y -1 = 0(x-3)\\y-1 = 0$

Hence,

Option B: y-1=0 is the correct answer.

The following figure is a Cube. Find the missing values.

Alla [95]

Answer:

384 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty! The volume of a cube is V = a³. The equation for the surface area of a cube is 6a². The key number here will come with finding what a is. Here, we are already given the volume: 512 ft³. By working backwards a little we can solve for the variable a using the volume.

Volume = a³

512 = a³

Here we need to isolate the variable a in order to solve for it. In order to do this we must figure out a way to move the cube³ over. We can do this by cube rooting 512!

512 = a³

∛512 = a

The cubed root of 512 = 8 thus:

8 = a

Now we that we have solved for the variable a, we can plug this into our equation for the surface area of a cube.

SA = 6a²

a = 8

SA = 6(8)²

Solving exponents comes first naturally. 8² = 64

SA = 6(64)

SA = 384

Ta-da! Your surface area is 384 ft².
