What is an improper fraction

Mathematics

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.

The slope of the function, f(x) can be determined by choosing two sets of ordered pairs from the table and substituting their values into the slope formula.

Let (x1, y1) = (0, -1)
(x2, y2) = (1, 7)

Plug these values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = [7 - (-1)] / [1 - 0]
m = (7 + 1) / 1
m = 8/1 or 8.

Therefore, the slope of f(x), m = 8.

The y-intercept of the function, f(x) is given by (0, -1), as it is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis. It is also the value of y when x = 0.

The equation of the linear function, f(x) is:
f(x) = 8x - 1.

Given the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-intercept:

The function, g(x) = 3x - 2 has a slope of 3, and y-intercept of -2.

Comparing the slope and y-intercept of the two functions, f(x) and g(x):

The slope of f(x), m = 8 is greater and steeper than the slope of g(x), m = 3. The y-intercept of f(x), b = -1 is greater than the y-intercept of g(x), b = -2.

Attached is a screenshot of the graph of both lines, including their y-intercepts. The blue line is g(x) = 3x - 2, and the red line is f(x) = 8x - 1.

This is for union and intersection. I need help.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Problem 11) Start with set U = {1,2,3,4,5} and cross off 1,2,3 to be left with A' = {4,5}. We basically erase everything found in set A. You have the correct answer. Nice job.

Problem 12) Start with U = {1,2,3,4,5} and erase '5' to be left with {1,2,3,4}. So B' = {1,2,3,4}. You are correct here as well.

I can't help with the other problems since either letters, numbers or symbols are missing. Please make a new post and provide those updates.

Given h(x) =3x-4 find x if h(x) =17
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 17 so you would input 17 for h(x). The equation should look like this. 17= 3x-4. Add 4 to both sides changing the equation to 21 = 3x. Finally divide both side by 3 and you should get x = 7.

The area of a circular field is 16π square miles. What is the diameter of the field in miles.
ella [17]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide the area (in square units) by Pi (approximately 3.14159).

2. Take the square root of the result. This is the radius.

3. Now double the radius to get the diameter
