Answer:

5 whole number 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:(x-2)=11:3

(:)This simply means ''ratio''

5x/(x-2) = 11/3

(cross multiply)

11(x-2) = 3(5x)

11x-22 = 15x

collect like terms

15x - 11x = 22

4x = 22

x = 22/4, but it is best you put it as a Mixed number.

x = 5 whole number 2/4, which can be reduced to

x = 5 whole number 1/2

Answer:

x = -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios need to stay the same

5x        11

----- = -------

x-2       3

Using cross products

5x*3 = (x-2) 11

15x = 11x - 22

Subtract 11 from each side

15x-11x = -22

4x = -22

x = -22/4

x = -11/2

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)
QveST [7]
Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula.  The midpoint of a segment joining points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)

So the midpoint of your segment is

\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points.  Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.

The vertex of a parabola is (0,0)and the focus is (1/8, 0) . What is the equation of the parabola?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The equation of a parabola whose vertex is (0, 0) and focus is (1 / 8, 0) is equal to x = 2 · y².

<h3>How to derive the equation of the parabola from the locations of the vertex and focus</h3>

Herein we have the case of a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis. The <em>standard</em> form of the equation of this parabola is shown below:

(x - h) = [1 / (4 · p)] · (y - k)²     (1)

Where:

  • (h, k) - Coordinates of the vertex.
  • p - Distance from the vertex to the focus.

The distance from the vertex to the focus is 1 / 8. If we know that the location of the vertex is (0, 0), then the <em>standard</em> form of the equation of the parabola is:

x = 2 · y²     (1)

The equation of a parabola whose vertex is (0, 0) and focus is (1 / 8, 0) is equal to x = 2 · y².

Does the decimal equivalent of p/q, where p and q are positive integers, contain only a finite number of nonzero digits?
Aleks [24]

A/B is a reduced fraction which can be represented as a terminating decimal if and only b is of the form 2^n5^n where m and n are non negative integers. For example: 7/250, the terminating decimal here is 0.028 as 250 as the denominator equals to 2*5^2.

According to the above, we must know whether the denominator have only 2-s and or 5-s as the prime factors. So,

Q = 8 = 2 ^3 = hence the denominator has only 2 prime factors. Fraction P/Q will be termed as terminated decimal which is sufficient.
