6 0

Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 90 + 60 = 150
  2. 7 + 2 = 9
  3. Set up a proportion: \frac{9}{150} = \frac{x}{100}  
  4. Cross multiply, then divide: 9 × 100 = 900, 900 ÷ 150 = 6
  5. So, 6% of students in 6th grade were left-handed

I hope this helps!

Put the steps in correct order to prove that if x is irrational, then 1/x is irrational using contraposition.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct order is:

a

c

d

b

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write 1/x in a convenient way for us:

a) Substitute 1/x = p/q, to obtain x = 1/(1/x) = 1/(p/q) = q/p.

Now we assume that 1/x is rational (we want to prove that this implies that x will be also rational and because we know that x is irrational assuming that 1/x is rational will lead to an incongruence), then:

c. If 1/x is rational, then 1/x = p/q for some integers p and q with q ≠ 0. Observe that p is not 0 either, because 1/x is not 0.

Now we know that we can write x as a quotient of two integers, we need to imply that, then the next one is:

d) Observe that x is the quotient of two integers with the denominator nonzero.

And that is the definition of rational, then we end with:

b) Hence x is rational.

Which is what we wanted to get.

The maths question for algebra is
ankoles [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (2n +1) be the larger odd number by definition, where n can be any real integer. Then (2n - 1) is the smaller consecutive odd number.

The product of the 2 odd numbers is (2n + 1)(2n - 1) = 4n^2 - 1 = 2(2n^2) - 1. Since n^2 must be an integer, 2(2n^2) - 1 is odd. (Shown)

What is the center of the hyperbola whose equation is (y+3)^2/81-(x-6)^2/89=1?
xxMikexx [17]

We have been given an equation of hyperbola \frac{(y+3)^2}{81}-\frac{(x-6)^2}{89}=1. We are asked to find the center of hyperbola.  

We know that standard equation of a vertical hyperbola is in form \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}=1, where point (h,k) represents center of hyperbola.

Upon comparing our given equation with standard vertical hyperbola, we can see that the value of h is 6.

To find the value of k, we need to rewrite our equation as:

\frac{(y-(-3))^2}{81}-\frac{(x-6)^2}{89}=1

Now we can see that value of k is -3. Therefore, the vertex of given hyperbola will be at point (6,-3) and option D is the correct choice.
