Answer:

  5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42

Step-by-step explanation:

We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:

  1/8.4 = 5/42

  1/8.8 = 5/44

  1/9.2 = 5/46

  1/9.6 = 5/48

__

<em>Check</em>

  • 1/8 = 0.125
  • 5/42 ≈ 0.119
  • 5/44 ≈ 0.114
  • 5/46 ≈ 0.109
  • 5/48 ≈ 0.104
  • 1/10 = 0.100

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

__

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.

What is the perimeter of the track in meters use TT= 3.14 and round to the nearest hundredth of a meter
Sonja [21]

Answer:

P = 321.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

To help simplify the process of solving this problem, first break it up into different shapes. Here, you have two shapes: a rectangle and a circle (1 semi-circle + 1 semi-circle = 1 circle).

Next, use the equation for circumference of a circle to find the first part of the perimeter (C = πd). In this case, the diameter would be 45m.

  1. C = πd
  2. C = 3.14 × 45
  1. C = 141.3 m

This is the first part of the circumference. Now, you must consider the rectangle. (Because the two shorter sides of the rectangle are not part of the perimeter, do not include these in your final answer.) The length of the rectangle is 90 meters, and since both sides that measure to 90m are part of what makes up the perimeter, lastly add these to the circumference you calculated earlier.

  1. (90 + 90) or (90 × 2) = 180
  2. P = 141.3 + 180
  3. P = 321.3m

Hope this helps! : )

The function is defined by f(x)= x^2+3x-10
yaroslaw [1]
First you put (x+5) into the initial function wherever you see x so it becomes
(x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10=x^2+kx+30
(x^2+5x+25)+(3x+15)-10 simplified left side
x^2+8x+30 fully simplified left side 
thus k=8
x^2+8x+30=0 to find 0s
-4 + 3.7416573867739i
<span>-4 - 3.7416573867739i
</span>these are the roots you find after using the quadratic formula 
the second one is the smallest

!!MATH GENIUSES HELP ME!!
seraphim [82]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Bill’s scores.

Let y be Theo’s scores.

x + y = 90

x² = y

Solve for x in the second equation.

x = √y

Put x as √y in the first equation and solve for y.

√y + y = 90

√y = 90 - y

y = (90 - y)²

y = - y² - 180y - 8100

0 = -y² - 181y - 8100

0 = (-y+81)(y-100)

-y+81=0

y = 81

y - 100 = 0

y = 100

100 does not work if we plug in to check, so y is 81.

y = 81

Put y as 81 in the first equation and solve for x.

x + 81 = 90

x = 9

Bill scored 9 goals and Theo scored 81.

Plz I'm sooooo confuzzled: If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then across the y-axis, do you get the same result tha
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

the answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shape is in the upper left quadrant then you reflect it across the x-axis it would be in the lower left quadrant, next you reflect across the y-axis it would be in the lower right quadrant, finally, if you rotate it 180 degrees it would be where it started.
