Answer:

  5/8 or 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction will be exactly ...

  5/(8 1/2) = 10/17   ⇒   (8 1/2)×(10/17) = 5

__

The fraction will be approximately ...

  5/8 or 5/9

The denominator will be a number that makes (8 1/2)/(denominator) ≈ 1. For that denominator, the numerator will be 5, so that we have ...

  (8 1/2) × (5/denominator) ≈ 5

  (8 1/2)/(denominator) ≈ 1 .  . . . . . . . divide by 5

If we want the denominator to be an integer, we could choose either 8 or 9. If we choose 8, the result will be slightly more than 5; if we choose 9, the result will be slightly less.

  (8 1/2) × (5/8) = 5.3125 ≈ 5

  (8 1/2) × (5/9) = 4.722... ≈ 5

Either 5/8 or 5/9 will give a product of about 5.

Using sine and cosine, explain how you know where the graph of tangent will
notsponge [240]

Remember how the tangent function is defined as

\frac{sinx}{cosx}

Now where exactly are the vertical assymptotes? Well, where cosx = 0, because  anything over 0 is undefined, and where a value is undefined, you are required to draw  a vertical assymptote.  

Now where exactly are the x interecepts? Well, where sinx = 0, because remember, an x-intercept  is where y = 0, or where it crosses the x-axis, meaning where the tangent function is equal to 0.

So the x-intercepts are at where sinx = 0.

Find the equilibrium point for the pair of demand and supply functions. Here q represents the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The equilibrium point for the pair of demand and supply function is 100

We have been two linear function, one is linear supply function and other is linear demand function.

In general , linear supply function is given as:

                            Qs = x + yP

                       Where , Qs = quantity supplied

                                        x = quantity

                                        P = price

And linear demand function is given is :

                             Qd = x + yP

                      Where , Qs = quantity supplied

                                        x = quantity

                                        P = price

According to the question,

                   Linear supply function is q = 300 + 5x

          And  linear demand function is q = 4800 – 40x

To find the equilibrium point we will put two quantities equal, that is,

                                 Qs = Qd

                      300 + 5x = 4800 – 40x

                        5x + 40x = 4800 – 300

                          45x = 4500

                             x =  100

Hence the equilibrium point is 100
