numerator = top part of the fraction

denominator = bottom part of the fraction

* means multiply

you can only add the numerator when the denominator is the same

cant add the denominator

denominator has to be the same

1/5 = 4/20

4/20 + 7/20 = 11/20

1 7/8 = 15/8

3/4 ÷ 15/8 =

3/4 * 8/15 =

24/60 = divide both top and bottom by 12 =

Step-by-step explanation:

a)1/5+ 7/20

1.find the CM of both denominators

2.multiply both the denominator and the numerator using the CM

=(1/5)×20 +(7/20)

=20/100 +35/100

since you multiply

3.Now add both numerators ( don't add the denominators)

=the answer is 55/100

What is the slope of the line parallel to the line whose equation is y+4x=7

ryzh [129]

Y+4x =7

Or y = -4x + 7

On comparing with point slope form

y = mx+c

We get m = -4 = slope of given line

As the required line is parallel to given line its slope is equal to -4

If discount rate is 12%, the present value of Rs X recieved at the end of each year for the next five years is equal to

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Present Value = $X [\frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{1} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{2} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{3} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{4} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{5} } ]$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find - If discount rate is 12%, the present value of Rs X received at the end of each year for the next five years is equal to .... ?

Solution -

We know that, formula for finding the Present vale is given by

Present value = Future value / (1 + r)ⁿ

where r is the rate of interest

and n is Number of periods

Now,

Here in the question, we have

r = 12% = 12/100 = 0.12

n = 5

Also, Given that, we have received Rs X at the end of each year

So,

Present Value = $\frac{X}{(1 + 0.12)^{1} } + \frac{X}{(1 + 0.12)^{2} } + \frac{X}{(1 + 0.12)^{3} } + \frac{X}{(1 + 0.12)^{4} } + \frac{X}{(1 + 0.12)^{5} }$

= $X [\frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{1} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{2} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{3} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{4} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{5} } ]$

⇒Present Value = $X [\frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{1} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{2} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{3} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{4} } + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12)^{5} } ]$

Find out by using binomial theory<br> (2y-3x)^3

AveGali [126]

Binomial theory : ( a - b ) ^3 = a^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 - b^3 ;
Then, ( 2y - 3x ) ^3 = 8y^3 - 36y^2x + 54yx^2 - 27x^3

Get the product using FOIL method: (x+2)(x+3)

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x² + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Foil means first, outside, inside, last

First: (x+2)(x+3)

x × x = x²

Inside: (x+2)(x+3)

x × 3 = 3x

Ouside: (x+2)(x+3)

2 × x = 2x

Last: (x+2)(x+3)

2 × 3 = 6

adding them together:

x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = x² + 5x + 6
