Answer:

5/4 is greater than -1/4 because negative number are less than positive numbers...

Is 5/4 greater than -1/4? Is 5/4 bigger than -1/4? Is 5/4 larger than -1/4? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

5/4 = 1.25

-1/4 = -0.25

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

1.25 is greater than -0.25.

Therefore, 5/4 is greater than -1/4 and the answer to the question "Is 5/4 greater than -1/4?" is yes.

Which means that this equation is also true: 5/4 > 1/4

Hope this helps... Stay safe and have a great rest of the weekend!!! :D

From the set {4, 8, 16}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the equation true.

Annette [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution: substitute each number from the set in for x, and see if the result from dividing is 45.

360/x=45

360/4=90

90 ≠ 45

Therefore, 4 does not make the equation true

360/x=45

360/8=45

45=45

Therefore, 8 does make the equation true.

360/x=45

360/16=22.5

22.5 ≠ 45

Therefore, 16 does not make the equation true.

So, 8 is the value that makes the equation true

Which card has the solution x = 23?

morpeh [17]

I need a photo but ill give you some information this will be with exponents.

Write down the problem. Here it is:

2^2(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32

Resolve the exponent. Remember the order of operations: PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. You can't resolve the parentheses first because x is in the parentheses, so you should start with the exponent, 2^2.2^2 = 4

4(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32

Do the multiplication. Just distribute the 4 into (x +3). Here's how:

4x + 12 + 9 - 5 = 32

Do the addition and subtraction. Just add or subtract the remaining numbers. Here's how:

4x+21-5 = 32

4x+16 = 32

4x + 16 - 16 = 32 - 16

4x = 16

Isolate the variable. To do this, just divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find x. 4x/4 = x and 16/4 = 4, so x = 4.

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

Check your work. Just plug x = 4 back into the original equation to make sure that it checks out. Here's how:

2^2(x+3)+ 9 - 5 = 32

2^2(4+3)+ 9 - 5 = 32

2^2(7) + 9 - 5 = 32

4(7) + 9 - 5 = 32

28 + 9 - 5 = 32

37 - 5 = 32

32 = 32

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question :)

The graph is touching the x-axis at x= 2 and is turning away.

When a graph exhibit such a behavior at a root, we say that the multiplicity of the root is 2. So the roots of the polynomial are x = 2 and x = 2. The factors of the polynomial are (x - 2) and (x - 2)

The polynomial thus can be written as product of its factors as (x-2)(x-2)

So the correct answer to this question is option B

Harman [31]

Answer:

C. Sample: listings in a local newspaper and on an Internet sitePopulation: all available apartments near the college

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample is the set of information Greg collects to do his estimation. The sample is necessarily a subset of the population. That is, in this case, the apartments listed in the local newspaper and the internet. He will estimate a mean rent for the sample and, with this result, estimate the population mean rent.

The population is the bigger set available for Greg to do the estimation, and the set he wants to estimate a parameter from (in this case, the mean rent).

In this case, the population is all the apartments near the college.
