Which expression is represented by the phrase "9 less than 5 times a number"?

5x - 9.

Five times a number indicates multiplication and less than indicates subtraction. A number would be a variable since it isn’t specified.

7 times as much as sum of 1/3 and 4/5
Salsk061 [2.6K]
So the formula is
7*(1/3+1/5) = x

First find the common denominator of the fractions.  In this case the common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15 so we must convert them to 15ths.  To do that we divide 15 by the denominator and take that answer and multiply the numerator by it.

So for 1/3 we take 15/3(denominator) = 5 and multiply the numerator (1) by it

5 * 1 = 5 so 1/3 converts to 5/15

Do the same for 1/5 we take 15/5 = 3 and multiply the numerator (4) by it

3*4 = 12 so 4/5 converts to 12/15

Now we add 5/15 and 12/15 = 17/15 so we have our formula now to

7*17/15

We make seven a fraction 7/1 and multiply across 7*17 = 119 and 15 * 1 = 15

We have 119/15 which when we divide and get 7 14/15 as your answer

A line is tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=41, at the point (-4,-5)
VashaNatasha [74]
If the equation of the circle is x^2+ y^2 = 41, we must first understand the parts of the equation.
 A general circle's equation is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= r^2  
(h.k) is the radius of the circle
r is the radius of the circle
Another useful fact to know is that tangent lines touch the circle at one point (4,5)

Since in our original equation there are no h or k values, we can assume that the center of the circle is (0,0). 

The formula for slope is <u>Y1-Y2</u>
                                   X1-X2
We can break this down with our two points (center and tangent)
  (0,0)    and   (-4,-5)
(X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2)

therefore, we will put the equation as such
<u>0-(-5)= 5</u>  = <em> </em><u><em>5</em></u>
0-(-4)= 4     <em> 4</em>

<em>this is our slope from the center to the point of tangency.</em>

We know that tangent lines are perpendicular to the radius, which we've already found the slope of. Perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of the line they are perpendicular to. 

Therefore, we take our slope from center to the tangent, and make it opposite and then take the reciprocal of that slope, which will give us the slope of the tangent line itself. (note: reciprocal means flip the numerator and denominator)
<u>5</u> =  <u>-5</u>  =  <u>-4</u><u>
</u>4     4        5   

Now, we have a point on the line, and the line's slope. We can use slope-intercept equation to find the equation of the line.

Slope-int      y=mx+b
(x,y) is a point,
m is the slope
b is the y intercept  ( the point where x=0, or where its on the y axis)

now we plug things in
(-4,-5) is our point,
<u>-4</u>  is our slope
5

-5=<u>-4</u>(-4)+b       After we plug things in, solve for b
     5

-5= 3.2+b

-1.8= b  or  b=  <u />1 <u>4</u>
                         5

Now we just need to rewrite our equation with all our components.
(-4.-5) = point
<u>-4</u>  = slope<u>
</u>5
1 <u>4</u> = y-intercept<u>
</u>   5

<em>y=</em><u><em>-4</em></u><em> x+ 1 </em><u><em>4</em></u><em>     This is the equation of the tangent line</em><u>
</u><em>    5         5</em>


Hope that helped

John had $500<br> Anna has $400<br> Peter had $700<br> Who has the most?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Peter has the most

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter has the most amount of the money of the three of them.

From the question, we see that John had only $500 while Anna has $400 and Peter had $700. Which means, of all the three of them; John, Anna and Peter, Peter had the most because he had $700 the greatest amount of the three of them, which is followed by John who had $500, the greater and Anna had the least of it, $400.

Arranging from the Person who had the most of money, we have Peter with $700, John with $500 and lastly, Anna with $400.
