Insert 2 rational numbers between -1/3 and -1/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-11/24 and -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a fraction in the form a/b where both a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero.

Given the numbers -1/3 and -1/2, to place two numbers between them, we have to first find the width between the two numbers.

Width = -1/3 - (-1/2) = -1/3 + 1/2 = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6

Since two numbers are to be placed between -1/3 and -1/2, we have to divide the width into 3 which results to 1/6 ÷ 3 = 1/18

The first number placed is -1/3 - 1/18 = -11/24

The second number is -11/24 - 1/18 = -4/9

3. Solve the system using elimination (not substitution or matrices). negative 2 x plus y minus 2 z equals negative 8A N D7 x pl
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Elimination Method

\begin{gathered} -2X+Y-2Z=-8 \\ 7X+Y+Z=-1 \\ 5X+2Y-Z=-9 \end{gathered}

If we multiply the equation 3 by (-1) we obtain this:

\begin{gathered} -2X+Y-2Z=-8 \\ 7X+Y+Z=-1 \\ -5X-2Y+Z=9 \end{gathered}

If we add them we obtain 0, therefore there are infinite solutions. So, let's write it in terms of Z

1. Using the 3rd equation we can obtain X(Y,Z)

\begin{gathered} 5X=-9-2Y+Z \\ X=\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5} \\  \end{gathered}

2. We can replace this value of X in the 1st and 2nd equations

\begin{gathered} -2\cdot(\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5})+Y-2Z=-8 \\ 7\cdot(\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5})+Y+Z=-1 \end{gathered}

3. If we simplify:

\begin{gathered} \frac{-9Y+12Z-63}{5}=-1 \\ \frac{9Y-12Z+18}{5}=-8 \end{gathered}

4. We can obtain Y from this two equations:

\begin{gathered} Y=-\frac{-12Z+58}{9} \\  \end{gathered}

5. Now, we need to obtain X(Z). We can replace Y in X(Y,Z)

\begin{gathered} X=\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5} \\ X=\frac{-9-2(-\frac{-12Z+58}{9})+Z}{5} \end{gathered}

6. If we simplify, we obtain:

X=\frac{-3Z+7}{9}

7. In conclusion, we obtain that

(X,Y,Z) =

(\frac{-3Z+7}{9},-\frac{-12Z+58}{9},Z)

The stock market dropped 220 points on Monday. It lost another 48 points on Tuesday, and on Wednesday it gained 96 points. What
Margaret [11]

48 points gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220 with 48, then add 96. Last step would be subtracting 220 with the amount they have now in those 3 days to find how much points the stock market gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220-48.It‘ll be 172.

Add 172 with 96. 172+96=268.

Subtract 268 with how much points the stock market had 3 days ago. 268-220. So it would be about 48 points gained.

The segments shown below could form a triangle.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem says that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. Let's see if this is true.

a + b

9 + 1 = 10>9

a + c

9 + 9 = 18>1

c + b

9 + 1 = 10>9
