Answer:

1/8 is less than 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Alright so the first thing we need to do here is make the bottom part of both fraction (the denominator) the same number.

To do this we need to find the GCF of the denominators (Greatest common factor of 8 and 6)

So basically what does 8 and 6 both go into equally and what do we need to multiply by to get there.

In this case 16 is a good number. Since 8 goes into 16 as well 6 goes into 18.

But what we need to multiply by is different.

For the 8 we need to multiply both numbers in the fraction by 2 to get to 16.

Like so:

1/8

1 x 2

8 x 2

=

2/18

Now we can do the same thing for the fraction but instead use 3 because you need to multiply 6 x 3 to find 18.

Like so :

5/6

5 x 3

6 x 3

=

15/18

So now we have two fractions that have the same bottom number and now we can just go off the numerators (top number) and see which one is larger.

So 1/8 = 2/18

So 5/6 = 15/18

So going off that you can see 2/18 is less than 15/18 and conclude that 1/8 is less than 5/6.

I hope this helps!

If you have any questions or concerns do message me or comment!

The function h(x) = x2 + 14x + 41 represents a parabola. Part A: Rewrite the function in vertex form by completing the square. S
denpristay [2]
Given the function h(x)=x^2+14x+41, to solve by completing square we procced as follows;
x^2+14x+41=0
x^2+14x=-41
but;
c=(b/2)^2
and b=14
hence;
c=(14/2)^2=49
substituting the value of c in the expression we get:
x^2+14x+49=-41+49
x^2+14x+49=8
(x+7)^2=8
this can be written in vertex form;
h(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(h,k) is the vertex;
thus
(x+7)^2=8
h(x)=(x+7)^2-8
hence the vertex will be at the point:
(-7,-8)
