Andre says that 1/4 is less than -3/4 because, of the two numbers, 1/4 is closer to 0. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Andre is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Andre is wrong because 1/4 is a positive number and -3/4 is a negative number so that makes Andre wrong for that, but if it is who is closer to 0 then Andre is right because when you look at it on a table you can see that 1/4 is closer.

A container in the shape of a square-based prism has a volume of 2744 cm'. What dimensions give the
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The dimensions that give the minimum surface area are:

Length = 14cm

width = 14cm

height = 14cm

And the minimum surface is:

S = 1,176 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular rectangular prism has the measures: length L, width W and height H.

The volume of this prism is:

V = L*W*H

The surface of this prism is:

S = 2*(L*W + H*L + H*W)

If the base of the prism is a square, then we have L = W

Then the equations become:

V = L*L*H = L^2*H

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*H*L)

We know that the volume of the figure is 2744 cm^3

Then:

V = 2744 cm^3 = H*(L^2)

In this equation, we can isolate H.

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2)

Now we can replace this on the surface equation:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L* (2744 cm^3)/(L^2))

S = 2*L^2 + 4(2744 cm^3)/L

Now we want to minimize the surface area, then we need to find the zeros of the first derivative of S.

S' = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

This is equal to zero when:

0 = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

0 = 4*L*L^2 - 4*(2744 cm^3)

4*(2744 cm^3) = 4*L^3

2744 cm^3 = L^3

∛(2744 cm^3) = L = 14cm

Then the length of the base that minimizes the surface is L = 14.

Then we have:

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2) = (2744 cm^3)/(14cm)^2 = 14cm

Then the surface is:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L*H) = 2*( (14cm)^2 + 2*(14cm)*(14cm)) = 1,176 cm^2

What is<br> is 1/4 + 9/10y -3/5y +7/8 written in simplest form?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{9}{10}y - \frac{3}{5}y+\frac{7}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3}{5}y\\\\

Combine like terms. 1/4 and 7/8 are like terms and LCD of 4 and 8 is 8

9/10y and -3/5y are like terms and LCD of 10 , 5 is 10

= \frac{1*2}{4*2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3*2}{5*2}y\\\\=\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{6}{10}y\\\\=\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{10}y

Rational numbers with distribute property
Svetradugi [14.3K]

I'm not sure what this means. If you have choices you should list them.

(1/2)*(1/4 + 1/6) is an example of what should be given. There are two ways to solve this.

1. Use the distributive property.

1/2*1/4 + 1/2* 1/6

1/8 + 1/12 Which can be added using the LCD of 24

3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24

Method 2

Add what is inside the brackets first.

1/2 ( 1/4 + 1/6)

1/2(3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12

Now multiply by 1/2

1/2(5/12) = 5*1/(12 * 2) = 5 / 24 Same answer.

When comparing the functions using the equation, which conclusion can be made?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

  domain of f(x) is x ≤ 0; domain of f^-1(x) is x ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root function will always give a positive value, so the opposite of the square root function will give non-≤positive values. That means ...

  • the domain of f(x) is restricted to non-positive values
  • the domain of the inverse function is restricted to values of x that make the root be of a non-negative number: x ≥ 4

The domain of f(x) is x ≤ 0; the domain of f^-1(x) is x ≥ 4.
