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.

Find the derivative of y= 1 / x

givi [52]

Answer:

dy/dx = -1/ $x^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/x

dy/dx = d/dx(1/x)

=> dy/dx = d/dx( $x^{-1}$ )

=> dy/dx = - $x^{-2}$

=> dy/dx = -1/ $x^{2}$

I'm having trouble figuring out what the equation is for the trend line and what the slope is

Talja [164]

Answer:

The equation for the trend line would be y = -1/100x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the trend line, we first need to find the slope. To do so, we need to find two points on the line. The points we'll use are (0, 25) and (2500, 0). Next, we use the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0 - 25)/(2500 - 5)

m = -25/2500

m = -1/100

Now that we have this we can use the slope and the intercept in slope intercept form to model the trend line.

y = mx + b

y = -1/100x + 25

Steven, a tailor, got an order to make a blazer. The customer specifically asked him to save 5⁄6 of a foot of the given cloth to

xz_007 [3.2K]

To answer this question, we just need to subtract the saved cloth from the requested cloth:

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{5}{12}$

Since the fractions don't have the same denominator, we have to find the least common denominator. Luckily, since 6 goes into 12 twice, we can convert $\frac{5}{6}$ into $\frac{10}{12}$ :

$\frac{5}{6}( \frac{2}{2}) - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{10}{12} - \frac{5}{12}$

Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can subtract them:

$\frac{10}{12} - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$

The difference between the requested cloth and the saved cloth is 5/12 of a foot, or 0.4166'.
