Can the division expression 4÷15 be shown as a fraction explain

A ball is dropped from a height of 36 feet. At each bounce the ball reaches a height that is three quarters of the previous heig

iVinArrow [24]

Before it rebounds n times we have the inequality

36 (3/4)^n < 1

(3/4)^n < 1/36

n ln 3/4 < ln 1/36

n < ln 1/36 / ln 3/4

n < 12.46

so n = 12

answer is 12 bounces

Find the perimeter of quadrilateral PQRS with the vertices P(2,4), Q(2,3), R(-2,-2), and S(-2,3).

storchak [24]

Answer:

$P=16.53\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of quadrilateral PQRS is equal to the sum of its four length sides

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

the vertices P(2,4), Q(2,3), R(-2,-2), and S(-2,3)

step 1

Find the distance PQ

P(2,4), Q(2,3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{1}$

$dPQ=1\ unit$

step 2

Find the distance QR

Q(2,3), R(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$dQR=\sqrt{41}\ units$

step 3

Find the distance RS

R(-2,-2), and S(-2,3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3+2)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dRS=5\ units$

step 4

Find the distance PS

P(2,4), S(-2,3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$dPS=\sqrt{17}\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=PQ+QR+RS+PS$

substitute the values

$P=1+\sqrt{41}+5+\sqrt{17}$

$P=6+\sqrt{41}+\sqrt{17}$

$P=16.53\ units$

Consider the basis B of R2 consisting of vectors

adelina 88 [10]

The idea is to find a linear combination a_1(5, -6) + a_2(-2, -2) = (-6, 2) It boils down to a system of equations: Take the augmented matrix:

[5−6−2−2−62] Reduced form: [1001−8111311] -(8/11)*(5, -6) + (13/11)*(-2, -2) = (-6, 2)

Can anyone please help me with this? i need a step by step explanation please! very appreciated:)

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are variables. That means they represent numbers that are unknown. When we solve for x or y, we are trying to find what number the variable represents.

Y is a number that equals both 5x-9 and 3x+7. If it is a number, it can only have one value, so we can say that 5x-9 and 3x+7 have the same value.

In other words, 5x-9 = 3x+7.

Another way of thinking about this step is substitution. y=3x+7, so in the equation y=5x-9, we can replace the y with 3x+7. It will give 3x+7 = 5x-9.

In either case, we have this new equation

5x-9 = 3x+7.

From here it's just simple algebra- subtract 3x from each side

2x -9 = 7

and add 9 to each side

2x = 16

and divide each side by 2.

x = 8.

All these steps work because if two things equal each other, when you do the same thing to both of them (such as add 9), the new values will still equal each other.

Now that we know that x = 8, we can take one of the original equations

y=5x-9

and put 8 in for x.

y=5*(8) -9.

If x represents the value 8, we can obviously switch out x for 8.

Now simplify

y=40 -9

y = 31

Now we know that x = 8 and y = 31.
