Answer:

11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! The answer to this question is 11/12. In this case, we want to make the denominator the same. To make the denominator the same we need to find the lowest common multiple. In this case the lowest common multiple is 12, (because 12 is the smallest number that 3 and 4 are both factors for.) 4x3=12 so now the denominator in 5/4 is 12 but whatever we do the bottom we do to the top. So since we multiplied the bottom (denominator) by 3 we have to multiply the top (numerator) by 3 as well. 5x3=15. Therefore, we now changed 5/4 to 15/12. Now, we have to do the same to the 1/3. 3x4= 12. 1x4=4. Now we have the two numbers, 15/12 and 4/12. 15/12-4/12=11/12! Therefore, your answer is 11/12. Hope this explanation helps! Happy learning!

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

y = 1/2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

change f(x) to y

y = 2x - 10

then switch x and y

x = 2y - 10

then solve for y

add 10 to both sides and divide both sides by 2

Answer:

$36\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Since an equilateral triangle means that every side is equal, our triangle will have 12 on all sides.

To find the height of an equilateral triangle we use $\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .

$\frac{12\sqrt{3} }{2} = 6\sqrt{3}$ .

So the height is $6\sqrt{3}$ .

Now we have to solve 12 * $6\sqrt{3}$ ÷ 2.

$12 \cdot 6\sqrt{3} = 72\sqrt{3}$

$72\sqrt{3}\: \div\: 2 = 36\sqrt{3}$ .

Thus, the area of the triangle is $\boxed{36\sqrt{3}}$ .

Hope this helps!

An engineering firm designs a custom hexagonal screw for a computer board. A sketch of the top of the screw is below. To the nea

Sphinxa [80]

The area of the screw head is 93.5m².

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

The area of the hexagon can be illustrated based on the formula:

A = 3✓3/2 × a²

Base = 12.

Height = 3.

Area of each triangle = 0.5 × 12 × 3 = 18

Area of the rectangle = 12 × 6 = 72

Therefore the area of the screw head will be:

= 3√3/2 × 72

= 93.5m²
