This is because 2÷3 = 0 . Six repeating but the Calculator rounds the last 6 to 7 because I can't fit all the repeating sixes in one calculator

Your calculator rounds so 2/3 is really 0.66666... or 0.6 repeat

Solve for m. 7/10=r-(-8/5)
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

-9/10 =r

Step-by-step explanation:

7/10=r-(-8/5)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

7/10=r+(8/5)

Subtract 8/5 from each side

7/10 - 8/5=r+(8/5) - 8/5

7/10 - 8/5 = r

Get a common denominator

7/10 - 16/10 = r

-9/10 =r

dan is building a circular swimming pool and wants the circumference to be no more than 95 feet what is the largest radius possi
sleet_krkn [62]

The largest radius for the swimming pool is 15.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Circumference of the circular swimming pool built by Dan  = 95 feet

We need to determine the largest radius for the pool.

Step 2 :

Circle's circumference  is given by 2πr

Where r represents the radius

This shows that the radius is in direct proportion to the circumference. Hence the radius corresponding to the maximum circumference will be the largest possible radius

So we have 2πr = 95

=> r = \frac{95}{2\pi }  

=> r =   \frac{95}{2} × \frac{7}{22 }  where \pi  = \frac{22}{7}

=> r = 15.1 feet (rounded off to tenth of a foot)

Step 3 :

The largest radius for the swimming pool is 15.1 feet

(1) What is the equation, in point-slope form, for a line that goes through (8, −4) and has a slope of negative 5/6 (all fractio
Andreyy89
Formula for point-slope: y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the values (1): y + 4 =  -\frac{5}{6} (x - 8)  {Choice B}
Plug in the values (2): y + 6 =  \frac{1}{3}(x+ 2)  {Choice C}
_______________________

[For (3) and (4) we need to solve for slope]

(3)
First, solve for slope.
Formula for slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
Plug in values: \frac{-1-5}{-4-7} = - \frac{6}{11}
Slope: - \frac{6}{11}
Second, we must plug into point-slope form. 
Formula for point-slope: y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the values: y + 1 = - \frac{6}{11}(x + 4)   {Choice C}


(4)
First, solve for slope.
Formula for slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
Plug in values: \frac{6-(-8)}{-4-7} = - \frac{14}{11}
Slope: - \frac{14}{11}
Second, we must plug into point-slope form. 
Formula for point-slope: y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the values: y - 6 = - \frac{14}{11}(x + 4)   {Choice D}

Given equations A and B as 2/5x+y=12 and 5/2y-x=6 respectively which expression will eliminate the variable X a) 5/2A+2/5B b)5/2
frutty [35]

Answer:

C) A+\frac{2}{5}B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equations:

A) \frac{2}{5}x+y=12

B) \frac{5}{2}y-x=6

In order to eliminate x we need to multiply \frac{2}{5} to equation B and add it to A.

Multiplying \frac{2}{5} to B.

⇒ \frac{2}{5}\times (\frac{5}{2}y-x)=\frac{2}{5}\times 6

⇒ (\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{5}{2}y)-(\frac{2}{5}x)=\frac{12}{5}

⇒ y-\frac{2}{5}x=\frac{12}{5}

Adding it equation A.

   \frac{2}{5}x+y=12

+ -\frac{2}{5}x+y=\frac{12}{5}

We get 2y=\frac{72}{5}

Thus x is eliminated.

So, the expression used to eliminate x is:

A+\frac{2}{5}B
