Answer:

3 3/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/6-2 1/3

We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:

33/6-7/3

Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:

33/6-14/6

Now we can subtract the numerators.

19/6

To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.

HTH :)

How do you identify the information that is given to you that you dont need for solving a problem?
Alborosie
When reading a question, you need to be aware of the numbers presented and the facts. You need to pay attention to the question - what, when, where, how, why or how much. What is being asked in the question is always your clue. Unnecessary information will be eliminated once you understand the question.

Simple example from a Business book:

Jessica Fernandez, manager of Subway, had a bank balance of $5382.12 on March 1. During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. She paid out $27,282.75 to suppliers, $4280.83 for rent and utilities, and $12,252.23 for salaries and miscellaneous. How much did Fernandez deposit in March?

Answer:
$60,375.82 (sales) + $3280.18 (credits) + $75.53 (refund) = $63,731.53
Fernandez deposit $63,731.53 in March.

The question immediately lead you to the sentence that is the key to the answer.
It is pretty obvious but try to recognize the important facts from the rest.
The question did not ask about Jessica's balance on March 1 or did not ask about how much she pay out. You can immediately eliminate that those information are not necessary to the problem being asked. The question is how much did she deposit in March. You need to find the sentence that points out the answer - During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. List all the numbers and add them together and you will come up with the figures she deposited. It is just a simple question but it presented the technique for the elimination process of unnecessary facts. It is not "we cannot see the answer" but the truth is we cannot see and understand the question.

In a rational function, is the horizontal shift represented by the vertical asymptote?
ziro4ka [17]
<h3>Short Answer: Yes, the horizontal shift is represented by the vertical asymptote</h3>

A bit of further explanation:

The parent function is y = 1/x which is a hyperbola that has a vertical asymptote overlapping the y axis perfectly. Its vertical asymptote is x = 0 as we cannot divide by zero. If x = 0 then 1/0 is undefined.

Shifting the function h units to the right (h is some positive number), then we end up with 1/(x-h) and we see that x = h leads to the denominator being zero. So the vertical asymptote is x = h

For example, if we shifted the parent function 2 units to the right then we have 1/x turn into 1/(x-2). The vertical asymptote goes from x = 0 to x = 2. This shows how the vertical asymptote is very closely related to the horizontal shifting.

Los lados de un triángulo rectángulo tienen por medida tres números enteros consecutivos. Calcula los lados del triángulo.
elixir [45]

Answer:

Los lados del triángulo rectángulo miden 3, 4 y 5, respectivamente.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un triángulo rectángulo puede ser descrito mediante el teorema de Pitágoras, para el caso de tres lados representando tres números enteros consecutivos, tenemos que:

(n+2)^{2} = n^{2} + (n+1)^{2} (1)

Donde n es un número natural.

A continuación, expandimos la expresión y resolvemos:

n^{2}+4\cdot n +4 = n^{2} + n^{2} +2\cdot n + 1

n^{2}-2\cdot n -3 = 0

(n -3) \cdot (n+1) = 0

La única solución factible es n = 3. En consecuencia, los lados del triángulo rectángulo miden 3, 4 y 5, respectivamente.
