Answer:

In order to out a fraction in lowest terms, you must divide by the Greatest Common Factor, or GCM, of the numerator and denominator in the fraction. Let's say we have the fraction 25/100. We know that the greastest common factor of 25 and 100 is 25, as 25 ÷ 25 = 1 and 100 ÷ 25 = 4 so 25/100 in lowest terms is 1/4:

25 25 1

___ ÷ ___ = ___

100 25 4

If the GCM of a fraction equals 1, the fraction is simplified. Because the only common factor of 1 and 4 is 1, we know this fraction is simplified.

1 1 1

__ ÷ ___ = ___

4 1 4

Which of the following functions shown in the table below is not an exponential function?

kramer

Answer:

B. f(x)

D. h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function will have a common ratio.

We check and see if the consecutive terms has a common ratio.

For f(x),

$\frac{5}{2} \ne \frac{10}{5}$

This is not an exponential sequence.

For g(x), we have:

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$

For h(x),

$\frac{1.25}{1} \ne \frac{1.5}{1.25}$

This is not an exponential sequence

For k(x),

$\frac{16}{64} = \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4} = \frac{0.25}{1}$

X + y = 0

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

x + y = 0 → (1)

5x + 3y = - 8 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting y from both sides

x = - y → (3)

Substitute x = - y into (2)

5(- y) + 3y = - 8, that is

- 5y + 3y = - 8

- 2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - y = - 4

Solution is (- 4, 4 ) → C
