Answer: -4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To add these two fractions together,

we start by finding their Least Common Denominator (LCD).

Since our denominators of 5 and 3 have no factors in common,

our least common denominator is 5 · 3 or 15.

In order to get a denominator of 15 in each fraction,

we multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by 3

and top and bottom of the second fraction by 5.

That gives us -9/15 + 5/15 which simplifies to -4/15.

As your last step, make sure that the fraction

that you end up with doesn't reduce.

In this case, -4/15 does not reduce but watch out for this last step.

Find the average rate of change of the function between the given values of x. y = 9+ 5x + 0.5x2 between x = 2 and x = 4.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The average rate of change is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the average rate of change of a function F(x) is:

$\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a}$

In this case, F(x) = $0.5x^{2} +5x+9$

a=2 and b=4

You have to evaluate x=2 (which is a in the formula) and x=4 (which is b in the formula) in the function.

In order to obtain F(b) and F(a) you have to replace x=4 and x=2 in the given function:

F(b) = $(0.5)4^{2} + 5(4) +9= 37$

F(a) = $(0.5)2^{2} + 5(2)+9=21$

$\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a} = \frac{37-21}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2} = 8$

The answer is 8.

Triangle ABC has the following properties: Angle A measures 120°; AB ≅ AC. What is the classification of triangle ABC by angles

Flura [38]

The answer is C <<<=====
It can't be anything else. It is not a right angle. A>90
It can't be acute because one angle is greater than 90.
It can't scalene because at least 2 of the angles (and 2 sides) are equal.
