Answer: -4/15

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

we start by finding their <em>Least Common Denominator</em> (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.

In AEFG, F = 61 inches, ZF=79º and ZG=34°. Find the length of g, to the nearest<br> 10th of an inch.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

g ≈ 34.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines is useful for this:

f/sin(F) = g/sin(G)

Multiplying by sin(G), we have ...

g = f·sin(G)/sin(F) = (61 in)·sin(34°)/sin(79°)

g ≈ 34.7 in

What are the solution(s) of x2-4-0?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

For $x^2 - 4 = 0$ , x = 2, or x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

$x^2 - 4 = 0$

Now, using the ALGEBRAIC IDENTITY:

$a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)$

Comparing this with the above expression, we get

$x^2 - 4 = 0 = x^2 - (2)^2 = 0\\\implies (x-2)(x+2) = 0$

⇒Either (x-2) = 0 , or ( x + 2) = 0

So, if ( x- 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2

and if ( x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = -2

Hence, for $x^2 - 4 = 0$ , x = 2, or x = - 2.

A manager must select three coders from her group to write three different software projects. There are 7 junior and 3 senior co

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The total number of ways are 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 7 junior and 3 senior coders in her group.

The first project can be written by any of the coders. The second project must be written by a senior person and the third project must be written by a junior person.

For second project we have 3 choices and for third project we have 7 choices.

Now there are 2 possible case:

Case I: If first and second coder is senior, then the total number of ways are:

$3\times 2\times 7=42$

Case II: If first and third coder is junior, then the total number of ways are:

$7\times 3\times 6=126$

Hence, the total number of ways are: 42+126=168
