First we have to get the LCM of 8 and 6, which is 24. so the fractions with be Maria 9/24 and Nina 12/24. therefore Nina are more
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
Arc of 30 cm
10% reduction after each swing
Generally sum of geometric sequence is given by the equation

Mathematically solving for total distance traveled we have


Therefore the total distance traveled by the pendulum after 5 swings

The directrix of the parabola is 
<h3>How to determine the equation of the directrix?</h3>
The parabola equation is given as:

A parabola is represented as:

By comparing both equations, we have:
4p = 1/4 ==> p = 1/16
-k= 3 ==> k = -3
The directrix is represented as:
y = k - p
So, we have:

Take the LCM

Evaluate

Hence, the directrix of the parabola is

Answer:
A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.
C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.
