Answer: 1 / 126

Explanation:

To subtract fractions with differen denominators you must convert to equivalent fractions with the same denominator.

The best practice is to convert to fractions with the least common denominator.

Given that 8/36 is not the simplest form, you can start to simplify it, by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4:

8/36 = 2/9

Now find the least common denominator of 9 and 14. That is found by decomposing the numbers and taking the product of  the common and not common prime  factors each raised to the its greates power.

  9 = (3^2)
14 = (2)(7)

Therefore the least common denominator is: (2)(3^2)(7) = 126

So, convert both fractions to the equivalent fraction with denominator 126:

2 * 14           28
---------- =  ----------
9 * 14         126

 3 * 9        27
-------- = --------
14 * 9      126

Now you subtract the two fractions with the same denominator:

  28        27         1
------ -  ------- = -------
126      126       126

Answer: 1/126

So for the rhombus to carry onto itself, it needs to start in one position and end up in that same position. In this case, (x,y) will need to end up on (x,y) after the reflections are done. Here what the options do:

A: y-axis, x-axis, y-axis

(x,y) -> (-x,y) -> (-x,-y) -> (x,-y)

B: x-axis, y-axis, y-axis

(x,y) -> (x,-y) -> (-x,-y) -> (x,-y)

C: y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis

(x,y) -> (y,x) -> (y,-x) -> (-x,y) -> (x,y)

D: x-axis, y=x, x-axis, y=x

(x,y) -> (x,-y) -> (-y,x) -> (-y,-x) -> (-x,-y)

The only option that starts as (x,y) and ends as (x,y) is C: y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis, therefore making that the correct answer.

Approximate the area under the
taurus [48]

Split up the interval [0, 3] into 3 equally spaced subintervals of length \Delta x = \frac{3-0}3 = 1. So we have the partition

[0, 1] U [1, 2] U [2, 3]

The left endpoint of the i-th subinterval is

\ell_i = i - 1

where i\in\{1,2,3\}.

Then the area is given by the definite integral and approximated by the left-hand Riemann sum

\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x) \, dx \approx \sum_{i=1}^3 f(\ell_i) \Delta x \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~ = \sum_{i=1}^3 (i-1)^3 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~ = \sum_{i=0}^2 i^3 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~ = 0^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 = \boxed{9}
