Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the two fractions, we can immediately tell that the first is over 1 and the other is not one. However, if we wanted to see how much greater 6/5 is compared to 2/3, then we could find the common denominator and then subtract the 2/3 from the 6/5.

6/5 - 2/3

18/15 - 10/15

8/15.

This can't be simplified.

Thus, 6/5 is 8/15 greater than 2/3.

Hope that this helped and everything works out. You can do this same method with any two fractions if your not sure if one is greater than, equal to, or less than any other number and what the difference is between them.

What is the sum of the first seven terms of the geometric series 2 - 10 +50 -...?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

26042.

Step-by-step explanation:

What's the first term of this geometric series?

2.

What's the common ratio of this geometric series?

Divide one of the terms with the previous term. For example, divide the second term -10 with the first term 2.

$\displaystyle r = \frac{-10}{2} = -5$ .

What's the sum of this series to the seventh term?

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is:

$\displaystyle a_1 \cdot \frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}$ ,

where

$a_1$ is the first term of the series,
$r$ is the common ratio of the series, and
$n$ is the number of terms in this series.

$\displaystyle 2 \times\frac{1- (-5)^{7}}{1- (-5)}=26,042$ .

The value of a certain car decreases by 16% each year. What is the 1⁄2-life of the car?

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The half life of the car is 3.98 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the car after t years is given by the following equation:

$V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}$

In which V(0) is the initial value and r is the constant decay rate, as a decimal.

The value of a certain car decreases by 16% each year.

This means that $r = 0.16$

So

$V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}$

$V(t) = V(0)(1-0.16)^{t}$

$V(t) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}$

What is the 1⁄2-life of the car?

This is t for which V(t) = 0.5V(0). So

$V(t) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}$

$0.5V(0) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}$

$(0.84)^{t} = 0.5$

$\log{(0.84)^{t}} = \log{0.5}$

$t\log{0.84} = \log{0.5}$

$t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.84}}$

$t = 3.98$

The half life of the car is 3.98 years.

(x+1)^2+(x-1)^2-2x(x+2)=0

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

$(x+1)^2+(x-1)^2-2x(x+2)=0$
$x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 - 2x + 1 -2x^2 -4x = 0$
$(x^2 + x^2-2x^2) + (2x-2x-4x)+(1+1)=0$
$-4x + 2 = 0$

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

$-4x + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2$
$-4x = -2$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

$\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{-2}{-4}$
$x = \frac{1}{2}$
