How does 1-3/8 = 5/8?

Mathematics
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 is also known as 8/8, because anything that has all the parts to it is a whole.

Meaning, we can change this equation into 8/8-3/8, which makes it much easier.

With that, if you subtract the numerators, 8-3,  you get 5. In other words, you are subtracting three "pieces" from the eight "pieces". You end up with 5 of the original 8 "pieces", or 5/8.

Which zero pair could be added to the function f(x)=x^2+12x+6 so that the function can be written in vertex form?
andrew11 [14]
<span>f(x) = x</span>² <span>+ 12x + 6  </span>→ y = x² + 12x + 6<span>

Let us convert the standard form into vertex form.

1) Complete the squares. Isolate x</span>² and x terms.
<span>y - 6 = x</span>² + 12x
<span>
2) Create the perfect square trinomial. Whatever number is added on one side must also be added on the other side. 

y - 6 + 36 = x</span>² + 12x + 36<span>
y + 30 = (x + 6)</span>²
<span>y = (x + 6)</span>² - 30  ← Vertex form
<span>
To check:

y = (x + 6) (x + 6) - 30
y = x</span>² + 6x + 6x + 36 - 30
<span>y = x</span>² + 12x + 6<span>

The zero that could be added to the given function is 36, -36</span>

Charlie used these steps to solve the equation 6x+5=1+2(3x+2)6x+5=1+23x+2. Which choice describes the meaning of his result, 5
zaharov [31]
We have that
<span>[6x+5]=1+2*(3x+2)
[6x+5]=1+2*3x+2 --------> is not correct ------->1+ 2*(3x+2)=1+2*3x+2*2 

then 
</span>[6x+5]=1+6x+4---------------> [6x+5]=[6x+5] 

<span>this equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.</span>

amid [387]
The radius of circle C is also 3 times greater than the radius of circle D.
The area of circle C:
A C = (3r)² π = 9 r² π
The area of circle D:
A D = r² π
9 r² π : r ² π = 9
Answer: It is 9 times the area of circle D.
