For #3, you just have to plug in the numbers for x.
It tells you what to substitute for x in the question. (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6)
For example, let's substitute 0 for x.
6x - x² (the 2 means square the number, or multiply it by itself)
6(0) - (0)²
0 - 0
= 0.
You'll do that to all the numbers (1-6) and fill out the table.
For #4, you have to solve using the distributive property to find out if the equations on both sides are equal.
I'll do the first one for you.
6a - 8 = 2 (3a - 5)
6a - 8 = 6a - 10
They're not equal.
A. Which reduction should she use so the picture fills as much of the frame as possible, without being too large?
Find the scale factor to get rom 7 1/3 inches to 5 1/3 inches:
5 1/3 / 7 1/3 = 0.7272
Now rewrite the fraction as decimals:
2/3 = 0.667
¾ = 0.75
5/9 = 0.555
The closest scale that would still fit the frame would be 2/3 because it is under 0.727.
B. How much extra space is there in the frame when she uses the reduction from Part A?
Multiply the original size by the scale factor to use:
7 1/3 x 2/3 = 4 8/9
Now subtract the scaled size from the original size:
7 1/3 – 4 8/9 = 2 4/9 inches extra
C. If she had a machine that could reduce by any amount, so that she could make the reduced picture fit in the frame exactly, what fraction would the reduction be?
Convert the scale from part A to a fraction:
0.72 = 72/99 which reduces to 8/11
Answer:
4.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the height of the taller brother be x
And, the height of the shorter brother be y
Now according to the question
x + y = 10.33
x - y = 0.833
Now solve these two equations
2x = 11.666
x = 5.833
y = 10.33 - 5.83
= 4.5 ft
Answer:
It is 1 unit to the right of 0.
