Answer: 1 1/2
Explanation: the first number of the division problem stays the same but you flip the second fraction witch is 1/2 then that will be 2/1 then change the division symbol into a multiplication symbol and 3/4 times 2/1 and that equals6/4 and 6/4 is divisible by two so you divide 6/4 x 2. That equals 3/2 and you had to make that a mixed number so you divide two and 33 on the inside of the house and two on the outside. Two goes into threewants and when is your whole number and your remainder is one and one is your numerator and two is your denominator. You might understand it better if you see my work which a photo of it is down below.

Determine the most precise name for ABCD (parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, or square). Explain how you determined your answer.

Sonja [21]

<h3>Answer: Rhombus</h3>

======================================================

Reason:

Let's find the distance from A to B. This is equivalent to finding the length of segment AB. I'll use the distance formula.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (7,6)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-7)^2 + (5-6)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{17}\\\\d \approx 4.1231\\\\$

Segment AB is exactly $\sqrt{17}$ units long, which is approximately 4.1231 units.

If you were to repeat similar steps for the other sides (BC, CD and AD) you should find that all four sides are the same length. Because of this fact, we have a rhombus.

-------------------------

Let's see if this rhombus is a square or not. We'll need to see if the adjacent sides are perpendicular. For that we'll need the slope.

Let's find the slope of AB.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2,y_2) = (7,6)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{6 - 5}{7 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

Segment AB has a slope of 1/4.

Do the same for BC

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (7,6) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (6,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 6}{6 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{-4}{-1}\\\\m = 4\\\\$

Unfortunately the two slopes of 1/4 and 4 are not negative reciprocals of one another. One slope has to be negative while the other is positive, if we wanted perpendicular lines. Also recall that perpendicular slopes must multiply to -1.

We don't have perpendicular lines, so the interior angles are not 90 degrees each.

Therefore, this figure is not a rectangle and by extension it's not a square either.

The best description for this figure is a <u>rhombus</u>.

Harry is trying to solve the equation 0 = 2x2 − x − 6 using the quadratic formula. He has made an error in one of the steps belo

bija089 [108]

<h3><u>Given</u> - </h3>

➙ a quadratic equation in which Harry lagged due to an error made by him, 2x² - x - 6= 0

<h3><u>To solve</u> - </h3>

➙ the given quadratic equation.

<h3><u>Concept applied</u> - </h3>

➙ We will apply the quadratic formula as given in the question. So, let's study about quadratic equation first because we are supposed to apply the formula in equation.

What is quadratic equation?

➙ A quadratic equation in the variable x is an equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers, a ≠ 0.

Now, what is quadratic formula?

➙The roots of a quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0 are given by $\sf{\:\frac{-b \pm\: \sqrt {b ^ 2 - 4ac}}{2a}}$ provided b - 4ac ≥ 0.

<h3><u>Solution</u> - </h3>

here as per the given quadratic equation,

a = 2, b = -1 and c = -6

putting in the formula,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-(-1) \pm\: \sqrt {(-1)^2 - 4(2)(-6)}}{2(2)}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {1+48}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {49}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: 7}{4}}$

Solving one by one,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 + \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{8}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=2}}}$

________________

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 - \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-6}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=\frac{-3}{2}}}}$

________________________________

<em><u>Note</u> - Hey dear user!! You haven't provided the solution which was solved by Harry (A.T.Q). Please go through the solution as it will help you to find the error done by Harry.</em>

Hope it helps!! (:
