The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)² -5 =0 , use the formula (a+b) ² = a²+b²+2ab
x²+9 +6x -5 =0 , combine like terms
x²+6x +4 =0, use the quadratic formula x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a
x= (-6 ±√6²-4*1*4)/2*1
x= (-6 ± √36-16) /2
x= (-6±√20)/2
x=(-6 +2√5)/2 and x=( -6-2√5) /2, factor 2 in the numerator and simplify
x= -3 +√5 and x= -3 -√5
The true question should be like this:
<span>What is the center and radius of the following circle: x^2 + (y _ 6)^2 = 50,
circle quation formula is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = R², so by identifying each term, we find </span>(x-a)^2=x^2 = (x-0)^2, (y-b)^2= (y _ 6)^2, R² = 50, implies R =5sqrt(2),
it is easy to identify that the center is (a,b)= (0, 6)
the radius is R =5sqrt(2),
The month of February has the smallest gain in average temperature over the previous month?????
Answer: 3
Explanation: Absolute value means <em>distance from zero</em> on a number line. So far the absolute value of 3, we know that 3 is 3 units from zero on a number line so the absolute value of 3 is 3.
