Answer:

There is a difference between FRACTION and PROPORTION.

Explanation of fraction:

On a card board sheet draw a square or rectangle or any simple shape of your choice. Divide your preferred shape into 4 equal parts. One portion or one part of the divided shape is 1/4. Three (3 ) parts of the divided shape equal 3/4. Also if the shape is divided into twenty (20). One (1) part is 1/20, sixteen(16) parts equal 16/20.

Explanation of Proportion:

If an item is shared in a proportion of 3:4,it means that A gets 3/(3+4) of what is to be shared , that is 3/7 of the bulk item to be shared. B gets 4/(3+4) of what is to be shared, that is 4/7 of the bulk item to be shared.

Also if an item is shared in a proportion of 16:20 , A gets 16/(16+20)=16/36 of Bulk item while B gets 20/(16+20)= 20/36 of the Bulk item being shared.

In effect Fractions and Proportions are related but different.

  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtraction Property of Equality<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

x + 6 = 2(x + 3) - x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add <em>x</em> on both sides:                                     2x + 6 = 2(x + 3)
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute 2:                                                                 2x + 6 = 2x + 6

Here we see that both sides are identical.

∴ our solution is all real numbers.

Use the number line below to find a fraction that is equivalent to 1/2
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of fractions equal to 1/2, but the number line in the question has 8 spaces, and shows 1 divided into 8 pieces. Therefore, the answer to this question is likely 4/8.

(may I ask why exactly this is put as a college level problem?)

Ques 8:

The Volume(V) in cubic feet of an aquarium id modeled by the polynomial function V(x)= x^{3}+2x^{2}-13x+10

a) We have to explain that why x =4 is not a possible rational zero.

By Factor theorem, which states that a polynomial f(x) has a factor (x - k) if and only if f(k)=0.

For this , we will substitute the value of x in the given function.

V(x)=x^{3}+2x^{2}-13x+10

V(4)=4^{3}+2(4)^{2}-13(4)+10

V(4)=4^{3}+2(4)^{2}-13(4)+10

V(4)=54 which is not equal to zero.

Therefore, x=4 is not a possible rational zero.

(b) To show that (x-1) is a factor of V(x).

By Factor theorem, which states that a polynomial f(x) has a factor (x - k) if and only if f(k)=0.

Let (x-1)=0

So, x=1.

Substituting x=1 in the given function.

V(1)=1^{3}+2(1)^{2}-13(1)+10

V(1)= -10+10

V(1) = 0

Therefore, (x-1) is a factor of V(x).

Now we will factorize the given function.

Dividing the given function by (x-1).

On dividing, we get quotient as x^{2}+3x-10

So, factored form is = (x-1)(x^{2}+3x-10)

= (x-1)(x^{2}+5x-2x-10)

= (x-1)(x(x+5)-2(x+5))

=(x-1)(x+5)(x-2)

(c) So, the dimensions are 1,2 and -5.

What is the equation of a line that passes through (7,8) and has a slope of -3
Komok [63]
It is helpful to first plug this in to point-slope form (note that there are other ways to do this).

Using the form y-y_1 = m(x-x_1), you get y-8=-3(x-7). You can simplify this to get y = -3x+29.
