X=any number
x is( greater than sign) (and then a line at the bottom of the greater or less than sign) x
it would be like this
x is greater than or equal to x
or
x is less than or equal to x
Remember that you can always multiply or divide BOTH the numerator and denominator
of the fraction by anything you want to. You just have to do exactly the same to both of
them.
The way to simplify a fraction is to divide both the numerator and denominator by their
greatest common factor.
Do you see all of those 'x's on the top and bottom ? The top and bottom can
both be divided by x-cubed.
<u>Numerator:</u>
Divide (-4³) by x³, and you have (-4) left.
<u>Denominator:</u>
Divide (x³ - 2x⁴) by x³, and you have (1 - 2x) left.
So, the simplified fraction is [ -4 / (1 - 2x) ].
That's a perfectly good answer, but you could make it look a little prettier
if you multiply the top and bottom both by -1 . Then it would be
4 / (2x - 1) .
Either one is fine.
Answer:
300 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance equation is D = RT
Where
D is the distance
R is the rate
T is the time
<u>Mindy</u>
8 am to 1 pm = 5 hours
<u>Kelly</u>
8 am to 2 pm = 6 hours
Kelly's rate is 10 mph SLOWER than mindy, so if we let Mindy's rate be "m", so Kelly's rate will be " m - 10 "
Now using the distance equation, we can write:
Mindy >>> D = RT >>> D = 5m
Kelly >>> D = RT >>> D = 6(m-10) >>> D = 6m - 60
Since both the distances are equal, we can write:
5m = 6m - 60
m = 60
We want the distance, we know:
D = 5m
D = 5(60)
D = 300 miles
The distance is 300 miles
Answer:
8 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a trapezoid. The area of it is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the distance between them.
Your figure shows the base lengths to be 5 and 3, and their separation to be 2. Filling the numbers in the formula, we have ...
A = (1/2)(5 +3)(2) = (1/2)(8)(2) = 4·2 = 8
The area of the figure is 8 square units.
_____
The right-pointing arrows on the horizontal lines identify those lines as being parallel. The right-angle indicator and the 2 next to the dotted line indicate the perpendicular distance between the parallel lines is 2 units.
