Answer:

1/4 = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 5/12

Least common multiple of 3 and 12 is 12. Convert 2/3 and 5/12 to fractions with denominator 12.

8/12 - 5/12

Since 8/12 and 5/12 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

8-5/12

Subtract 5 from 8 to get 3.

3/12

Reduce the fraction 3/12 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

1/4

In triangle XYZ, angle Y = 45º and angle Z = 60º. If XZ = 4, then what is XY?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

XY = 4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

XZ= 4

\angle Y = 45

\angle Z = 60

Required

Determine the measure of side XY

To do this, we make use of sine law. This is as follows:

\frac{a}{\sin\ A} = \frac{b}{\sin\ B} = \frac{c}{\sin\ C}

In this case:

\frac{4}{\sin(45)} = \frac{XY}{\sin(60)}

Cross Multiply

XY * \sin(45) = 4 * \sin(60)

XY * 0.7071 = 4 * 0.8660

Make XY the subject

XY = \frac{4 * 0.8660}{0.7071}

XY = \frac{3.4640}{0.7071}

XY = 4.89888276057

XY = 4.9 -- <em>approximated</em>

The maximum height of a vehicle that can safely pass under a bridge is 12 feet 5 inches. A truck measures 162 inches in height.
Nutka1998 [239]
It would not pass under the bridge because ig you divide 162 by 12 it would equal 13.5

Find the equation of the line through (8,−6) which is perpendicular to the line y=x3−7.
ycow [4]

Answer:

y = (-1/3)(x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the new (perpendicular) line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, which appears to be 3.  Thus, the perpendicular line has the slope -1/3.

Using the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, and substituting the givens, we obtain:

y = mx + b    =>    -6 = (-1/3)(8) + b, or

-6 = -8/3 + b.  We must solve for the y-intercept, b:

Multiplying all three terms by 3 removes the fraction:

-18 = -8 + 3b.  Thus, -10 = 3b, and so b must be -10/3.

The desired equation is    

y = (-1/3)x - 10/3, or

y = (-1/3)(x + 10)
