The equation can be rewritten as x = -2/3 y, so x/y = -2/3
However, for y=0, the ratio is undefined as you would be dividing by 0??
Answer:
the third option
Step-by-step explanation:
what does that mean ?
to "rationalize" it is to transform it into a rational number (that is a number that can be described as a/b, and is not an endless sequence of digits after the decimal point without a repeating pattern).
a square root of a not square number is irrational (not rational).
so, what this question is asking us to get rid of the square root part in the denominator (the bottom part).
for this we need to multiply to and bottom with the same expression (to keep the whole value of the quotient the same) that, when multiplied at the bottom, eliminates the square root.
what can I multiply a square root with to eliminate the square root ? the square root again - we are squaring the square root.
so, what works for 9 - sqrt(14) as factor ?
we cannot just square this as
(9- sqrt(14))² = 81 -2sqrt(14) + 14
we still have the square root included.
but remember the little trick :
(a+b)(a-b) = a² - b²
without any mixed elements.
so, we need to multiply (9-sqrt(14)) by (9+sqrt(14)) to get
81-14 = 67 which is a rational number.
therefore, the third answer option is correct.
Joe : x
jim : y
x+y=16
y=1.50+x
x + 1.50 + x = 16
2x = 14.5
x = 7.25
7.25 + y = 16
y= 8.75
Joe : $7.25
Jim : $8.75
Answer:
1) 5
2) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
(3²⁷)(5¹⁰)(z) = (5⁸)(9¹⁴)(
)
Now,
on simplifying the above equation
⇒ (3²⁷)(5¹⁰)(z) = (5⁸)((3²)¹⁴)()
or
⇒ (3²⁷)(5¹⁰)(z) = (5⁸)(3²⁸)()
or
⇒ 
or
⇒
or
⇒
we can say
x = 5, y = 2 and, z = 3
Now,
(1) y is prime
since, 2 is a prime number,
we can have
x = 5
2) x is prime
since 5 is also a prime number
therefore,
x = 5
Answer:
The reuired probability is 0.756
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of trucks be 'N'
1) Trucks on interstate highway N'= 76% of N =0.76N
2) Truck on intra-state highway N''= 24% of N = 0.24N
i) Number of trucks flagged on intrastate highway = 3.4% of N'' = 
ii) Number of trucks flagged on interstate highway = 0.7% of N' = 
Part a)
The probability that the truck is an interstate truck and is not flagged for safety is 
where
is the probability that the truck chosen is on interstate
is the probability that the truck chosen on interstate is flagged
