Answer:

Let the three numbers be x, y and z.

Sum of the numbers is 98.

x + y + z = 98………………(i)

The ratio of the first to the second is 2/3.

x/y = 2/3.

x = 2/3 × y.

x = 2y/3.

The ratio of the second to the third is 5/8.

y/z = 5/8.

z/y = 8/5.

z = 8/5 × y.

z = 8y/5.

Put the value of x = 2y/3 and z = 8y/5 in (i).

2y/3 + y + 8y/5 = 98

49y/15 = 98.

49y = 98 × 15.

49y = 1470.

y = 1470/49.

y = 30 .

Therefore, the second number is 30.

Answer: (c)

5. What is the importance of axioms? Describe what happens if it is missing
marta [7]

Answer:

Axioms are important to get right, because all of mathematics rests on them. If there are too few axioms, you can prove very little and mathematics would not be very interesting. If there are too many axioms, you can prove almost anything, and mathematics would also not be interesting...

Given g(x) = x square -7x + 1over4 show that the least possible value of g(x) is -12
aliina [53]

Answer:

-\frac{45}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=\frac{x^{2} -7x+1}{4}

Take the derivate of g:

g'(x)=\frac{x-7}{4}

Find x that:

g'(x)=0

<h2>solving:</h2>

\frac{2x-7}{4}=0\\x=\frac{7}{2}

This x give the least possible value that are g(7/2):

g(\frac{7}{2}) =-\frac{45}{16}
