Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the next number be x

'taking half the number to get the next number. is expressed as;

1/2 of 16 = x

x = 1/2 *16

x = 16/2

x = 8

hence the next number will be 8

Answer:

  -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

    12  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           7

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       1           7

 (0 -  —) +  (0 -  —)

       3           4

Step  2  :

           1

Simplify   —

           3

Equation at the end of step  2  :

       1     -7

 (0 -  —) +  ——

       3     4

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       3

     The right denominator is :       4

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor   Left

Denominator   Right

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

3 1 0 1

2 0 2 2

Product of all

Prime Factors  3 4 12

     Least Common Multiple:

     12

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 4

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 3

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      -1 • 4

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      -7 • 3

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

-1 • 4 + -7 • 3     -25

———————————————  =  ———

      12            12

Final result :

 -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

 12

I NEED HELP WITH THESE TWO QUESTIONS PLZ DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN THE ANSWER
Murljashka [212]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. asymptotes: x=-6, x=6, y=0; zero: x=0

  2. 20 blue fish

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The vertical asymptotes are where the denominator is zero. It factors as (x-6)(x+6), so will have zeros at x=-6 and x=6.

The horizontal asymptote is at the limit when x goes to infinity. Here, the ratio of highest-degree terms is 6/x, so the value goes to zero as x gets large.

The zero is where the numerator is zero, at x=0.

In summary:

  • vertical asymptotes: x = ±6
  • horizontal asymptote: y = 0
  • zero: (0, 0)

__

2. 60% are red, so 40% are blue. The difference in percentages is 60%-40% = 20%. The percentage of blue fish (40%) is twice the difference (=2×20%), so the number of blue fish is twice the difference in numbers.

  blue fish = 2×10 = 20 fish

<em><u>Check</u></em>

There are then 20+10=30 red fish, so 20+30=50 fish total. Reds are 30/50 = 60% of the total.

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>

I find it often works well to work with ratios, which I can often do in my head. Other folks like to see equations. Here, we could write equations like ...

  r = 60%(r + b) . . . . reds are 60% of the total

  r - b = 10 . . . . . . . . 10 more reds than blues

We want the value of b, so we can eliminate r by substituting for it:

  r = 10 + b . . . . from the second equation above

  (10 +b) = 0.60((10 +b) + b) . . . . substitute for r

  10 +b = 6 + 1.2b . . . simplify

  4 = 0.2b . . . . subtract b+6

  20 = b . . . . . . multiply by 5 (there are 20 blue fish)
