Answer:

Shona ran farther

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 *3/3 is 9/12 and 9/12 is bigger than 7/12

Answer:

Shona

Step-by-step explanation:

Both fractions have different denominators. To get a better picture of who ran further, let's have both fractions have the same denominator.

Let's convert the smaller denominator to the bigger one.

In order to do this, we will multiply top and bottom by 3:

$\frac{3}{4} *\frac{3}{3} \\\frac{9}{12}$

Now, we compare the two fractions by seeing which numerator is closer to denominator.

From this comparison, the converted fraction, $\frac{9}{12}$ is closer to 12.

Therefore, Shona ran further.

Answer:

The answer is "0.1190".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\to \frac{2}{3} -x +\frac{1}{6} = 6x\\\\\to \frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{6} = 6x+x\\\\\to \frac{4+1}{6} = 7x\\\\\to \frac{5}{6} = 7x\\\\\to x=\frac{5}{6\times 7} \\\\\to x=\frac{5}{42}\\ \\\to x= 0.1190$

Answer:

2(3x + 7)(2x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see it a little easier if you take out a common factor of 2

2(6x^2 + 11x - 7)

The 6 leaves you with a lot of factors, the 7 does not. It only has 2 factors.

Let 6 factor into 2 and 3 and the 7 into 7 and 1

2(3x - 1 )(2x + 7)

Now remove the brackets.

2(6x^2 + 21x - 2x - 7) This obviously does not work but we'll combine like terms anyway.

2(6x^2 + 19x - 7)

So we'll try it again

2(3x + 7)(2x - 1)

2(6x^2 + 14x - 3x - 7) Looks like we have it.

2(6x^2 + 11x - 7)

So the right factors are

2(3x + 7)(2x - 1)

Explain why the function y=1-cosx is an even function

Oksanka [162]

A function is said to even if it returns the same output when given two opposite inputs:

$f(x) = f(-x)$

In your case, you have

$f(x) = 1-\cos(x), \quad f(-x) = 1-\cos(-x)$

And since $\cos(x) = \cos(-x)$ , the proof is concluded.
