-1/2 + 4/9

Mathematics
1 answer:
stira [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

-1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change both fractions to have like denominators. The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18.

Second, you have to multiply -1/2 by 9/9 to get a denominator of 18. -1/2 x 9/9 is - 9/18.

Third, you have to multiply 4/9 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 18. 4/9 x 2/2 = 8/18.

Fourth, -9/18 + 8/18 = -1/18

Hope this helps!

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?
Sati [7]

Let x,y be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

x-y=2 (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

xy=224 (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce x=y+2

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

y=-16,\quad y=14

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}

An instructional video is 4.2 minutes long. How long is the video in seconds? How long is it in hours?
valkas [14]
First we convert it in seconds.

Number of seconds in 1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore,
Number of seconds in 4.2 minutes = 4.2 x 60 = 252 seconds.

Next we convert it in hours.

60 minutes make up an hour. So we can write,
Number of hours in 60 minutes = 1 hour
Number of hours in 1 minute = 1/60 hour
Number of hours in 4.2 minutes = 1/60 x 4.2 = 0.07 hour


Therefore, the video is 252 seconds or 0.07 hour long.

Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2
