Answer:

Subtract: 5/8 - 1/6 = 5 · 3/8 · 3 - 1 · 4/6 · 4 = 15/24 - 4/24 = 15 - 4/24 = 11/24

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(8, 6) = 24. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 6 = 48. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In other words - five eighths minus one sixth = eleven twenty-fourths.

Suppose y varies directly with x. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Then find the value of y when x = 7.

Sonja [21]

For direct variation, y = kx
8 = -4k
k = 8/-4 = -2

Therefore, required equation is y = -2x

when x = 7, y = -2(7) = -14

The graph of an inverse trigonometric function passes through the point (1, pi/2). Which of the following could be the equation

rodikova [14]

Answer: C) $y=sin^-1 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the graph of an inverse trigonometric function will pass through the point $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ ,

If this point satisfies the function,

For the function $y=cos^{-1} x$

If x = 1

$y=cos^{-1}1=0$

Thus, $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ is not satisfying function $y=cos^{-1} x$ ,

⇒ The graph of $y=cos^{-1} x$ is not passing through the point $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$

For the function $y=cot^{-1}x$

If x = 1

$y=cot^{-1}1=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Thus, $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ is not satisfying function $y=cot^{-1}x$ ,

⇒ The graph of $y=cot^{-1}x$ is not passing through the point $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$

For the function $y=sin^{-1} x$

If x = 1

$y=sin^{-1}1=\frac{\pi}{2}$

Thus, $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ is satisfying function $y=sin^{-1} x$ ,

⇒ The graph of $y=sin^{-1} x$ is passing through the point $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ .

For the function $y=tan^{-1}x$

If x = 1

$y=tan^{-1}1=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Thus, $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ is not satisfying function $y=cos^{-1} x$ ,

⇒ The graph of $y=tan^{-1} x$ is not passing through the point $(1,\frac{\pi}{2})$ .

Hence, Option C is correct.

A system consists of two independent components in parallel. The system works if at least one of the components works. If each c

12345 [234]

Answer:

The probability that the system works is 87.75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a system consists of two independent components in parallel, and the system works if at least one of the components works, if each component works with probability 0.65, to determine what is the probability that the system works the following calculation must be performed:

1 - 0.65 = 0.35

0.35 x 0.35 = X

0.1225 = X

1 - 0.1225 = 0.8775

Therefore, the probability that the system works is 87.75%.
