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.

How much money should be invested in an account that earns 8% interest compounded quarterly to yield $10,000 in 4 years? (Round

sweet [91]

Answer:

757,576cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount = $10000

Time = 4years

Rate = 8%

n = 1/4 year (compounded quarterly

Using the formula to get the principal

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

10000 = P(1+0.08/0.25)^4(1/4)

10000 = P(1+0.32)

10000= 1.32P

P = 10000/1.32

P = 7575.76

Hence he suppose to invest $7575.76 which is equivalent to 7575.76×100 cents i.e 757,576cents

Answer: " 2x (2x - 1) (x + 1) " .

______________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

______________________________________

Given:

f(x) = 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 ;

g(x) = 5x³ − 7x + 4 ;

______________________________________

What is: f(x) − g(x) ?

______________________________________

Plug in: " 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 " for: " f(x) " ;

and: " (5x³ − 7x + 4) " ; for: "g(x)" ;

______________________________________

→ " f(x) − g(x) =

" 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 − (5x³ − 7x + 4) " .

______________________________________

Rewrite this expression as:

→ " 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 − 1(5x³ − 7x + 4) " .

→ {since: " 1 " ; multiplied by "any value" ; is equal to that same value.}.

______________________________________

Now, let us example the following portion of the expression:

______________________________________

" − 1(5x³ − 7x + 4) "

_____________________________________

Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:

______________________________________

→ a(b + c) = ab + ac ;

______________________________________

Likewise:

→ a(b + c + d) = ab + ac + ad .

______________________________________

As such:

______________________________________

→ " − 1(5x³ − 7x + 4) " ;

______________________________________

= (-1 * 5x³) + (-1 * 7x) + (-1 * 4) ;

= - 5x³ + (-7x) + (-4) ;

= - 5x³ − 7x − 4 ;

_____________________________________

Now, add the "beginning portion of the expression" ; that is:

" f(x) " ; to the expression ; which is:

→ 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 ;

→ as follows:

_______________________________________

→ 9x³ + 2x² − 5x + 4 − 5x³ − 7x − 4 ;

→ {Note that the: " - " sign; that is;

the "negative sign", in the term: " -5x³ " ;

becomes a: " − " sign; that is; a "minus sign" .}.

______________________________________

Now, combine the "like terms" of this expression; as follows:

+ 9x³ − 5x³ = + 4x³ ;

− 5x − 7x = − 2x ;

+ 4 − 4 = 0 ;

______________________________________

and we have:

______________________________________

→ " 4x³ + 2x² − 2x ".

______________________________________

Now, to write this answer in "factored form" :

Note that among all 3 (three) terms in this expression, each term has a factor of "2" . The lowest coefficient among these 3 (three) terms is "2" ; so we can "factor out" a "2".

Also, each of the 3 (three) terms in this fraction is a coefficient to a variable. That variable takes the form of "x". The term in this expression with the variable, "x"; with the lowest degree has the variable: "x" (i.e. "x¹ = x" ) ; so we can "factor out a "2x" (rather than just the number, "2".).

So, by factoring out a "2x" ; take the first term [among the 3 (three) terms in the expression] —which is: "4x³ " .

2x * (?) = 4x³ ? ;'

↔ $\frac{4x^3}{2x} =$ ? ;

→ 4/2 = 2 ;

$\frac{x^{3}}{x} = \frac{x^3}{x^1} = x^{(3-1)} = x^{2}$ ;

As such: 2x * (2x²) = 4x³ ;

___________________________________________

Now, by factoring out a "2x" ; take the second term [among the 3 (three) terms in the expression] — which is: "2x² " .

2x * (?) = 2x² ? ;

↔ $\frac{2x^{2}}{2x} =$ ?

→ 2/2 = 1 ;

→ $\frac{x^{2}}{x} = \frac{x^2}{x^1}= x^{(2-1)} } = x^1 = x$ ;

As such: 2x * (x) = 2x²

__________________________________________

Now, by factoring out a "2x" ; take the third term [among the 3 (three) terms in the expression] — which is: " − 2x " .

2x * (?) = - 2x ;

↔ $\frac{-2x}{2x} =$ -1 ;

As such: 2x * (-1) = − 2x .

__________________________________________

So:

__________________________________________

Given the simplified expression:

→ " 4x³ + 2x² − 2x " ;

We can "factor out' a: " 2x " ; and write the this answer is: "factored form" ; as:

__________________________________________

"2x (2x² + x − 1 ) . "

Now, we can further factor the:

" (2x² + x − 1) " ; portion;

Note: "(2x² + x - 1)" =

2x² + 2x - 1x -1 = (2x -1) + x (2x - 1 ) =

(2x - 1) ( x + 1)

_______________________________________

Now, bring down the "2x" ; and write the Full "factored form" ; as follows:

_______________________________________

→ " 2x (2x - 1) (x + 1) " .

_______________________________________

Hope this helps!

Wishing you the best!

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The domain will be all real numbers, range will be all real numbers below -3

Step-by-step explanation:

its quadratic so it goes forever left and right. but the vertex has a y value of -3. It is a negative sloped graph, so anything below that is in the range
