Step-by-step explanation:

bring both fractions to the same denominator (bottom number). then we can readily compare our add or subtract them.

what is the snaked common multiple of 2 and 3 (the smallest number that can be divided without remainder by both numbers)?

it is 6 (in case of doubt simply multiply both numbers and use the result as common denominator).

so, we need to bring both to fractions in the form .../6.

2/3 = 4/6

1/2 = 3/6

so,

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

and that is the answer to the original question.

Consider the system of equations. y = 3x + 2 y = − 2 3 x − 4 Explain why these particular equations can be graphed immedia

inessss [21]

Answer:

These equations are in slope-intercept form. I can use the y-intercept and slope to graph both lines. I plot the y-intercept and use rise over run to locate another point on the line. Then, I can draw a line through the two points.

Please help me with this please

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the tower when finished.

We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.

This means that 5/8 of x equals 2 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.

5/8*x=2 and 1/2

Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

5/8*x=5/2

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.

8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5

x=8/2

x=4

Solve this identifying holes, vertical asymptotes, and horizontal asymptotes for

USPshnik [31]

$x^2+7x+12=x^2+4x+3x+12=x(x+4)+3(x+4)=(x+4)(x+3)\\\\-x^2-3x+4=-(x^2+3x-4)=-(x^2+4x-x-4)\\\\=-[x(x+4)-1(x+4)]=-(x+4)(x-1)\\\\f(x)=\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{-x^2-3x+4}=\dfrac{(x+4)(x+3)}{-(x+4)(x-1)}\\\\\text{Vertical asymptotes:}\\\\(x+4)(x-1)=0\iff x+4=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\\boxed{x=-4\ and\ x=1}\\\\\text{Horizontal asymptotes:}$

$\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{-x^2-3x+4}=\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2\left(1+\dfrac{7}{x}+\dfrac{12}{x^2}\right)}{x^2\left(-1-\dfrac{3}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2}\right)}=\dfrac{1}{-1}=-1\\\\\boxed{y=-1}$
