Write the first five digits of 1/7 in base 9 expression

Compare 1/7 to consecutive multiples of 1/9. This is easily done by converting the fractions to a common denominator of LCM(7, 9) = 63:

1/9 = 7/63

2/9 = 14/63

while

1/7 = 9/63

Then 1/7 falls between 1/9 and 2/9, so 1/7 = 1/9 plus some remainder. In particular,

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/63.

We do the same sort of comparison with the remainder 2/63 and multiples of 1/9² = 1/81. We have LCM(63, 9²) = 567, and

1/9² = 7/567

2/9² = 14/567

3/9² = 21/567

while

2/63 = 18/567

Then

2/63 = 2/9² + 4/567

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 4/567

Compare 4/567 with multiples of 1/9³ = 1/729. LCM(567, 9³) = 5103, and

1/9³ = 7/5103

2/9³ = 14/5103

3/9³ = 21/5103

4/9³ = 28/5103

5/9³ = 35/5103

6/9³ = 42/5103

while

4/567 = 36/5103

so that

4/567 = 5/9³ + 1/5103

and so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/5103

Next, LCM(5103, 9⁴) = 45927, and

1/9⁴ = 7/45927

2/9⁴ = 14/45927

while

1/5103 = 9/45927

Then

1/5103 = 1/9⁴ + 2/45927

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/45927

One last time: LCM(45927, 9⁵) = 413343, and

1/9⁵ = 7/413343

2/9⁵ = 14/413343

3/9⁵ = 21/413343

while

2/45927 = 18/413343

Then

2/45927 = 2/9⁵ + remainder

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/9⁵ + remainder

Then the base 9 expansion of 1/7 is

0.12512..._9

NEED HELP Find values for a, b, c, and d so that the following matrix product equals the 2X2 identity matrix. Explain or show ho
ehidna [41]

We want to find the values of a, b, c, and d such that the given matrix product is equal to a 2x2 identity matrix. We will solve a system of equations to find:

  • b = 1
  • a = -1
  • c = -2
  • d = -1

<h3>Presenting the equation:</h3>

Basically, we want to solve:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&2\\a&1\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cc}b&c\\1&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

The matrix product will be:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}-b + 2&-c + 2d\\a*b + 1&a*c + d\end{array}\right]

Then we must have:

-b + 2 = 1

This means that:

b = 2 - 1 = 1

  • b = 1

We also need to have:

a*b + 1 = 0

we know the value of b, so we just have:

a*1 + b = 0

  • a = -1

Now the two remaining equations are:

-c + 2d = 0

a*c + d = 1

Replacing the value of a we get:

-c + 2d = 0

-c + d = 1

Isolating c in the first equation we get:

c = 2d

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

-(2d) + d = 1

-d = 1

  • d = -1

Then:

c  = 2d = 2*(-1) = -2

  • c = -2

So the values are:

  • b = 1
  • a = -1
  • c = -2
  • d = -1

What is the equaiton of the line that goes through the point (6,-1) and is parallel to the line represented by the equautions y=
mixas84 [53]

parallel lines have the same slope


The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"


They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3


You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6


So far we have y=-5/6x + b

We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"


Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get

-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b

-1 = -5 +b

4 = b

b = 4


We found b, or the y-intercept


Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found


y = -5/6x + 4
