The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.
Answer:
(y − 9) (y − 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor y^2 − 11y + 18 using the AC method.
(y − 9) (y − 2)
The “AC” method or factoring by grouping is a technique used to factor trinomials. A trinomial is a mathematical expression that consists of three terms.
Suppose that the exponential growth function is y = 4^x.
If x = 1, then y = 4^1 = 4.
If x = 3, then y = 4^3 = 64.
Let the initial value be 1/2.
The growth function is now y = 1/2 * 4^x.
If x =1, then y = 2 which is half of the y value before adding the 1/2.
If x = 3, then y = 1/2 * 64 = 32.
Answer: 1/2
1: answer: 4^6 ( reduce the fraction with 4^3)
2: answer: 1 ( any nonzero expression raised to the power of 0 equals 1 )
3: answer 3^8
steps: (3^2)^4 = 3^2×4 ( to raise a power to another Power multiply the exponents)
3^2×4 = 3^8 ( multiply the 2 and the 4 exponent to get a 8 as a exponent )
Beck add like terms so you get
4x^2 -4x-15
lucy factor our negative so you left with -4x^2 +5x -10 +8x^2 -9x -5
simplify 4x^2 -4x -15
therefore both students answers simplify to 4x^2 -4x -15
