Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.

5 = 5/1

Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.

5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2

***This can be reduced to 5/1***

Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.

5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3

***This can also be reduced to 5/1***

If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.

They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.

A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.

I hope this helps.

a stone dropped into a still pond sends out a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 3.3 ft/s. how rapidly

Softa [21]

In 139.4 $\pi$ $ft^2$ sec rapidly is area of enclosed by the ripple increasing at the end of 6.4 seconds.

What is area of circle?

For measuring the area occupied by a circular field or plot, use the area of a circle formula. The area formula will allow us to determine how much fabric is required to completely cover a circular table, for example. We can determine the boundary length, or the circle's circumference, using the area formula.

Here area of circle

=> A= π $r^2$ --------> 1

Differentiating 1 with respect to to time then

=> $\frac{dA}{dt}= 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

If the radius is increasing at a constant rate 3.3ft/sec then after 6.4 seconds, radius is

=> 6.4*3.3=21.12 ft.

We know $\frac{dr}{dt}= \frac{3.3ft}{sec}$ and so ,

=> $\frac{dA}{dt}$ = 2* $\pi$ *21.12*3.3=139.4 $\pi$ $ft^2$ sec.

Hence In 139.4 $\pi$ $ft^2$ sec rapidly is area of enclosed by the ripple increasing at the end of 6.4 seconds.

The length of the red line segment is 10, and the length of the blue line segment is 6. How long is the transverse axis

OverLord2011 [107]

Subtract the two lengths:

10 - 6 = 4

The transverse axis = 4

NEED HELP ASAP: Let f(x)=x2−6x+13 . What is the vertex form of f(x)? What is the minimum value of f(x)? Enter your answers i

Svetach [21]

The vertex form of $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$
$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$

where: $h=\dfrac{-b}{2a};\ k=f(h)$

We have: $f(x)=x^2-6x+13\to a=1;\ b=-6;\ c=13$

substitute:
$h=\dfrac{-(-6)}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{6}{2}=3\\\\k=f(3)=3^2-6\cdot3+13=9-18+13=4$
The vertex form of f(x):
$f(x)=(x-3)^2+4$
The value of minimum is equal k.
Therefore: $y_{min}=4$
