Answer:

1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12 ≅ 0.4166667

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 1/4+1/6=1*3/4*3+1*2/6*2=3/12+2/12=3+2/12=5/12

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(4, 6) = 12. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 4 × 6 = 24. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - one quarter plus one sixth = five twelfths.

What are the vertical and horizontal asymptote of f(x)=2x/x-1
makvit [3.9K]
F(x)=2x/(x-1)

Denominator cannot be equal 0.
x-1=0
x=1  is vertical asymptote.

To find horizontal asymptote
we need divide the coefficients before x
y=2x/x=2,because when x becomes really big (x---->∞) , value of 1 will not influence the result .
 y=2 is horizontal asymptote

How to solve -4{1-2x}-1=7x
mina [271]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(1-2x)-1=7x\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-4)(1)+(-4)(-2x)-1=7x\\\\-4+8x-1=7x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\8x+(-4-1)=7x\\\\8x-5=7x\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\8x-5+5=7x+5\\\\8x=7x+5\qquad\text{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-7x=7x-7x+5\\\\x=5

Cheetahs are the fastest animals on four legs. They are capable of running at two different speeds. In a sprint, they can run 74
Umnica [9.8K]

sprints:  1/8 of 74 1/2 = 74.5 divided by 8=9.3125

Hunts:  3/4 of 57 3/4= 57.75 divided by .75=77

9.3125 + 77=86.3125        86.3125 divided by 2= 43.156 mph average speed

Solve with interval notation Solve: 5 | x − 2 | + 4 &gt; 8
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

x<6/5, x>14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps

$5\left|x-2\right|+4>8$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$5\left|x-2\right|+4-4>8-4$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5\left|x-2\right|>4$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$

$\frac{5\left|x-2\right|}{5}>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$\left|x-2\right|>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:>\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:<\:-a\:\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:u\:>\:a$

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x-2>\frac{4}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x<\frac{6}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2>\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x>\frac{14}{5}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:intervals}$

$x<\frac{6}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x>\frac{14}{5}$
