Answer:

A mixed number is a fraction just with a whole number such as 1, 2, 3, and on. A regular fraction would be 5/10 and you can make that irregular so we can say if it was 15/10 then thats still a fraction but its improper and in order to make it proper you must make it a mixed number.

If any of this made sense then i hope i helped.

Answer:

It is similar because you have to always have the same numerator in adding or subtracting fractions. Adding fractions and subtracting mixed numbers is different because when u have a  mixed number you have to simplify it to its lowest terms to make it easy to tell if it's a whole number or mixed.

example: 2 1/2 + 3/2= 4 now u know its a whole number but as a mixed number that would be 8/2

The volume of a rectangular prism is (x{3} – 3x{2} + 5x – 3), and the area of its base is (x{2} – 2). If the volume of a rectang
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

x³ - 3x² + 5x - 3 / x² - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

volume of a rectangular prism = x³ - 3x² + 5x - 3

base area of a rectangular prism = x² - 2

Formula for the volume of prism

V = BA x H

here BA is base area

         H is height

Formula for the height of prism

H = V / BA

plug values in the formula

x³ - 3x² + 5x - 3 / x² - 2

We will do long division

           x - 1

          ----------------------------

x² - 2 | x³ - 3x² + 5x - 3

           x³ - 2x²

           ---------------------------

                 -x² + 5x - 3

                 -x²         + 2

                  ----------------------

                         5x - 5  

The remainder indicates that x³ - 3x² + 5x - 3 is not divisible by x² - 2, and that means that you cannot find the exact height.

A periscope is 5 feet above the surface of the ocean. Through it can be seen a ship that rises to 50 feet above the water. To th
Lyrx [107]
<span> Sketch this, assuming the Earth is a sphere with radius R, so a plane slice through the periscope, ship and center of the Earth is a circle of radius R. Draw the lines out from the center (O) of the circle to point A at the top of the periscope and point B at the top of the ship. so that line AB is tangent to the circle at point C. That makes triangles OAC and OBC right triangles, each having the right angle at C. </span>

<span>From the problem, the lengths OA = R+5, OC = R, and OB=R+50. Label the lengths AC = p and BC= q, then use Pythagoras: </span>

<span>R² + p² = (R + 5)² </span>
<span>R² + q² = (R + 50)² </span>

<span>Solve those: </span>
<span>p² = (R + 5)² - R² = 10R - 25 </span>
<span>p = √(10R + 25) </span>

<span>q² = (R + 50)² - R² = 100R + 2500 </span>
<span>q = √(100R + 2500) </span>

<span>Find a good value for the radius R (in ft. units!) and calculate. The distance from periscope top to ship top is (p + q) feet. Convert that to miles for your answer.</span>
