Maggie studied for 2/5 of an
hour. Julie studied for 1/4 of an
hour. How much longer did
Maggie study?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 3/20

Concept:

When encountering questions that ask for [how much longer A comparing to B], the basic operation would be the value of A subtracted by the value of B.

Solve:

Given information

Maggie study time = 2/5 hours

Julie study time = 1/4 hours

Given expression deducted from the concept

Maggie (study time) - Julie (study time)

Substitute values into the expression

2/5 - 1/4

Find the denominators' Least Common Multiple (LCM)

First five multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

First five multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Since [20] is the first term that appears in both multiples, it would be the LCM of 4 and 5

Convert the fractions to common denominator

2/5 = (2 × 4) / (5 × 4) = 8 / 20

1/4 = (1 × 5) / (4 × 5) = 5 / 20

Simplify by subtraction

=8/20 - 5/20

=(8 - 5) / 20

=[tex]\boxed{\frac{3}{20} }[/tex]

Given directed line segment JL below, find the coordinates of K such
that the ratio of JK to JL is 7:8. Plot point K.

Answers

The coordinate of JK is (-1.7, -0.3)

The coordinate of the points that divides the line segment in the given ratio is calculated as:

[tex](x, y) = (\frac{ax_1 +bx_2}{a+b} , \frac{ay_1 +by_2}{a + b} )[/tex]

where;

a:b = 7:8

From the image;

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 5) and,

(x₂, y₂) = (2, -5)

Substitute the given points in the equation above to calculate the coordinates of JK.

[tex](x, y) = (\frac{7(-6)+8(2)}{7+8} , \frac{7(5) +8(-5)}{7+8} )\\\\(x, y) = (\frac{-26}{15} , \frac{-5}{15} )\\\\(x,y) = (-1.7, -0.3)[/tex]

Thus, the coordinate of JK = (-1.7, -0.3)

what is the average rate of change from 2 to 9 of the function represented by the graph?

Answers

Answer:

-3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

It is asking to find the slope of the secant line going through points (2,f(2)) and (9,f(9)).

We must find f(2) by looking at the curve at x=2. We should see that y=2 there so f(2)=2.

We must find f(9) by looking at the curve at x=9. We should see that y=-1 there so f(9)=-1.

The slope of a line is calculated by finding the ratio of the change of y to the change of x.

Which equation is equivalent to the law of cosines?

B

a2=c2−2cx+x2+h2


C

a2=c−x2+h2


D

a2=c2−x2+h2

Answers

Answer:

I believe the answer is B. a^2 = c^2 - 2cx + x^2 + h^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines states: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2bc * cos(C). If we plug in the values from the diagram, we'll have (c-x)^2 = a^2 + h^2 -2ah * cos(90)

cos(90) = 0, so now we have just (c-x)^2 = a^2 + h^2

Let's expand this to c^2 -2cx + x^2 = a^2 + h^2

Isolate a^2 and we now have a^2 = c^2 -2cx + x^2 + h^2

Answers

[tex] {x}^{2} - 17x - 60 \\ (x + 3)(x - 20)[/tex]

First we put parentheses and in each bracket we put (X) and then we put the signs x² is positive and the 17X before it is a negative q is positive with negative —> negative, and negative before 17X and negative before the 60 —> positive. And then the number that does not have (x) where did it come from, for example 60 came from 20 x 3 or 30 x 2...etc. We can verify this by multiplying the parentheses together and the same number comes out .

Or it can be checked by multiplying the first bracket 3 with x from the second parenthesis comes out 3X and negative 20 from the second parenthesis with X from the first parenthesis and subtract 3X from –20xcomes out –17X .

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + 8^2 = 10 ^2

a^2 +64 = 100

a^2 = 100 -64

a^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(36)

a = 6

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (9, 12) and passes through the origin.

Answers

Answer:  [tex](x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 225\\\\[/tex]

This is the same as writing (x-9)^2 + (x-12)^2 = 225

========================================================

Explanation:

Any circle equation fits the template of [tex](x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\[/tex]

The center is (9,12) which tells us the values of h and k in that exact order.

h = 9

k = 12

To find the radius r, we need to find the distance from the center (9,12) to a point on the circle. The only point we know on the circle is the origin (0,0).

Apply the distance formula to find the distance from (9,12) to (0,0)

[tex]d = \sqrt{ (x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (9-0)^2+(12-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (9)^2+(12)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 81+144}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 225}\\\\d = 15\\\\[/tex]

The distance from (9,12) to (0,0) is 15 units. Therefore, r = 15

An alternative to finding this r value is to apply the pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is effectively a modified version of the pythagorean theorem.

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

Since h = 9, k = 12 and r = 15, we can then say:

[tex](x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 15^2\\\\(x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 225\\\\[/tex]

which is the equation of this circle.

Your answer should be C :-)

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

(7×2)⁶

when we put a number to the power of something, we need to include the whole number. bit just a part of it.

so, it must be 7⁶×2⁶

just think about the simple example 6², which we could write as (2×3)².

would it be sufficient to e.g. square only one of the factors ?

6² = 36

but e.g. 2×3² = 18. so, that's really not it.

or add the two factors and then square them ?

2+3 = 5. 5² = 25. so, that's not it either.

or multiply the exponent in ?

2×3×2 = 12. so that's not it either.

no, it truly is you need to do the operation to all parts.

2²×3² = 4×9 = 36. yes, that fits.

therefore, B is the right answer.

Point V is on line segment UW. Given VW = 5x - 4, UV = 2x, and UW = 5x, determine the numerical length of VW

Answers

Answer:

VW = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, set up the following equation:

(5x - 4) + (2x) = 5x

Solve out left side

7x - 4 = 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Plug into 5x - 4

Suppose a right triangle has a
hypotenuse length of 12. If one of
the legs has length 5, what would
the length of the last leg be?

Answers

Answer:

See the last two lines below. I don't know which one you want.

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = 12

One leg        = 5

other leg =      x            Substitute into a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x ^2 + 5^2 = 12^2

x^2 + 25 = 144              Subtract 25 from both sides

x^2 = 144 - 25              Combine

x^2 = 119                      Take the square root of both sides

x = sqrt(119)

x = 10.91
