Why is the quotient of three divided by one-fifth different from the quotient of one-fifth divided by three? Hello my child needs help with this question could someone help

Answers

Answer 1

Solution

We want to get why

[tex]\frac{3}{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}\text{ is different from }\frac{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}{3}[/tex]

Reason 1: Commutation Law Does Not Hold For Division (or quotient)

Generally,

[tex]\frac{a}{b}\ne\frac{b}{a}[/tex]

Reason 2: Actual Computation

First

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}=3\div\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{3}{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}=3\times\frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \frac{3}{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Secondly

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}{3}=\frac{1}{5}\div3 \\ \\ \frac{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}{3}=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}{3}=\frac{1}{15} \end{gathered}[/tex]

It is now obvious that

[tex]\frac{3}{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}\ne\frac{\text{ \lparen1/5\rparen}}{3}[/tex]

2.2.18Find the vertex of the graph of the quadratic function. Determine whether thegraph opens upward or downward, find the y-intercept, and sketch the graph.f(x) = - x2 - 2x+3The vertex is(Simplify your answer. Type an ordered pair.)

Answers

The quadratic function is given by the following expression:

[tex]f(x)=-x^2-2x+3[/tex]

The direction at which the graph opens is determined by the signal of the number multiplying x². If the number is positive then the graph opens upwards, if it is negative it opens downward. In this case it is negative so it opens donward.

The vertex of a quadratic expression can be found by the following expression:

[tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

Where a is the number multiplying "x²", while b is the number multiplying "x". Applying the data from the problem we have:

[tex]x=\frac{-(-2)}{2\cdot(-1)}=\frac{2}{-2}=-1[/tex]

To find the value of "y" for the vertex we need to apply the coordinate for x on the expression. We have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-1)=-(-1)^2-2\cdot(-1)+3 \\ f(-1)=-1+2+3=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,4).

To sketch a graph we need to find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the function. These are given when f(x) = 0 and x=0 respectively. Let's find these points.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=-x^2-2x+3 \\ -x^2-2x+3=0 \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt[]{(-2)^2-4(-1)(3)}}{2\cdot1} \\ x_1=-3 \\ x_2=1 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]f(x)=-0^2-2\cdot0+3=3[/tex]

The x intercept happens in two points -3 and 1, while the y intercept happens in the point 3. With this and the vertex we can sketch the function.

Need to find out how to solve 4/p=11/2

Answers

To solve the equation for p, we can first apply the cross product method, that is, we multiply the numerator and denominator that each line of the "X" connects.

Then, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{p}=\frac{11}{2} \\ 4\cdot2=11\cdot p \\ 8=11p \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we divide by 11 from both sides of the equation:

Determining whether a relation is a function on a graph is relatively easy by using the vertical line test. If a vertical line crosses the relation on the graph only once in all locations, the relation is a function. However, if a vertical line crosses the relation more than once, the relation is not a function

Answer:

  fails the vertical line test: not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know how to tell if a relation is a function or not.

Relation

A relation is a map between values of the independent variable (input, x) and values of the dependent variable (output, y). Such a map can be represented many ways, including a table, graph, set of ordered pairs, dual number lines, or even a diagram showing inputs and outputs. The attachment shows such a diagram.

A relation does not need to be between numbers. Tokens of any kind can be used for input and output identifiers.

Function

A function is a relation in which each input corresponds (maps) to exactly one output.

The relation shown on the left of the attachment is not a function because the first (top) input item (A) maps to more than one output item (B).

When a relation is expressed as ordered pairs (x, y) or a table, it will be a function if and only if no x-value is repeated.

When a relation is expressed as a graph, it will be a function if and only if no vertical line intersects more than one point on the graph. (This is the "vertical line test.")

Rhianna is baking a cake and some cookies for a party. She used 4 1/2 cups of flour for the cake. For each tray of cookies, she needs 2 1/2 cups of flour. She decides to use at least 15 cups of flour for the cake and the cookies.Assuming she can make fractional trays of cookies, how many trays, x, can she make?

Answers

The first step is to find how many cups of flour she has left to bake the cookies after baking the cake. To do it, substract the amount of flour she needs for the cake to the total amount of flour she decided to use.

[tex]15-(4+\frac{1}{2})=15-4.5=10.5[/tex]

She has 10.5 cups of flour to bake the cookies. To find how many tray of cookies, solve the following equation for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (2+\frac{1}{2})x=10.5 \\ (2.5)x=10.5 \\ x=\frac{10.5}{2.5} \\ x=\frac{21}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

She can make 21/5 trays of cookies. Written as a mixed number it is 4 1/5, it means she can make 4 1/5 or less trays of cookies.

The volume of a cone is given as:

Answers

The least expensive house in the 100,000 range, given the stem and lead plot on house sale prices, is $120, 000.

How to find the house sale price?

The stem and leaf plot on the house sale prices is given such that the stem is in hundreds of thousands and the leaf is in ten thousands.

This means that if you have a stem of 0 and a leaf of 2, the house price is:

= 0 + 20,000

= $20,000

A stem of 3 and a leaf of 4 means the house price is:

= 300,000 + 40,000

= $340,000

The cheapest house in the 100,000 range is the leaf value of 2 which means the least expensive house is:
= 100,000 + 20,000

= $120,000

What is the sum of fractions?

When adding two fractions with the same denominator (lower number), just add the numerator (upper number) and leave the denominator unchanged if the fractions are like. To add fractions with different denominators, you must rewrite the fractions so that they have a common denominator before computing the sum.

The first step is to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.This LCM will become the lowest common denominator (LCD) for the fractions.Then, rewrite each fraction by multiplying both the numerator and denominator to a number so you can get LCM as the denominator.Now add the numerators leaving denominators unchanged.

For the given case,

The length of the pendant including the silver border is

(5/8)+ (1/3) = (15+8)/24

= 23/24 inch

The width of the pendant including the silver border is

(1/2) + (1/3) = (3 + 2)/6

= 5/6 inch

A polygon will be dilated on a coordinate grid to create a smaller polygon. The polygon is dilated usi Xthe origin as the center of dilation.Which rule could represent this dilation?

Answers

The rule for a dilation by a factor of k using the origin as the center of dilation, is:

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(kx,ky)[/tex]

In the options A and B, additions and substractions are involved. Then, they cannot be the rule of a dilation about the origin.

In the options C and D, we can see that both are dilations about the origin. The factor used in the option C is 5/4, while the factor used in the option D is 0.9.

Nevertheless, notice that 5/4 is greater than 1 and 0.9 is smaller than 1.

Then, the dilation from option C would produce a bigger polygon, while the dilation from option D will produce a smaller polygon.

Since the polygon must be a smaller one, then the rule that could represent this dilation is:

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(0.9x,0.9y)[/tex]

Which corresponds to option D.

12 = 4+xb

12-4 = xb
