How do I multiply a fraction and a whole number? Please explain step by step to get marked

Answers

Answer 1

Any whole number can be written as a fraction. All we do is place the number over 1.

For example, the whole number 7 is the same as the fraction 7/1.

If we wanted to multiply the whole number 7 with the fraction 2/3 then...

[tex]7 * \frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{7}{1} * \frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{7*2}{1*3}\\\\\frac{14}{3}\\\\[/tex]

In the jump from the second step to the third step, we multiply straight across. The numerators multiply together. The denominators multiply together. The fraction 14/3 cannot be reduced because 14 and 3 don't have any factors in common other than 1.

The length of a pool is twice its width. What is the ratio of the length to the width of the pool?

Answers

Answer:

2:1 OR as a fraction, 2/1

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the actual length or width of this pool, like we don't know a number, as in exactly how many feet or meters long or wide this pool is. For this question, we don't need to know. "Twice" means 2 times. So if we consider the width (which we don't know) and call it w, then the length, (which we also don't know) which is two times as long, would be 2w

Width = w

Length = 2w

Ratio of Length to Width is

2w:w or as a fraction 2w/w

This can be simplified to

2:1 or as a fraction 2/1

3. What is the exact area of triangle ABC? Use special right triangles to help find the base of the triangle. Show your work.

Answers

The exact area of triangle ABC is 93.51 cm².

The given parameters;

Height of the triangle, h = 18 cm

The base of the triangle is calculated by using trigonometry ratio as follows;

[tex]tan (30) = \frac{b}{18} \\\\[/tex]

where;

b is the base of the triangle ABC

[tex]b = 18 \times tan(30)\\\\b = 10.39 \ cm[/tex]

The area of the triangle ABC  with the calculated base and given height is calculated as follows;

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height\\\\A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10.39 \times 18\\\\A = 93.51 \ cm^2[/tex]

Thus, the exact area of triangle ABC is 93.51 cm².

I need help on these functions questions

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Substitute x = - 1 into f(x)

f(- 1) = 6 - 2(- 1) = 6 + 2 = 8

(b)

Substitute x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] into g(x)

g([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ) = [tex]\frac{9}{\frac{1}{3} }[/tex] = 9 × 3 = 27

(c)

Substitute x = f(x) into h(x)

h(6 - 2x)

= 6 + (6 - 2x)² ← expand using FOIL

= 6 + 36 - 24x + 4x² ← collect like terms

= 4x² - 24x + 42

(d)

Substitute x = f(x) into g(x)

g(6 - 2x)

= [tex]\frac{9}{6-2x}[/tex]

(e)

Evaluate g(12) then substitute value obtained into f(x)

g(12) = [tex]\frac{9}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] , then

f([tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ) = 6 - (2 × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ) = 6 - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

(f)

Evaluate f(- 9) then substitute the value obtained into h(x)

f(- 9) = 6 - 2(- 9) = 6 + 18 = 24 , then

h(24) = 6 + 24² = 6 + 576 = 582

what is the slope of the line?

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We have two points on the line

(-1,3) and ( 1,4)

m = ( 4-3)/(1 - -1)

   = (4-3)/(1+1)

    = 1/2

Answer:

Start where the line meets a point. Then go up and over until it meets another.

The answer is 1/2

So go up one and over two. Then other problems such as this one should be pretty straight forward

The temperature was -1°F at noon and dropped to -14°F by the evening.

What was the change in temperature?

13°F
-13°F
-15°F
15°F

Answers

Answer:

-13°F is the change in temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in temperature is,

→ -1 + x = -14

→ x = -14 + 1

→ [ x = -13 ]

Hence, -13°F is the change.

for 0 ≤ θ < 2 π what are the solutions to sin^2(θ) =2sin^2(θ/2)

Answers

Recall the half-angle identity for sine,

sin²(x/2) = (1 - cos(x))/2

Then the given equation is identical to

sin²(θ) = 1 - cos(θ)

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1

Then we rewrite the equation as

1 - cos²(θ) = 1 - cos(θ)

Factoring the left side, we have

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ)) = 1 - cos(θ)

and so

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ)) - (1 - cos(θ)) = 0

and we factor this further as

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ) - 1) = 0

which gives

cos(θ) (1 - cos(θ)) = 0

Then either

cos(θ) = 0   or   1 - cos(θ) = 0

cos(θ) = 0   or   cos(θ) = 1

[θ = arccos(0) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(0) + 2nπ]

…   or   [θ = arccos(1) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(1) + 2nπ]

(where n is any integer)

[θ = π/2 + 2nπ   or   θ = -π/2 + 2nπ]   or   [θ = 0 + 2nπ]

In the interval 0 ≤ θ < 2π, we get three solutions:

• first solution set with n = 0   ⇒   θ = π/2

• second solution set with n = 1   ⇒   θ = 3π/2

• third solution set with n = 0   ⇒   θ = 0

So, the first choice is correct.
