A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product, you get 7/12. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get -7/12 . What is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:Let p/q (q ≠ 0) denote the rational number. Multiplying it by 5/2 gives (p/q)(5/2). Add 2/3 to the product and we get (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 . The result is given to be -7/12.

∴ (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 = -7/12 …………………………..……………………………………..(1)

Transposing 2/3 to right-hand-side and changing the sign to negative,

(p/q)(5/2) = -2/3 -7/12 = -(2/3 + 7/12) =- (2 x 4 + 7)/12 (Taking L.C.M.)

Or, (p/q)(5/2) = -(8+7)/12 = - 15/12

Multiplying both sides by 2/5,

(p/q)(5/2) x (2/5) = -15/12 . 2/5 = -(3x5)/(3x4) . 2/5 =- 5/4 .2/5

Since 2/5 is the multiplicative inverse of 5/2, 5/2 x 2/5 = 1 and we obtain

(p/q).1 = -1/4 . 2/1 = -1/2

⇒ p/q = -1/2 which is a negative rational number in which p = 1 and q = 2 ≠ 0 .

∴ the rational number = -1/2

find the missing end point if H is the midpoint of PS. P(2,5) and H (3,4) find S (endpoint)

Answers

Answer:

(4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint add the end points and divide by 2

P(2,5)    S ( sx, sy)  and the midpoint is and H (3,4)

X coordinate

( 2+ sx) /2 = 3

Multiply each side by 2

2+sx = 3*2

2+sx = 6

Subtract 2

sx = 4

Y coordinate

( 5+ sy) /2 = 4

Multiply each side by 2

5+sy = 4*2

5+sy = 8

Subtract 5

sy = 3

The end point is

(4,3)

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{S(4,3)}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the midpoint formula to solve for the endpoint.

[tex]\displaystyle m=(\frac{x_1+x_2 }{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )[/tex]

The midpoint of PS is H.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2+x_2 }{2} =3 \ \ \ \frac{5+y_2}{2} =4[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{Option \ B}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 3 + 2 = 5       [Since the result is a natural number, it is a rational number]

2) [tex]\sqrt{19} + \frac{7}{2}[/tex]    [ It has a square root that cannot be simplified further so the sum of this is an irrational one ]

3) [tex]\frac{18}{3} + \frac{11}{10000}[/tex]     [The sum of it is rational i.e. in the form of p/q ]

4) -6+ (-3.251) = -6-3.251 = -9.251 [ Since the result is an integer, it is a rational number]

Answer:

[tex]\Huge \boxed{\sqrt{19} +7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers can be integers, fractions, and whole numbers.

Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions p/q, where p and q are whole numbers.

[tex]3+2=5[/tex]

5 is whole number, it is a rational number.

[tex]\sqrt{19} +7= 11.358899....[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{19}[/tex] is an irrational number, it cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are whole numbers.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{18}{3} +\frac{11}{10000} =\frac{60011}{10000}[/tex]

The result is rational, it can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are whole numbers.

[tex]-6+(-3.251)=-9.251[/tex]

The result is rational, it can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are whole numbers.

divide 5kg in the ratio 13:7​

Answers

Answer:

1.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

13/20 of 5 = 13/20 x 5= 3.25 kg

and, 7/20 of 5 = 7/20 x 5=1.75 kg

so, divide, 5 kg in ration of 13:7 is:

3.25 kg : 1.75 kg

Answer:

3.25 Kg : 1.75 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 13 + 7 = 20 parts

Divide the amount by 20 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

5 Kg ÷ 20 = 0.25 Kg ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

13 parts = 13 × 0.25  =3.25 Kg

7 parts = 7 × 0.25 = 1.75 Kg

estimate the height of a tree using the following measurements:height of the rod:180 cm,length of the shadow of the rod is 116 cm,length of the shadow of the tree:840 cm,calculate the height of the tree

Answers

Answer:

1303.45 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles formed by a rod and its shadow and a tree and its shadow are similar triangles, so the ratios of their heights to the lengths of their shadows are equal.

Let x be the height of the tree. Setting the ratios equal, we get:

180/116 = x/840

Solve for x:

x = 840 * (180/116)

x ≈ 1303.45 cm

Find the value of $B - A$ if the graph of $Ax + By = 3$ passes through the point $(-7,2),$ and is parallel to the graph of $x + 3y = -5.$

Answers

Answer:

  -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line can be written using the same x- and y-coefficients, but with a different constant:

  x +3y = constant

For the line to go through the given point, the constant must be ...

  (-7) +3(2) = constant

  -1 = constant

In order for the constant to be +3 instead of -1, the entire equation must be multiplied by -3:

  -3x -9y = 3   ⇒   A = -3, B = -9

Then the expression B-A is ...

  B -A = (-9) -(-3) = -6

The value of B - A is -6.

Write the equation of the line that has the indicated slope and contains the indicated point. Express the final equation in standard form. m = 1/2 , (3, 4)

Answers

Answer:

x - 2y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

1/2 , (3, 4),

The equation of a line :

y = mx + c

m = slope ; c = gradient

m = 1/2

c = (y1 - x1) / 2

c = (4 - 3) / 2 = 1/2

Hence, y = 1/2x + 1/2

In standard form:

Ax + By = C

A and B integer Coefficient of x and y respectively

y = 1/2x + 1/2

1/2x - y = - 1/2

Multiply both sides by 2

x - 2y = - 2

Hence, standard form of the equation is :

x - 2y = - 2

I am trying to do combining like terms

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine like terms, we need to find similar numbers. 5x and -2x can be simplified because they both end with x. 6x^2 is different because it ends with x^2. So to simplify, we subtract 2x from 5x to get 3x, and we add 6x^2 to get our answer.

Answer: [tex]6x^2+3x[/tex]

Answer:

6x² +3x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

[tex]6x^2 + 5x-2x[/tex]

and asked to combine like terms. Let's analyze the terms.

6x² ⇒ has a variable, x²

5x  ⇒ has a variable, x

2x  ⇒ has a variable, x

Now, let's group the like terms, 5x and -2x.

[tex]6x^2+ (5x-2x)[/tex]

Next, combine the like terms. Subtract 2x from 5x.

[tex]6x^2+(3x)[/tex]

[tex]6x^2+3x[/tex]

The expression 6x² +5x-2x simplified is 6x² +3x
