How are the rules for dividing two negative fractions related to the rules for multiplying
two negative fractions? Will the answer be positive or negative? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1
The answer will be negative, the rules are a negative plus a negative equals a positive and a positive plus a positive equals a negative
Answer 2

The relation between multiplying and dividing two negative fractions is needed.

When multiplying and dividing two negative fractions the answer will be always positive.

Let [tex]-\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex] be one fraction

and [tex]-\dfrac{c}{d}[/tex] be another fraction

Let us multiply them

[tex]-\dfrac{a}{b}\times -\dfrac{c}{d}=+\dfrac{ac}{bd}[/tex]

Let us divide them

[tex]\dfrac{-\dfrac{a}{b}}{-\dfrac{c}{d}}[/tex]

This can also be written as

[tex]-\dfrac{a}{b}\times -\dfrac{d}{c}=+\dfrac{ad}{bc}[/tex]

Since, multiplication and division are the inverse of each other the negative signs cancel each other and the sign is positive.

Hence, when multiplying and dividing two negative fractions the answer will be always positive.

Renee used the values in the table to calculate simple interest.

Principal $750

Which interest rate is missing from Renee’s table?

Answers

Question:

Which interest rate is missing from Renee’s table?

Answer:

Principal- $750

Interest Rate- $00.5

Time- 11 yrs. (Years)

Interest- $412.50

Explanation:

To calculate your interest rate, you need to know the interest formula I/Pt = r to get your rate. ...

I = Interest amount paid in a specific time period (month, year etc.)

P = Principle amount (the money before interest)

t = Time period involved.

r = Interest rate in decimal.

Therefore we get an answer of $00.5

A flat screen tv at Best Buy costs $699 . The sales tax in Virginia is 5.3%. How much tax will you pay on the TV?

Answers

Answer:

736.05

Step-by-step explanation:699.00 x 5.3%=37.047

699.00 + 37.05 = 736.05

Answer:

$37.05

Step-by-step explanation:

$699 × 5.3%

We must convert 5.3% into just a decimal (not a percentage)

To do so, move the decimal to the left two places.

This would be 0.053

699 × 0.053 = 37.047

Although the exact number is 37.047, money is only paid within two decimals places, so let's round up to the nearest hundredth place

37.047 rounds up to 37.05

$37.05 is how much tax will be paid on the TV

Review the incomplete derivation of the cosine sum identity.

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 has entries step 1, step 2, step 3, step 4, step 5. Column 2 has entries cosine (x + y), sine (StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction minus (x + y) ), blank, sine (StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction minus x) cosine (negative y) + cosine (StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction minus x) sine (negative y), blank.

Which expressions for Step 3 and Step 5 complete the derivation?

Step 3: Sine ( (StartFraction pi over 2 EndFraction minus x) + y )
Step 5: cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y)
Step 3: Sine ( (StartFraction pi over 2 EndFraction minus x) + y )
Step 5: cos(x)cos(y) – sin(x)sin(y)
Step 3: Sine ( (StartFraction pi over 2 EndFraction minus x) minus y )
Step 5: cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y)
Step 3: Sine ( (StartFraction pi over 2 EndFraction minus x) minus y )
Step 5: cos(x)cos(y) – sin(x)sin(y)

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP - 3

[tex]\text{sin}[(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)-y][/tex]

STEP - 4

STEP - 5

cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y)

[Since, [tex]\text{sin}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)=cos(x)[/tex] and [tex]\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)=\text{sin}(x)[/tex]]

[Since, cos(-x) = cos(x) and sin(-x) = -sin(x)]

Which statement is true about the local minimum of the graphed function?

Over the interval [–4, –2], the local minimum is 0.
Over the interval [–2, –1], the local minimum is 25.
Over the interval [–1, 4], the local minimum is 0.
Over the interval [4, 7], the local minimum is -7.

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure and the statement options.

A. Over the interval [–4, –2], the local minimum is 0.

B. Over the interval [–2, –1], the local minimum is 25.

C. Over the interval [–1, 4], the local minimum is 0.

D. Over the interval [4, 7], the local minimum is -7.

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

According to the graph, we will check the options:

A. Over the interval [–4, –2], the local minimum is 0.  (Wrong)

Because the minimum is -12

B. Over the interval [–2, –1], the local minimum is 25.   (Wrong)

Because the minimum is 18

C. Over the interval [–1, 4], the local minimum is 0.  (Wrong)

Because the minimum is at x = 4 less than zero

D. Over the interval [4, 7], the local minimum is -7.    (True)

Because M is a midpoint, for both questions, the equations on M's either sides are equal.

9) 5x+9=24

Subtract 9 from both sides

5x=15

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=3

Add 7 to both sides and subtract x from both sides

2x=17

Andre ran 2 kilometers in 15 minutes, and Jada ran 3 kilometers in 20 minutes. Both ran at a constant speed. Did they run at the same speed?

Answers

Answer:

speed of Jada = 6km per hour which is not equal to

speed of Andre = 8km per hour

They did not run at same speed

Step-by-step explanation:

formula of speed = distance covered/ time taken

For Andre

Distance = 2 KM

time = 15 mins

60 mins = 1 hour

15 mins = 1/60 * 15 hour = 0.25 hours

thus,

speed = 2km/0.25 hour = 8 km per hour

Similarly for Jada

Distance = 3 KM

time = 20 mins

60 mins = 1 hour

20 mins = 1/60 * 20 hour = 1/3 hours

thus,

speed = 2km/(1/3)hour = 6  km per hour

Now we have

speed of Jada = 6km per hour which is not equal to

speed of Andre = 8km per hour

Jenny works in a picture framing shop. She has a function f(x) equals X +2 that find the size of a square frame, given a picture of side length X in inches. She has a function p(x) equals 3X that gives the price in dollars for the frame. What is the single function that Jenny can use to give a customer a price for a picture with an edge length of X

Answers

Given:

The function for size of a square frame is

[tex]f(x)=x+2[/tex]

where, x is the side length of the picture.

The function for the price in dollars for the frame is

[tex]p(x)=3x[/tex]

To find:

The single function for the price of a picture with an edge length of x.

Solution:

We know that, for a picture with an edge length of x.

Size of a square frame = f(x)

Price in dollars for the frame = p(x)

Single function for the price of a picture with an edge length of x is

[tex](p\circ f)(x)=p(f(x))[/tex]

[tex](p\circ f)(x)=p(x+2)[/tex]       [tex][\because f(x)=x+2][/tex]

[tex](p\circ f)(x)=3(x+2)[/tex]           [tex][\because p(x)=3x][/tex]

Let the name of this function is c(x). So,

[tex]c(x)=3(x+2)[/tex]

Therefore, the required function is [tex]c(x)=3(x+2)[/tex].
