Leon's older brother is 4 3/4 feet tall. Leon is 1/3 foot shorter than his brother . How tall is leon?

Answers

Answer 1

Let

x------> height of Leon's older brother

y------> height of Leon

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

4\frac{3}{4}\ ft=\frac{4*4+3}{4}= \frac{19}{4}\ ft443 ft=44∗4+3=419 ft

we know that

x=\frac{19}{4}\ ftx=419 ft -----> equation A

y=x-\frac{1}{3}y=x−31 -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

y=\frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{53}{12}\ fty=419−31=1253 ft

Convert to mixed number

\frac{53}{12}=\frac{48}{12}+\frac{5}{12}=4\frac{5}{12}\ ft1253=1248+125=4125 ft

therefore

the answer is

4\frac{5}{12}\ ft4125 ft

Right now, you have 3 pizzas and 12 people. That makes the fraction 3/12. You can simplify this fraction. All you have to do is divide both 3 and 12 by 3.

So, 3/3 =1

Explain why the square root of a number is defined to be
equal to that number to the 1/2 power

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x^(1/2))^2 = x^(2/2) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of a number, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number.

  (√x)(√x) = x

The rule for exponents is that powers of the same base, when multiplied, will be the base to the sum of those powers.

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

Also, the first power of a number is that number itself.

__

  [tex]x^{\frac{1}{2}}\times x^{\frac{1}{2}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}=x^1=x\\\\ \text{Compare to ...}\\\\ \sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{x}=x[/tex]

Answer:

Squaring and square root are inverses, so one should "undo" the other. That is, squaring the square root of a number results in the number. Using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Since a number to the first power is itself, the product of the exponents must equal 1. This means that the power of the square root must be the reciprocal of 2, or one half.

a.) 1/2n 4=3−5/n b.) 1/2(n 4)=5/n−3 c.) 1/2(n 4)=3−5/n d.) 1/2n 4=5/n−3

Let's assume the number be n.

So, sum of number and four can be written as n+4.

Now one-half of n+4 will be .

Quotient of five and the number can be written as .

Now three less \frac{5}{n} can be written as \frac{5}{n} -3.

So, one-half the sum of a number and four is three less than the quotient of five and the number can be converted into equation as follows:

So, b is the correct choice.

* 9x^2 - 12y^2 + 3x
* 9x^2 - 12y^2 - 11x

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x^2-9y^2-4x) +(x^2-3y^2-7x)

8x^2+x^2-9y^2-3y^2-4x-7x

9x^2-12y^2-11x

The sum of the polynomials is 4x² - 12y² - 11x. The correct answer is an option (D) 4x² - 12y² - 11x.

What is a polynomial?

A polynomial is defined as a mathematical expression that has a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers. A polynomial can have more than one term.

The polynomials are given as follows:

(8x² - 9y² - 4x) + (x² - 3y² - 7x)

By combining like terms, we can add the polynomials:

(8x² - 9y² - 4x) + (x² - 3y² - 7x)

= 8x² - 4x² - 9y² - 3y² - 4x - 7x

= 4x² - 12y² - 11x

Therefore, the sum of the polynomials is 4x² - 12y² - 11x.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 4x² - 12y² - 11x.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 6ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

a. Find the length of the shorter side
b. Find the length of the longer side
c. Find the length of the hypotenuse
d. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Answer: Shorter side = 10 feet

Longer side = 24 feet

Hypotenuse = 26 feet

The side lengths of the triangle are 10ft, 24ft and 26ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter leg be x.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. This will be: = 2x + 4

The length of the hypotenuse is 6ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. This will be: = 2x + 6

Note that the square of the hypothenuse will be equal to the square of the other two sides. This will be:

x² + (2x + 4)² = (2x + 6)²

x² + (2x + 4)(2x + 4) = (2x + 6)(2x + 6)

x² + 4x² + 8x + 8x + 16 = 4x² + 12x + 12x + 36

x² + 4x² + 16x + 16 = 4x² + 24x + 36

5x² + 16x + 16 = 4x² + 24x + 36

Collect like terms

5x² - 4x² + 16x - 24x + 16 - 36 = 0

x² - 8x - 20 = 0

x² - 10x + 2x - 20 = 0

x(x - 10) + 2(x - 10) = 0

Therefore, x - 10 = 0

x = 10

a. length of the shorter side = 10ft

b. Length of the longer side = 2x + 4 = 2(10) + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24ft

c. length of the hypotenuse = 2x + 6 = 2(10) + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26ft

d. The side lengths of the triangle are 10ft, 24ft and 26ft.

Two points, a and b, are graphed on the number line below. Maynard says there is not
enough information to write an inequality statement comparing a and b. Which statement
explains whether or not Maynard is correct?

Answers

Answer:b

Step-by-step explanation:

Maynard is incorrect on the number line a is to the left of b thus a < b can be represented thus option (A) is correct.

What is inequality?

A difference between two values indicates whether one is smaller, larger, or basically not similar to the other.

In other words, inequality is just the opposite of equality for example 2 =2 then it is equal but if I say 3 =6 then it is wrong the correct expression is 3 < 6.

As per the given number line,

If a number is going to the left of a number line then it will become lower and lower.

Since a is on the left of b so a < b.

It is also obtained that a is less than 0 so it will be negative while b will be positive since all negative value is less than positive thus a < b will be correct.

Hence "Maynard is mistaken since an is to the left of b on the number line, which can be expressed as a b".
