If 2 is added to the numerator of a
fraction it reduces to 1/2 and if 1 is subtracted from the denominater it reduces to 1/3. Find the fraction.​

Answers

Answer 1

❍ Let's say, that the numerator of the fraction be x and denominator of the fraction be y.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\underline{\sf{Case\;}\it{1}:}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If 2 is added to the numerator of the fraction, it reduces to 1/2.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Therefore,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{\dfrac{x+2}{y}=\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{2x+4=y}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{2x=y-4}\qquad\qquad\bigg\lgroup\sf{eq^n\;1}\bigg\rgroup\end{gathered}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\underline{\sf{Case\;}\it{2}:}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If 1 is subtracted from the denominator of the fraction, it reduces to 1/3.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Therefore,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{\dfrac{x}{y-1}=\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{3x=y-1}\qquad\qquad\bigg\lgroup\sf{eq^n\;2}\bigg\rgroup\end{gathered}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\qquad\qquad\footnotesize{\underline{\bf{\dag\;}\frak{Subtracting\;eq^n\;2\;from\;eq^n\;1:}}}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{3x-2x=y-1-y-4}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\pink{\frak{\pmb{x=3}}}}}\;\bigstar\end{gathered}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\qquad\qquad\footnotesize{\underline{\bf{\dag\;}\frak{Substituting\;value\;of\;x\;in\;eq^n\;1:}}}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{2x=y-4}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{2(3)=y-4}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{6=y-4}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{6=y-4}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{y=-4-6}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\purple{\frak{\pmb{y=10}}}}}\;\bigstar\end{gathered}[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hence,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Numerator = x = 3Denominator = y = 10

Which equation should you solve to find x?
A. COS 26 = x/10
B. COS 26 = 9/10
C. Sin 26 = x/10
D. Tan 26 = 9/x

Answers

Answer: Choice C

sin(26) = x/10

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

Explanation:

With respect to the 26 degree angle, the x is the opposite side and the 9 is the length of the adjacent side.

We can say tan(26) = x/9 because tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent. In other words, tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

Unfortunately, tan(26) = x/9 is not an answer choice.

Luckily though, we have other trig ratios to work with.

The sine ratio ties together the opposite side and hypotenuse

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(26) = x/10

---------

Extra info (optional section)

Solving for x leads to...

sin(26) = x/10

10*sin(26) = x

x = 10*sin(26)

x = 4.38371 approximately

Also, note how cos(26) = 0.89879 approximately, which is fairly close to 9/10 = 0.9. This indicates some rounding error is going on when your teacher is displaying either the 9, the 10, or the 26 degree angle.

A gold, a silver, and a bronze medal are awarded in an Olympic event. In how many possible ways can the medals be awarded for a 200-meter sprint in which there are 12 runners

Answers

Answer:

The medals can be awarded in 1,320 possible ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a gold, a silver, and a bronze medal are awarded in an Olympic event, to determine in how many possible ways can the medals be awarded for a 200-meter sprint in which there are 12 runners, the following calculation must be performed:

12 x 11 x 10 = X

12 x 110 = X

1,320 = X

Therefore, the medals can be awarded in 1,320 possible ways.

The correct answer is

Overnight, a pipe cracked and started to leak into a basement. The graph shows the depth of the water in relation to time.

​How many inches does the water rise each hour?
___ inches.

​How deep is the water after four hours? The water is
__ inches deep.

​How long will it take for the water to reach a depth of 80 inches? It will take
__ hours.

Answers

Answer:

the water will rise 10 in each hour after 4 hours the water will be 40 in deep and it will take 8 hours for the water to reach a depth of 80 in

The water rises 10 inches each hour. The water is 4 inches deep is the water after four hours. It will take 8 hours for the water to reach a depth of 80 inches.

What is a graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

A pipe cracked overnight and started to leak into a basement.

The graph represents the depth (d) of the water over time (t).

As per the given graph, the required solution would be as:

Take two points (1, 10) and (5, 50) in the given graph

The linear function will be :

d - 10 = (50-10)/(5-1)(t - 1)

d - 10 = (40/4)(t - 1)

d = 10(t - 1) + 10

d = 10t - 10 + 10

d = 10t

Here slope of the given function is 10, which means 10 inches the water rise each hour.

The value of time (t) = 4 hr corresponds to the depth of water (d) is

d = 10(4) = 40

So, the water is 40 inches deep is the water after four hours

The value of depth of water (d) = 80 in corresponds to the time (t) is

80 = 10t

t = 80/10 = 8

So, It will take 8 hours for the water to reach a depth of 80 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

yes, the other answer is correct.

just to explain a little bit more :

the sequence is clearly built by subtracting 6 from one element to the next.

in other words :

a1 = 45

a n = a n-1 - 6

in such a sequence you do the same operation/ calculation over and over again - once per new element.

the operation in this example is simple - as mentioned : subtract 6.

a1 just gives us a starting value (no operation done for for it) zu, the operation is done one time less than the running number of the element.

therefore, the general element generation algorithm/ formula is :

a n = a1 - (n-1)*6

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-2x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Determine the slope

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the two given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

[tex]=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-2x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept

[tex]y=-2x+b[/tex]

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

[tex]y=-2x+2[/tex]
