What is the definition of a reciprocal? Will give brainilest.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Reciprocal: what to multiply a value by to get 1. The reciprocal is also called the "Multiplicative Inverse".

That's the official definition. Basically... the reciprocal is whatever value you are working with... but the numerator and denominator are switched. Remember that if you are working with a whole number/ value... it is still a fraction divided by 1. For example, the number 6 is the same as 6/1. Another example would be x is the same as x/1. Knowing this, the reciprocal of x (which is x/1) is 1/x

Answer 2

Answer:

a mathematical expression related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity

the ratio of the number of womens shoes to the number of mens shoes in a shoe store is 12:7. What fraction of the shoes are mens shoes.

Answers

7/19 are the fraction of men's shoes

explanation + example:

Use the total number as the denominator: 6 + 8 = 14

Use each of the ratio terms as the numerator in a fraction:

6 becomes 6/14

8 becomes 8/14

Reduce each fraction to lowest terms:

6/14 simplifies to 3/7

8/14 simplifies to 4/7

The part-to-part ratio 6 : 8 converts into the fractions:

6/14 = 3/7

8/14 = 4/7

If LN = 6x - 5, LM = x + 7, and MN = 3x + 20, find MN

Answers

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

LM   +    MN     =   LN

x + 7  + 3x + 20 = 6x - 5

           4x + 27 = 6x - 5

          -4x         -4x      

                   27 = 2x - 5

                    +5        +5

                   32  = 2x

                   ÷2   ÷2    

                    16 = x

MN: 3x + 20

      3(16) + 20

Evaluate f(-2) for the function f(x)= -1/2x^2 + x + 1

Answers

Answer:

f(-2) = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f(x)=-\frac{1}{2} x^{2} +x+1[/tex]

Just plug in x = -2

[tex]f(-2)=-\frac{1}{2} (-2)^{2} -2+1[/tex]

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

4 can be rewritten as [tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex] so it has a common denominator.

[tex]f(-2)=-\frac{1}{2} * \frac{8}{2} -1[/tex]

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below? X^2-8x+16

Answers

(₋4)²

how i got it -

1st i used the sum-product pattern

x² - 8x + 16

x² -4-4+16

then, found the common fact from the two pairs

x² - 4 - 4 + 16

(-4) - 4(-4)

rewrite in factored form

(x-4)-4(-4)

(-4) (-4)

combine to a square

(-4) (-4)

Answer:

x=4*

Step-by-step explanation:

*THIS IS ASSUMING THAT THIS EQUATION IS EQUAL TO ZERO

X^2-8x+16=0

Let's solve this equation by factoring. First, we need to find factors of 16 that add to -8. We find that those factors are -4 and -4. X^2 is simply x times x.

Therefore, when it is factored It should look like this:

(x-4)(x-4)=0

Now we take both factors and set them equal to zero:

x-4=0; x-4=0

In both of these equations we just need to add 4 to both sides.

x=4; x=4

x=4

Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.

Then an old wolf, gaunt and battle-scarred, came forward. Buck writhed his lips into the preliminary of a snarl, but sniffed noses with him, Whereupon the old wolf sat down, pointed nose at the moon, and broke out the long wolf howl. The others sat down and howled. And now the call came to Buck in unmistakable accents. He, too, sat down and howled. This over, he came out of his angle and the pack crowded around him, sniffing in half-friendly, half-savage manner. The leaders lifted the yelp of the pack and sprang away into the woods. The wolves swung in behind, yelping in chorus. And Buck ran with them, side by side with the wild brother, yelping as he ran.

Which theme does this passage illustrate?

A good leader is strong and intelligent and treats his followers well.
Only the strong survive in the wilderness.
The only way to learn something is to try it.
The desire to fight for power is an instinct.

Answers

Answer:

The passage is centered on the theme of belonging in a certain pack or group. Buck may be a bit different from the others but as Buck tried to be like them and did what they usually do, it gathered the trust of the pack especially the leaders. To belong in a group, one should gain their trust.

lies in the shaded regions of both the top and bottom inequalities.
does not lie in the shaded region of the top or bottom inequalities.

Answers

Answer:

it is c

Step-by-step explanation:

top is correct

We want to know when a point is a solution to a system of inequalities. We will see that the correct option is "lies in the shaded regions of both the top and bottom inequalities."

Solution of an inequality:

A point is a solution to a inequality if and only if it belongs to the shaded region of the graph.

Solution of a system of inequalities:

A point is a solution to a system of inequalities if and only if it is a solution of each independent inequality that conforms the system.

Then, it must belong to all the shaded regions that represent the solution set of the inequalities at the same time, this means that it must belong to the intersection of the shaded regions.

From this, the correct option is:

"lies in the shaded regions of both the top and bottom inequalities."
