A baker cut a pie in thirds. He cut each third into 4 equal pieces and each piece into 2 equal slices. He sold

14 slices.

What fraction of the pie did the baker sell?

The baker sold

of the pie.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He sold 7/8 of pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pie cut in thirds = 3 pieces

Each of this 3 pieces is cut into 4 equal pieces, which equals

3 x 4= 12 pieces of cut pie.

Each of this piece is cut into 2 equal slices,

which equals 12 x 2= 24 slices of pie.

If he sold 14 slices, then the fraction sold is

14/24 = 7/8

He sold 7/8 of pie.

Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment AB.
A (1, 5) and B (7, -1)

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment AB is [tex]y = x - 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines and slopes:

If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment AB.

Equation of a line that passes through the midpoint of segment AB and is perpendicular to AB.

Midpoint of segment AB:

Mean of their coordinates x and y. So

(1+7)/2 = 4

(5-1)/2 = 2

So (4,2).

Slope of segment AB:

When we have two points, the slope between them is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

In segment AB, we have points (1,5) and (7,-1). So

Change in y: -1 - 5 = -6

Change in x: 7 - 1 = 6

Slope: -6/6 = -1

Equation of the perpendicular bisector:

The slope, multiplied with the slope of segment AB, is -1. So

[tex]-1m = -1[/tex]

[tex]m = 1[/tex]

So

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

Passes through (4,2), which means that when [tex]x = 4, y = 2[/tex]. So

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

[tex]2 = 4 + b[/tex]

[tex]b = -2[/tex]

So

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

Answer:

h(x)≥ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If h(x) = x+2

Range is the output value for all input variables x

If x <3

h(x) < 3 + 2

h(x) < 5

Also h(x) = -x+8, if x ≥3

h(x ) = -3 + 8

h(x)≥ 5

Combining both inequalities

h(x)≥ 5

5 ≤ h(x) < 5

Hence the required range is h(x)≥ 5

My calculator works with mixed numbers very nicely, as many graphing calculators do.

Step-by-step explanation:

convert the fractions to whole numbers. the first one is:

4 × 7, then add 3, or 31/4.

the second one is 6 × 1, then add 5, or 11/6.

then you have 31/4 + 11/6. then you make a common denominator, which would be 12 (6 and 4 both go into 12).

3 × 31 = 93, so then the first fractions becomes:

93/12

second fraction becomes 11 × 2 = 22, then:

22/12.

so now you have 93/12 + 22/12 = 115/12, or 9 7/12

Find the complex factors of the quadratic trinomial x^2 + 8x +17

Answers

Answer: Factoring  x2+8x+17

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +8x  its coefficient is  8 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +17

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 17 = 17

Step-2 : Find two factors of  17  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   8 .

     -17    +    -1    =    -18

     -1    +    -17    =    -18

     1    +    17    =    18

     17    +    1    =    18

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Equation at the end of step

1

:

 x2 + 8x + 17  = 0

STEP

2

:

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

2.1      Find the Vertex of   y = x2+8x+17

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is  -4.0000  

Plugging into the parabola formula  -4.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :

 y = 1.0 * -4.00 * -4.00 + 8.0 * -4.00 + 17.0

or   y = 1.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = x2+8x+17

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={-4.00}

Vertex at  {x,y} = {-4.00, 1.00}  

Function has no real rootsvSolving   x2+8x+17 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Subtract  17  from both side of the equation :

  x2+8x = -17

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  8 , divide by two, giving  4 , and finally square it giving  16

Add  16  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  -17  +  16    or,  (-17/1)+(16/1)

 The common denominator of the two fractions is  1   Adding  (-17/1)+(16/1)  gives  -1/1

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2+8x+16 = -1

Adding  16  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2+8x+16  =

  (x+4) • (x+4)  =

 (x+4)2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2+8x+16 = -1 and

  x2+8x+16 = (x+4)2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x+4)2 = -1

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #2.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x+4)2   is

  (x+4)2/2 =

 (x+4)1 =

  x+4

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #2.2.1  we get:

  x+4 = √ -1

Subtract  4  from both sides to obtain:

  x = -4 + √ -1

In Math,  i  is called the imaginary unit. It satisfies   i2  =-1. Both   i   and   -i   are the square roots of   -1

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

  x2 + 8x + 17 = 0

  has two solutions:

 x = -4 + √ 1 •  i

  or

 x = -4 - √ 1 •  i

will be the price of the next model?
Decrease in price:
Price of next model:

Answers

Answer:

Price is decreased by $3,312

And, the price of the next model is $44,688

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that the current model cost is $48,000

And, there is 6.9% lower than the current model

So, the price would decrease in dollars is

= $48,000 × 6.9%

= $3,312

The price of the next model is

= $48,000 - $3,312

= $44,688
