Answer:

  1 23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions can be added when they have the same denominator. Then the addition is performed by adding the numerators, and expressing the sum over the common denominator.

Here, your fractions have denominators of 8 and 6. Usually, we want to find a "least common denominator" to use to express the fractions. There are various ways to find that value. One of the easiest is to consult your memory of multiplication tables to find the smallest number that both a multiple of 8 and a multiple of 6. That number is 24.

An equivalent fraction is one that has the same value, but a different denominator than the one it is being compared to. Equivalent fractions can be made by multiplying by "1" in the form of "a/a" where "a" is any non-zero value. Here, it is useful to multiply 9/8 by 3/3 to make the equivalent fraction 27/24, which has a denominator of 24.

Similarly, we can multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get the equivalent 20/24, which also has a denominator of 24.

These two fractions can now be added:

  [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{27}{24}+\dfrac{20}{24}=\dfrac{27+20}{24}=\dfrac{47}{24}[/tex]

If you want to turn this into a "mixed number", you need to find how many times 24 goes into 47: 47÷24 = 1 remainder 23. The quotient is the integer part of the mixed number; the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part. Then the mixed number value of the sum is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{47}{24}=1\dfrac{23}{24}[/tex]

_____

Additional comments

The product of the denominators can always serve as a common denominator. That may not be the "least" common denominator. If you use that here, you would have ...

  [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\right)+\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}\right)=\dfrac{54+40}{48}=\dfrac{94}{48}[/tex]

This result can be reduced by removing a factor of 2 from numerator and denominator to give 47/24, the sum we had above.

The "least common denominator" (LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. It can be found by forming the product of the unique factors of the denominators. Here, we have 8 = 2·2·2 and 6 = 2·3. The LCD is the product 2·2·2·3. We recognize that 2³ and 3 are unique factors that need to contribute to the LCD. 2 is subsumed by 2³.

As you can see from the factoring, 2 is a common factor of both numbers. Another way to find the LCD (or LCM of the denominators) is to form their product (8×6 = 48) and divide that by the greatest common factor (GCF), which is 2. (48/2 = 24, the LCD) Sometimes it is easier to find the GCF and compute (product/GCF) than to find the LCM using factoring.

__

If you don't mind the possibility of having to reduce the resulting fraction, the sum of fractions can always be computed as ...

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

This formula computes 94/48 as the sum of these fractions, effectively leaving out the middle step (9/8×6/6 +...) shown in the work above. I find this especially useful for adding rational expressions, not just numerical fractions.

opposite rays form a?
line
ray
point
plane​

Answers

Answer:

ray is the answer for this

opposite rays form a line because they provide the two opposite directions in which the line extends infinitely.

Opposite rays form a what?

Opposite rays are two rays that have the same endpoint but extend in opposite directions. When these opposite rays are extended infinitely in both directions, they form a straight line. A line is a set of points that extends infinitely in both directions, and opposite rays provide the two distinct directions in which the line can be extended.

The concept of opposite rays is derived from the concept of a line. A line can be defined as a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. Opposite rays are a pair of rays that share a common endpoint and extend infinitely in opposite directions along this line.

For example, consider a line segment AB. If we extend one side of the line segment from point A and the other side from point B, we obtain two opposite rays: one from point A to infinity and the other from point B to infinity. Together, these opposite rays form the line on which the line segment AB lies.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Option C is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The equation is  [tex]f (x, y , z ) = x^2 +y^2 + z^2[/tex]

    The constraint is  [tex]P(x, y , z) = x + y + z - 24 = 0[/tex]

Now using Lagrange multipliers  we have that  

   [tex]\lambda = \frac{ \delta f }{ \delta x } = 2 x[/tex]  

   [tex]\lambda = \frac{ \delta f }{ \delta y } = y[/tex]  

   [tex]\lambda = \frac{ \delta f }{ \delta z } = 2 z[/tex]

=>       [tex]x = \frac{ \lambda }{2}[/tex]

          [tex]y = \frac{ \lambda }{2}[/tex]

         [tex]z = \frac{ \lambda }{2}[/tex]

From the constraint  we have

      [tex]\frac{\lambda }{2} + \frac{\lambda }{2} + \frac{\lambda }{2} = 24[/tex]

=>   [tex]\frac{3 \lambda }{2} = 24[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = 16[/tex]

substituting for x, y, z

=>   x =  8

=>  y =  8

=>   z =  8        

Hence

    [tex]f (8, 8 , 8 ) = 8^2 +8^2 + 8^2[/tex]

    [tex]f (8, 8 , 8 ) = 192[/tex]

4 solid cubes were made out of the same material. All four have different side lengths: 6cm, 8cm, 10cm, and 12cm. How to distribute the cubes onto two plates of a scale so the scale is balanced? Answer: A= the cube with side length 6 cm, B= the cube with side length 8 cm, C= the cube with side length 10 cm, D= the cube with side length 12 cm. On one side of the scale : , on the other side of the scale

Answers

Answer: The cube with side length of 12cm is alone in one plate, the other 3 cubes are in the other plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 4 cubes with side lengths of:

6cm, 8cm, 10cm and 12cm.

Now, some things you need to know:

If we want a scale to be balanced, then the mass in both plates must be the same.

The volume of a cube of side length L is:

V = L^3

And the mass of an object of density D, and volume V is:

M = D*V.

As all the cubes are of the same material, all of them have the same density, so the fact that we do not know the value of D actually does not matter here.

Then we want to forms two groups of cubes in such a way that the total volume in each plate is the same (or about the same), the volumes of the cubes are:

Cube of 6cm:

V = (6cm)^3 = 216cm^3

Cube of 8cm:

V = (8cm)^3 = 512cm^3

Cube of 10cm:

V = (10cm)^3 = 1000cm^3

cube of 12cm

V = (12cm)^3 =  1728cm^3

First, if we add the volumes of the first two cubes, we have:

V1 = 216cm^3 + 512cm^3 = 728cm^3

Now we can see that we add 1000cm^3 the volume will be equal to the volume of the larger cube, so here we can also add the cube with side length of 10cm

Then the volume of the 3 smaller cubes together is:

V1 = 216cm^3 + 512cm^3 + 1000cm^3 = 1728cm^3.

Then, if we want to have the same volume in each plate, then we need to have the 3 smaller cubes in one plate, and the larger cube in the other plate.

When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 4kg, the acceleration of the object is 15/ms2. If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is
10kg, what is this object's acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a = 6m/s^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

Required

Determine the acceleration when mass = 10kg, provided force is constant;

Represent mass with m and acceleration with a

The question says there's an inverse variation between acceleration and mass; This is represented as thus;

[tex]a\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{m}[/tex]

Convert variation to equality

[tex]a = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]; Where F is the constant of variation (Force)

Make F the subject of formula;

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

[tex]F = 4 * 15[/tex]

[tex]F = 60N[/tex]

When mass = 10kg; Substitute 60 for Force

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]60 = 10 * a[/tex]

[tex]60 = 10a[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex]\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10a}{10}[/tex]

[tex]a = 6m/s^2[/tex]

Hence, the acceleration is [tex]a = 6m/s^2[/tex]

The size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches. The aspect ratio of the screens of older televisions is 4:3, while the aspect ratio of newer wide-screen televisions is 16:9. Find area of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3

Answers

Greetings from Brasil...

The TV format is 4:3.

4 ÷ 3 = 1.33...

Let's assign the smallest side of the TV screen as X. Since the ratio between the sides is 4:3 = 1.33, then the other side (the largest) will be 1.33 times larger than the smaller side X, that is

smaller side  = X

bigger side = 1.33X

The diagonal expression of the rectangle is:

D = √(base² + height²)

35" = √[(1.33X)² + X²]

35" = √(1.7689X² + X²)       squaring both members

(35")² = 1.7689X² + X²

1225" = 2.7689X²

X² = 1225/2.7689

X² = 442.414

X = √442.414

X ≅ 21"

Tthe bigger side:
