100 divided by 4 = 25 
<span>100 divided by a lesser number than 4, say 2, = 50 </span>
<span>100 divided by an even lesser number than 4, say 1, = 100. </span>

<span>Notice the pattern. Each time we divide by a lesser number, the quotient (the answer) gets larger and larger </span>

<span>Dividing by 1 already equals a quotient that is EQUAL to the original number we are dividing. </span>

<span>Thus, for the pattern to continue, the quotient must become greater than the number. </span>

<span>100 divided by an even lesser number than 1, say .5 = 200.</span>

Well if you get back to the definition of a division, diving X by Y is finding out how many Ys you can have in a X.

It is clear that you will have more than X times Y if Y is less than 1 since dividing X by 1 is exactly X.

If you think of 10 and 1, you can divide 10 in exactly 10 portions of 1.
But you can divide it into 100 portions of 0,1.
And 100 is bigger than 10 of course.
Hope this helps.

Arc CD is One-fourth of the circumference of a circle. What is the radian measure of the central angle?
Alex

Answer:

\frac{\pi }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the arc is \frac{1}{4} of the circumference, then

central angle = \frac{1}{4} × 2π ← angle in whole circle

central angle = \frac{2\pi }{4} = \frac{\pi }{2}

The answer for Mixed Degree Systems 
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

We have to find the maximum number of solutions of each of the following system:

1)

Two distinct concentric circles:

Since, distinct concentric circles means that the two circles have same center but different radius.

That means they will never intersect each other at any point.

Ans hence we will get zero solutions.

2)

Two distinct parabolas:

Two parabolas can maximum intersect at 2 points this could be seen by the diagrams.

3)

A line and a circle.

A line and a circle can maximum have 2 solutions.

4)

A parabola and a circle.

It can have maximum two solutions it can be seen from the diagram.

Kristin owns a bakery called Kristin's Cakes n' Such and is considering lowering the price of her cakes. Kristin polls her custo
azamat
The total revenue that is gained from the sales of the cakes is determined by multiplying the number of cakes by the price. If we let x be the number of $1 that should be deducted from the price and y be the total revenue,
                               y = (25 - x)(100 + 5x)
Simplifying, 
                              y = 2500 + 25x - 5x²
We get the value of x that will give us the maximum revenue by differentiating the equation and equating the differential to zero.
                             dy/dx = 0 = 25 - 10x
The value of x is 2.5. 
 The price of the cake should be 25 - 2.5 = 22.5. 
Thus, the price of the cake that will give the maximum potential revenue is $22.5.

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt
DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\  \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565 ft.

Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
