Add the opposite number of 1 1/5 to the sum of the numbers (−8 3/4 ) and (−2 5/6 ).
svetoff [14.1K]
Start by finding the sum of (-8 3/4) and (-2 5/6).  Find the least common denominator (LCD).  12 is the first thing that both 4 and 6 will evenly divide into, so we convert both fractions to 12ths:

-8 3/4 = -8 9/12 (multiply 4 by 3 to get 12, so multiply the numerator, 3, by 3 as well)
-2 5/6 = -2 10/12 (multiply 6 by 2 to get 12, so multiply the numerator, 5, by 2 as well)
-8 9/12 + -2 10/12 = -10 19/12
We must convert the improper fraction.  12 goes into 19 1 time with 7 left over, so 19/12 = 1 7/12
This means that -10 19/12 = -11 7/12
The opposite of 1 1/5 is -1 1/5.  Add this to -11 7/12.  Again find the LCD; in this case it is 60.
-1 1/5 = -1 12/60
-11 7/12 = -11 35/60
Adding these two we get -12 47/60.

Why do you think a removable discontinuity (hole) doesn't produce an asymptote on the graph of a polynomial function, even thoug
Monica [59]
Because  removable discontituity means that the limit of the function at that point has a finite value, and then you define the value of the function as that valu (the limit value).

An asymptote means that the limit of the function goes to positive or negative infinity.

You cannot meet both conditions, finite  and infinity limit at the same time.

Expand (2x-3y)^4 using Pascal's Triangle. Show work
deff fn [24]
(2x+3y)⁴
1) let 2x = a   and 3y = b

(a+b)⁴ = a⁴ + a³b + a²b² + ab³ + b⁴
Now let's find the coefficient of each factor using Pascal Triangle
     
                     0     |               1
                     1     |            1    1
                     2     |          1   2   1
                     3     |         1  3   3   1
                     4     |       1  4   6    4  1

0,1,2,3,4,.. represent the exponents of binomials 
Since our binomial has a 4th exponents, the coefficients are respectively:

(1)a⁴ + (4)a³b + (6)a²b² + (4)ab³ + (1)b⁴
Now replace a and b by their real values in (1):

2⁴x⁴ +(4)8x³(3y) + (6)(2²x²)(3²y²) + (4)(2x)(3³y³) + (1)(3⁴)(y⁴)

16x⁴ + 96x³y + 216x²y² + 216xy³ + 81y⁴

Triangle G F E is cut by line segment H J. Line segment H J goes from side G E to F E. The length of G F is 4 x minus 4, the len
alexira [117]

Answer:

HJ = 8  JE = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem the line segment connecting the midpoint of two sides is parallel to the three side and its length is half of the third side. since JH is connecting the midpoints.

HJ= 1/2 (GF)

x + 3 = 1/2 (4x - 4)

x + 3 = 2x - 2

x = 5

^ Thus meaning the value of x is 5.

Now you just fill into your equations:

HJ = x + 3 = (5)  + 3 = 8

JE = x - 1 = (5) - 1 = 4

Therefore, HJ = 8; JE = 4.
