1.Why is multiplying essential in the process of dividing fractions?
Answer: Few phrases make me cringe the way I do when I hear, “Ours is not to reason why; just invert and multiply.” A student’s job in math class is to reason, and a teacher’s job is to help the students see that math makes sense. Understanding division of fractions is complicated, bringing together many ideas that build up to a method that makes sense, especially in the tricky case of a fraction divided by a fraction. Liping Ma writes about research asking teachers to explain what it means to divide by a fraction. Most U.S. teachers were startled to find how difficult this was for them. What if we start with the simpler case of a whole number divided by a fraction?

Jay has spent 3/8 of his life working for his current company. If Jay has been 8 3working for his current company for 15 years, how old is he?
Answer:
40 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jay has spent 3/8 of his life working for his current company and it is stated that he has been at the current company for 15 years, we can divide 15 years by 3 to find out how much a single part of the fraction (1/8) is.
15 / 3 = 5 years
5 years = 1/8
Now that we know how many years is a single part of his life we simply multiply this value by 8 to calculate how many years would equal his total life or in other words how old Jay currently is.
5 years * 8 = 40 years old

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:
[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
The complete question is:
Which is the best first step to solve 5x²+12x = 40 by completing the square?
A. Subtract 40 from both sides.B. Divide all terms by 12.C. Divide all terms by 5D. Divide 12 by 2We have a quadratic equation:
5x²+12x = 40
To make the perfect square:
First, subtract 40 from both sides.
5x²+12x - 40 = 40 - 40
5x²+12x - 40 = 0
Thus, to make the perfect square the first step is Subtract 40 from both sides option (A) is correct.

What should the following equation be multiplied by in order to eliminate the fractions? x/3+x/6=11/9
Answer:
Multiply by 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{6} = \frac{11}{9}[/tex]
Required
Eliminate the fraction
To eliminate the fraction, we first determine the LCM of the denominators (3, 6 and 9)
This is show below:
List out the multiplies of 3, 6 and 9
[tex]3 = 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30...[/tex]
[tex]6 = 6,12,18,24,30...[/tex]
[tex]9 = 9,18,27...[/tex]
The least common multiple is 18.
Hence, when both sides of the equation is multiplied by 18, the fraction is eliminated;
See proof
[tex]18 * (\frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{6}) = \frac{11}{9} * 18[/tex]
[tex]\frac{18x}{3} + \frac{18x}{6} = \frac{11*18}{9}[/tex]
[tex]6x + 3x = 11 * 2[/tex]
[tex]6x + 3x = 22[/tex]
The fraction is eliminated

If f(x)=x²-16 is continuous at x = -4, find f(-4).
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-4) means x = -4 so then plug -4 into the function.
y = -4²-16
y = 0
Answer:
f(-4) =0
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=x²-16
Let x = -4
f(-4) = (-4)^2 -16
= 16-16
= 0

Answer:
10% of choosing a 7th grade boy.
50% of choosing 8th grade boy
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
prob(boy 7th grade)= 1/10 it is just one boy out of 10 students
prob(boy 8th grade)= 3/6=1/2 there are 3 boys out of 6 students
Prob(both boys)=( 1/10)*(1/2)=1/20

What is one-step matrix equation?A matrix equation is an equation of the form Ax = b , where A is an m × n matrix, b is a vector in R m , and x is a vector whose coefficients x 1 , x 2 ,..., x n are unknown.
A one-step equation is an algebraic equation you can solve in only one step. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign.
Given one-step matrix equation
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}x_{1} &x_{2} \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}-2 &5 \end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}8 &15 \end{array}\right][/tex]
By adding the matrix the respective equations are:
[tex]x_{1} +(-2)=8[/tex].....(1)
[tex]x_{2} +(5)=15[/tex].....(2)
By solving [tex]x_{1} +(-2)=8[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x_{1} -2=8[/tex]
Add 2 on the both sides of the equation
⇒ [tex]x_{1}-2+2 =8+2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x_{1} =8+2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x_{1} =10[/tex]
Solving equation 2
[tex]x_{2} +(5)=15[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x_{2} +5=15[/tex]
Subtract 5 on both sides of the equation
⇒ [tex]x_{2} +5-5=15-5[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x_{2}=10[/tex]
By solving one-step matrix equation, we get [tex]x_{1} =10[/tex], [tex]x_{2}=10[/tex].

A quality control engineer is interested in estimating the proportion of defective items coming off a production line. In a sample of 100 items, 55 are defective. The lower bound of a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of defectives is ________.
Answer:
The lower bound of a 99% C.I for the proportion of defectives = 0.422
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
The point estimate = sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex]
[tex]\hat p = \dfrac{x}{n}[/tex]
[tex]\hat p = \dfrac{55}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\hat p[/tex] = 0.55
At Confidence interval of 99%, the level of significance = 1 - 0.99
= 0.01
[tex]Z_{\alpha/2} =Z_{0.01/2} \\ \\ = Z_{0.005} = 2.576[/tex]
Then the margin of error [tex]E = Z_{\alpha/2} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]E = 2.576 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.55(1-0.55)}{100}}[/tex]
[tex]E = 2.576 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.2475}{100}}[/tex]
[tex]E = 2.576 \times0.04975[/tex]
E = 0.128156
E ≅ 0.128
At 99% C.I for the population proportion p is: [tex]\hat p - E[/tex]
= 0.55 - 0.128
= 0.422
Thus, the lower bound of a 99% C.I for the proportion of defectives = 0.422

The LA Dodgers hit the most homeruns in 2014. The number of homeruns accounted for 6% of the entire major League baseball homerun count. If 583 total homeruns were hit, approximately how manu did the LA Didgers hit
Answer:
35 homeruns
Step-by-step explanation:
583*0.06=349.8-->34.98-->35
Answer:
The LA Dodgers hit 35 homeruns approximately in the league in year 2014.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Percentage of homeruns hit by LA Dodgers = 6% of the entire League
Total homeruns hit in the league = 583 homeruns
Homeruns hit by LA Dodgers = [tex]\frac{6}{100}*583[/tex]
Homeruns hit by LA Dodgers = 0.06 * 583
Homeruns hit by LA Dodgers = 34.98
Hence,
The LA Dodgers hit 35 homeruns approximately in the league in year 2014.
