help please! by what fraction would you multiply 8 1/2 so that the proudct is about 5 explain your reasiong

9514 1404 393

  5/8 or 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction will be exactly ...

  5/(8 1/2) = 10/17   ⇒   (8 1/2)×(10/17) = 5

__

The fraction will be approximately ...

  5/8 or 5/9

The denominator will be a number that makes (8 1/2)/(denominator) ≈ 1. For that denominator, the numerator will be 5, so that we have ...

  (8 1/2) × (5/denominator) ≈ 5

  (8 1/2)/(denominator) ≈ 1 .  . . . . . . . divide by 5

If we want the denominator to be an integer, we could choose either 8 or 9. If we choose 8, the result will be slightly more than 5; if we choose 9, the result will be slightly less.

  (8 1/2) × (5/8) = 5.3125 ≈ 5

  (8 1/2) × (5/9) = 4.722... ≈ 5

Either 5/8 or 5/9 will give a product of about 5.

i need an answer for this question too

Step-by-step explanation:

none of the option is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

it says to find which expression equals 9^3 sqrt 10 = ?

9^3 sqrt 10 = 729 sqrt 10.

checking option a. 5 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

5 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

= 9 sqrt 10.

checking option b. 5^3 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

5^3 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

= 125 sqrt 10 + 64 sqrt 10

= 189 sqrt 10.

checking option c. 5 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

5 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

= 5 sqrt 10 + 64 sqrt 10

= 69 sqrt 10.

checking option d. 5^3 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

5^3 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

= 125 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

= 129 sqrt 10.

hence, none of the option is correct.

correct answer:

i^31 = -i
