The fence encloses at 22 ft2
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.
9/15 - 5/15
Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.
This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.
From the recursive rule
it follows that
and so on. Notice how the subscript on a on the right side and the coefficient multiplied by 13 add up to n (n - 2 + 2 = n; n - 3 + 3 = n; and so on). If we continue the pattern, we'll end up with
so that the explicit rule for the n-th term in the sequence is
This looks fun
ok so
we will use subsitution
xy=-10
divide both sides by x or y (I will choose y)
x=-10/y
sub -10/y fo x
(-10/y)^2+y^2=36
100/(y^2)+y^2=36
times both sides by y^2
100+y^4=36y^2
minus 36y^2 from both sides
y^4-36y^2+100=0
(y^2)^2-36(y^2)+100=0
