Onen way, is to know that
if a=b and c=d, then a/c=b/d, and thn (a/c)(d/b)=1

the real way would be to make denomenators the same

one way would be to firs assume they are equal then show it is false
1/2=2/5
times right sides by 5/5 and left by 2/2
5/10=4/10
times 10 both sides
5=4
flase

it is not equal

If you were to make the denominators equivalent, you'd see they aren't equivalent.

1/2=5/10

2/5=4/10

...Hope that helps

Consider the functions below. f(x, y, z) = x i − z j + y k r(t) = 4t i + 6t j − t2 k (a) evaluate the line integral c f · dr, wh

fredd [130]

With

$\vec r(t)=4t\,\vec\imath+6t\,\vec\jmath-t^2\,\vec k$

we have

$\mathrm d\vec r=(4\,\vec\imath+6\,\vec\jmath-2t\,\vec k)\,\mathrm dt$

The vector field evaluated over this parameterization is

$\vec f(x,y,z)=\vec f(x(t),y(t),z(t))=4t\,\vec\imath+t^2\,\vec\jmath+6t\,\vec k$

so the line integral is

$\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1(4t\,\vec\imath+t^2\,\vec\jmath+6t\,\vec k)\cdot(4\,\vec\imath+6\,\vec\jmath-2t\,\vec k)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1(16t+6t^2-12t^2)\,\mathrm dt=-4$

What 2/10 repensnets in percent form?

Sonja [21]

2/10 represents 20 percent, as 10 is 100% because it is the Max, so something like 4/10 would be considered 40%
