Let $x$ be the smallest number in the following list, and let $y$ be the second smallest number (that is, the smallest number other than $x$). \[ 5, \qquad -22, \qquad \frac{-4}{7}, \qquad \frac{-3}{-5}, \qquad 3, \qquad \frac{-8}{13} \]Find $\frac{x-y}{y}$. Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

139/4

Step-by-step explanation:

and find that\[

\frac{4}{7}\cdot \frac{13}{13} = \frac{4\cdot 13}{91}=\frac{52}{91}, \text{and}

\]\[

\frac{8}{13}\cdot \frac{7}{7} = \frac{8\cdot 7}{91} = \frac{56}{91}.

\]Thus $\frac{8}{13}$ is larger than $\frac{4}{7}$, which tells us that $-\frac{8}{13}$ is smaller than $-\frac{4}{7}$. Thus, $x=-22$, $y=-\frac{8}{13}$, and\begin{align*}

\frac{x-y}{y}&=\frac{-22-\left(-\frac{8}{13}\right)}{-\frac{8}{13}}\\

&=\left(-22\cdot \frac{13}{13}+\left(\frac{8}{13}\right)\right)\cdot \left(-\frac{13}{8}\right)\\

&=\left(\frac{-286+8}{13}\right)\cdot \left(-\frac{13}{8}\right)\\

&=\left(-\frac{278}{13}\right)\cdot \left(-\frac{13}{8}\right)\\

&=\boxed{\frac{139}{4}}.

\end{align*}

what is soil erosion​

Answers

Answer:

Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such as wind and water. In this process, the soil particles are loosened or washed away in the valleys, oceans, rivers, streams or far away lands.

It occurs when the impact of water or wind separates and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide.

Equation of the line is y = 4x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

slope, m = 4

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

consider (-3, 7):

[tex]7 = (4 \times - 3) + c \\ 7 = - 12 + c \\ c = 19[/tex]

equation:

[tex]y = 4x + 19[/tex]

Answer:

y = 4x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 4x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 4

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 7) into the partial equation

7 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 7 + 12 = 19

y = 4x + 19 ← equation of parallel line

find H.C.F OF 4x²y and xy²​

Answers

Answer:

xy

Step-by-step explanation:

The HCF is known as the highest common factor. To find the HCF of two values, we have to take the greatest number that fits into all of their factors.

To start, we can list each value's factors.

For 4x²y, this can also be written as 4*x²*y = 4*x*x*y. In multiplication, we can take the factors of each value that is multiplied. Therefore, we can start with the factors of 4 and then go to the factors of x² and so on. Our factor list is thus 1,2,4,x,x²,y

Similarly, for xy² = x*y*y, our factors are x, y, and y²

The common factors for each of these are x and y. Assuming all values are positive and greater than 1, the x*y will be greater than either x or y. Therefore, the highest common factor would be x*y = xy

Round the number 553 to the tens place.
is it 550? because 3 is less than 5 so I replace it with a 0

Answers

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 553 to the tens place, we would need to identify the value of the digit in the ones place.

If the digit in the ones place is greater than 5, we increase the tens place by 1 & convert the ones place into a 0.

If not, we leave the tens place as is & convert the ones place into a 0.

Since 3 is less than 5, we round 553 to 550 so you are correct.

Yes

   = sqrt( (3-7)^2 + (8 - -1)^2)

I'm pretty confused can someone explain it to me? I will give branliest

Answers

Answer:

[tex]7\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this expression:

34÷(14-5)×2

And we want to evaluate it

We'll be using the order of operations

Depending on the country you're in, the acronym can be different, but in the US, the typical acronym used for the order of operations is PEMDAS, or Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction

The order of operations states that we should start with any expressions in parentheses

In this case, it's (14-5), which is equal to 9

The expression now becomes

34÷9×2

There are no exponents, so let's skip that

Now this is where it gets tricky:

Based on the acronym alone, we should be doing 9*2 next, however, we should always work left to right, even if in a case like this, we'll be doing division instead of multiplication

Divide 34 by 9

[tex]\frac{34}{9}[/tex]×2

Now multiply [tex]\frac{34}{9}[/tex] by 2

[tex]\frac{68}{9}[/tex]

(as a mixed fraction, it's 7[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex])
