Which is greater 1/9 or 1/8

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 1/8 is greater than 1/9 , because 1 is being divided by a smaller number and hence the result would be bigger than when that same 1 is divided by a bigger number as 9.

OR

1/9           1/8            Cross Multiply

8*1            9*1

8                9

8      <        9

Implies that  1/9 is less than 1/8 and hence 1/8 is greater than 1/9.  
 

OR

Use your calculator and convert both to decimal

1/9            1/8

0.111..        0.125

You can see that 1/8 is greater than 1/9.

Hello,

f(x)=x²+9x
g(x)=(x+5)²

g(f(x))=g(x²+9x)=((x²+9x)+5)²=(x²+9x+5)²=x^4+81x²+25+2*x²*9x +2*x²*5 +2*9x*5
=x^4+18x^3+91x²+90x+25

I think 11 is yes, if the parent is 40 and the child is 20. (and they had kids when they were young) 12 is yes, if the parent is 30 and the child is 10. 13 is yes, if the parent is 60 and the child is 40. unlikely though, but who cares. 14 is no, the parent would have been really young when they gave birth to the child. like 10.

He number of 90° angles formed by the intersections of and the two parallel lines and is .

Answers

Answer:

When you will draw two parallel lines , and a Transversal cutting it

The Transversal may cut the parallel lines in two ways

(a)The Transversal may be perpendicular to two lines

(b) The Transversal may cut the two parallel lines which are not perpendicular.

In both the cases , 8 angles will be formed and sum of all the angles will be 720°.

When you will consider case a , there will be exactly 8 right angles.

When you will consider case b, there will be no angle equal to 90°, but sum of total angle is 720°, which will be equal to 8 right angles.

A line perpendicular to the two parallel lines would create 8 right angles.
