Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The fractional equivalent of the decimal number 5.875 is 5 7/8. This is found by converting the decimal part of the number to a fraction (0.875 becomes 875/1000), simplifying it to the lowest form (7/8), and tacking it onto the whole number part (5).

Explanation:

The fraction equivalent to the decimal number 5.875 feet can be obtained by understanding decimal placement and fractions. A fraction represents a part of a whole and in decimal numbers, the place value after decimal point represents tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on. Looking at the decimal number 5.875, the three digits after the decimal represent the thousandth place.

So, convert 875 thousandths to a fraction. In fraction form, it would thus be 875/1000. However, we simplify to get the equivalent fraction by dividing both the numerator (875) and the denominator (1000) by their greatest common divisor (GCD) which is 125. Hence, 875 divided by 125 gives 7, and 1000 divided by 125 gives 8. Consequently, the fraction for 0.875 is 7/8.

Therefore, 5.875 feet is equal to 5 7/8 feet in fractional form.

The area of the diagonal section of a cube is equal to 36Ì2. Determine the edge and the diagonal of the cube.? please help me thank you :)

Answers

The answer is the edge of the cube is 6 and the diagonal of the cube is 6√3
 
The diagonal section of a cube is a rectangle with sides a and x, where a is the edge of the cube, and x is a diagonal of a side of the cube. Therefore, the area of a diagonal section (A) is:
A = a * x
Now, a = ? and x = ?, but we know that the side of the cube is square and its diagonal is x = a√2.

So, we have:
A =  36√2
a = ?
x = a√2

Let's substitute all parameters in the formula for the area:
A = a * x
36√2 = a * a√2

Divide both sides by √2:
36 = a * a
36 = a²
⇒ a =√36 = 6

The diagonal of the cube can be calculated by using the formula: d = a√3
Since a = 6, then:d = 6√3

Therefore, the edge of the cube is 6 and the diagonal of the cube is 6√3.

For the love of God help me !! I'm desperate for it tomorrow

Answers

Try to relax.  Your desperation has surely progressed to the point where
you're unable to think clearly, and to agonize over it any further would only
cause you more pain and frustration.
I've never seen this kind of problem before.  But I arrived here in a calm state,
having just finished my dinner and spent a few minutes rubbing my dogs, and
I believe I've been able to crack the case.

Consider this:  (2)^a negative power = (1/2)^the same power but positive.

So: 
Whatever power (2) must be raised to, in order to reach some number 'N',
the same number 'N' can be reached by raising (1/2) to the same power
but negative.

What I just said in that paragraph was:  log₂ of(N) = - log(base 1/2) of (N) .
I think that's the big breakthrough here.
The rest is just turning the crank.

Now let's look at the problem:

log₂(x-1) + log(base 1/2) (x-2) = log₂(x)

Subtract  log₂(x)  from each side: 

log₂(x-1) - log₂(x) + log(base 1/2) (x-2) = 0

Subtract  log(base 1/2) (x-2)  from each side:

log₂(x-1) - log₂(x)  =  - log(base 1/2) (x-2)  Notice the negative on the right.

The left side is the same as  log₂[ (x-1)/x  ]

==> The right side is the same as  +log₂(x-2)

Now you have:  log₂[ (x-1)/x  ]  =  +log₂(x-2)

And that ugly [ log to the base of 1/2 ] is gone.

Take the antilog of each side:

(x-1)/x = x-2

Multiply each side by 'x' :  x - 1 = x² - 2x

Subtract (x-1) from each side:

x² - 2x - (x-1) = 0

x² - 3x + 1 = 0

Using the quadratic equation, the solutions to that are
x = 2.618
and
x = 0.382 .

I think you have to say that x=2.618 is the solution to the original
log problem, and 0.382 has to be discarded, because there's an
(x-2) in the original problem, and (0.382 - 2) is negative, and
there's no such thing as the log of a negative number.


There,now.  Doesn't that feel better.
