Which of the following is a mixed number?
\(1 {2 \over 5} \)
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
A joint created by welding is __________ the original metal.
as strong or stronger than
The joint created by welding is as strong or stronger than the original metal.
Alex loaned Charlie $300 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $300
i = 0.06 x $300
i = $18
This circuit component symbol represents a(n):
capacitor
Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
pulmonary
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?
The formula for area is πr2:
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
The farad is a unit of measurement for:
