I need help with this problem.
Perform the indicated operation.
15-14
_________
(4)(4) 16
Just do what I did on the last equation. First the answer to the top and the bottom then divide it.
1/256
The top is 1 and the bottom should be (4)(4) - 16 which is 0. So, is the answer 1?
Thank you
Well if the bottom is (4)(4)-16
then its undefined.
1/0 is undefined.
Anything with a 0 on the bottom is considered undefined and you can't solve it.
Thank you so much!
whenever there is a 0 on the bottom that means the solution is undefined
however, if the 0 is on top, then the solution is 0 =]
To perform the indicated operation, which is subtraction in this case, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
(4)(4) = 16
Step 2: Subtract the numerator (15 - 14) and divide the result by the denominator (16).
(15 - 14) ÷ 16 = 1 ÷ 16
Step 3: The final answer is 1 ÷ 16 or 1/16.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1/16.
