Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3x^2-3}{x^2-5x+4}$ ( factorise numerator and denominator )

3x² - 3 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(x² - 1²) ← x² - 1 is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

x² - 1

= x² - 1²

= (x - 1)(x + 1) , then

3x² - 3 = 3²(x - 1)(x + 1) ← in factored form

--------------------------------

x² - 5x + 4

consider the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

the factors are - 1 and - 4 , since

- 1 × - 4 = + 4 and - 1 - 4 = - 5 , then

x² - 5x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 4)

then

$\frac{3x^2-3}{x^2-5x+4}$ = $\frac{3(x-1)(x+1)}{(x-1)(x-4)}$ ← in factored form

Answer is C weak negavite

weak, because as the value became smaller that 1 the correlation weakens. negavite because it is a negative value (-0.23)

The sum of two numbers is 62, and their difference is 12. What are the numbers?

nordsb [41]

X+y=62 ; x-y=12 Solve for x in one equation and plug that value into the other equation. ===> x=12+y ; 12+y+y=62 Subtract 12 to both sides (2y=50), then divide by 2 to find y (y=25). Now, plug 25 as y into x=12+y, getting x=37. Your two numbers are 37 and 25.

Select the correct answer. Which expression is equivalent to 8x^2^3 sqrt 375x + 2^3 sqrt 3x^7, if x=0?

natima [27]

Answer:

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =28x^3\sqrt{3x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is poorly formatted. The original question is:

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7$

We have:

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7$

Open bracket

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =(8^ \frac{2}{3} *x^{3* \frac{2}{3}}) \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}$

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =(8^ \frac{2}{3} *x^2) \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}$

Express 8 as 2^3

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =(2^{3* \frac{2}{3}} *x^2) \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}$

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =(2^2 *x^2) \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}$

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =4x^2 \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}$

Express 2^3 as 8

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}=4x^2 \sqrt{75x^3} + 8\sqrt{ 3x^7}$

Expand each exponent

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}=4x^2 \sqrt{25x^2 *3x} + 8\sqrt{ 3x * x^6}$

Split

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7}=4x^2 \sqrt{25x^2} *\sqrt{3x} + 8\sqrt{3x} * \sqrt{x^6}$

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =4x^2 *5x *\sqrt{3x} + 8\sqrt{3x} * x^3$

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =20x^3\sqrt{3x} + 8x^3\sqrt{3x}$

Factorize

$(8x^3)^ \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{75x^3} + 2^3 \sqrt{ 3x^7} =28x^3\sqrt{3x}$
