Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined.

equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.

x² - 7x - 18 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 9)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

then

x = - 2, x = 9 ← are the excluded values

If f(x) = 2(x − 5), find f(8).

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(x-5)

f(8) = 2(8-5)

parentheses comes first so, 8-5 = 3
2(3), so multiply and the final answer is 6

f(8) = 6

Which values of a, b, and c correctly represent the answer in simplest form? 3 and one-half divided by 2 and one-fourth = a Star

sasho [114]

Answer:

(A) a=1,b=5,c=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify $3\frac{1}{2} \div 2\frac{1}{4}$ for values of a, b and c which satisfies: $a\dfrac{b}{c}$

$3\dfrac{1}{2} \div 2\dfrac{1}{4}\\\text{Changing each fraction to improper fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}\div \dfrac{9}{4}\\\text{Next, we change the division sign to multiplication by taking reciprocal of the second fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}X \frac{4}{9}\\=\dfrac{7X4}{2X9}\\=\dfrac{28}{18}\\$ Converting our result to mixed fraction
