Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of the rational expression x/x2-9 when x = –3

Rational expression is $\frac{x}{x^2-9}$

To find the value of the rational expression at x=-3 , we plug in -3 for x

$\frac{x}{x^2-9}$

$\frac{-3}{(-3)^2-9}$

$\frac{-3}{9-9}$

$\frac{-3}{0}$

When the denominator becomes 0 then the expression is undefined

You're answer is D.
-3/-3(2)-9
1(2)-9
2-9
7
so it is D

The ratio of buckets of yellow paint to buckets of red paint in the store is 3 to 4. There are 60 buckets of yellow paint. How m

morpeh [17]

Answer:

80 buckets of red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of buckets of yellow paint to buckets of red paint in the store to be 3:4

Total ratio = 3 + 4 = 7

Amount of yellow paint = 60

Required

Amount of red paint.

First get the total amount of paint used.

3/7 * x = 60

x is the total paint used

3x/7 = 60

3x = 7*60

x = 420/3

x = 140 buckets of paint

Amount of red paint = Total - Amount of yellow paint

Amount of red paint = 140 - 60

Amount of red paint = 80

Hence there are 80 buckets of red paint in the store

Can someone help me please

Lisa [10]

Answer:

perimeter is 12x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is the sum of all sides

3(x+2) + 2x+11 + 7x-23

distribute the 3 in the first term, then combine 'like terms'

3x+6 + 2x+11 + 7x-23

3x+2x+7x + 6+11+(-23)

12x-6

Let,
f(x) = -2x+34
g(x) = (-x/3) - 10
h(x) = -|3x|
k(x) = (x-2)^2

This is a trial and error type of problem (aka "guess and check"). There are 24 combinations to try out for each problem, so it might take a while. It turns out that

g(h(k(f(15)))) = -6
f(k(g(h(8)))) = 2

So the order for part A should be: f, k, h, g
The order for part B should be: h, g, k f
note how I'm working from the right and moving left (working inside and moving out).

Here's proof of both claims

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

Proof of Claim 1:

f(x) = -2x+34
f(15) = -2(15)+34
f(15) = 4
-----------------
k(x) = (x-2)^2
k(f(15)) = (f(15)-2)^2
k(f(15)) = (4-2)^2
k(f(15)) = 4
-----------------
h(x) = -|3x|
h(k(f(15))) = -|3*k(f(15))|
h(k(f(15))) = -|3*4|
h(k(f(15))) = -12
-----------------
g(x) = (-x/3) - 10
g(h(k(f(15))) ) = (-h(k(f(15))) /3) - 10
g(h(k(f(15))) ) = (-(-12) /3) - 10
g(h(k(f(15))) ) = -6

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

Proof of Claim 2:

h(x) = -|3x|
h(8) = -|3*8|
h(8) = -24
---------------
g(x) = (-x/3) - 10
g(h(8)) = (-h(8)/3) - 10
g(h(8)) = (-(-24)/3) - 10
g(h(8)) = -2
---------------
k(x) = (x-2)^2
k(g(h(8))) = (g(h(8))-2)^2
k(g(h(8))) = (-2-2)^2
k(g(h(8))) = 16
---------------
f(x) = -2x+34
f(k(g(h(8))) ) = -2*(k(g(h(8))) )+34
f(k(g(h(8))) ) = -2*(16)+34
f(k(g(h(8))) ) = 2
