The length of the shorter piece is 30

<h3>What are algebraic expressions?</h3>

Algebraic expressions are expressions that are made up of constants, terms, factors and variables.

They also contain mathematical operations such as division, addition, multiplication, subtraction, etc

From the information given, we have;

Let the length of one piece be x

Let of the other piece is 5x

5x + x = 180

collect like terms

6x = 180

Make 'x' the subject

x = 180/ 6

x = 30

Thus, the length of the shorter piece is 30

Find the restricted values of x for the following rational expression. If there are no restricted values of x, indicate "No Rest

melamori03 [73]

Given rational expression is

$-\frac{8x}{8x^2+2x}$

Now we need to find the restricted values if any for this rational expression.

Restricted values means the possible values of the used variable (x) that will make denominator 0 as division by 0 is not defined.

So to find the restricted values, we just set denominator equal to 0 and solve for x

$8x^2+2x=0$

$2x(4x+1)=0$

2x=0 or 4x+1=0

x=0 or 4x=-1

x=0 or x=-1/4

Hence final answer is x=0, -1/4

The expression we have is:

$2xy\cdot xy^2$

And we are given some values for x and y:

$\begin{gathered} x=2 \\ y=4 \end{gathered}$

The first step will be to substitute the given values into the expression:

$2(2)(4)\cdot(2)(4)^2$

The next step is to solve 4^2 which is equal to 16:

$2(2)(4)\cdot(2)(16)$

And then we solve the multiplications, 2(2)(4) is equal to 16 and (2)(16) is equal to 32:

$16\cdot32$

Solving this final multiplication we get the result:

$512$
