2 answers:

3 0

Answer – True A rational expression is undefined whenever its denominator is zero. By definition, a rational expression is an expression that can be in the form x/y where x and y are integers and y is not equal to zero. This definition of a rational expression strictly excludes denominators of zero. <span>

Which operation results in an expression equivalent to ? 23y^4 - 6y^3 + 35y^2 - 20y

Tom [10]

Answer:

D. P + Q

Explanation:

Given:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Required:

Determine which operation will give an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

SOLUTION:

Perform each operation given to see which of them gives an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

Q - P:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Q - P = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

(5y²(3y² + 7) -4y(3y² + 7)) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

Open parentheses

15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y - 8y⁴ - 6y³ - 8y

Collect like terms

15y⁴ - 8y⁴ - 12y³ - 6y³ + 35y² - 28y - 8y

7y⁴ - 18y³ + 35y² - 36y

Therefore, P - Q does not give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

PQ:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

PQ = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

=(8y⁴(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) +6y³(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) +8y(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y))

= 120y⁸ . . . . .

Note: You don't need to perform this operation further anymore. It would definitely not give us the equivalent expression we are looking for. The degree of the leading term (120y⁸) is way too greater than the degree of the leading term (23y⁴) of the equivalent expression we are looking for.

Thus, PQ cannot give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

P - Q:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

P - Q = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y) - (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

Open parentheses

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y - 15y⁴ - 35y² + 12y³ + 28y

Collect like terms

8y⁴ - 15y⁴ + 6y³ + 12y³ - 35y² + 8y + 28y

-7y⁴ + 18y³ - 35y² + 36y

Therefore, P - Q cannot give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

P + Q:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

P + Q = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y) + (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

Open parentheses

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y + 15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y

Collect like terms

8y⁴ + 15y⁴ + 6y³ - 12y³ + 35y² + 8y - 28y

23y³ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y

Therefore, P + Q will result in an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 3pi/5 radians and a diameter of 21.2cm

Elenna [48]

Answer: 105.84 cm^2

To find the answer, first you have to start by finding the percent of the circle in the sector. Convert the radians given to 108 degrees. 108 out of 360 is 30%.

Now, find the area of the circle. It's pi x r^2, so the area is 352.810.

Multiply this by 30% to find our area of 105.84 cm^2

The population of weights of a particular fruit is normally distributed, with a mean of 535 grams and a standard deviation of 13

Savatey [412]

Pn(Z>zp)=1−p%

Given a variable X following a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ, the area below the curve that corresponds to all values that are less than a that is, X<a

is the probability P(X<a). This probability is usually calculated by converting the variable X to a standard normal variable Z (forming z scores) defined by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

The variable Z follows the standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

The standard normal probabilities are typically found by using the standard normal tables or other computational means such as calculators or software.

Pn(Z>zp)=1−p%

Here Pn is the probability for the standard normal variable.

Daniel made 6 out of 15 free throw shots. About how many out of the next 10 free throw shots would you expect him to make

mixer [17]

6÷15= 0.4= his percentage at the line
0.4×100%= 40%
(x represents how much he makes in 10 shots) x/10 = 40/100 (Percent from the line)
cross multiply 100x=400
isolate x
100x÷100= 400÷100
x=4
I predict that daniel will make 4 shots out of ten
