I have to rewrite the expressions because they look very confusing.

1) The given fractions to add are:

4p² + 6 2p - 2
------------ + ------------
 4p² 10p²

2) The statements to asses are:

A) The least common denominator is 20p
.
B) The first fraction rewritten with the LCD is (20p² +30) / 20p²

C) The second fraction rewritten with the LCD is (4p - 4) / 20p

D) The sum is (24p² -4p +30 ) / 20p² = (12p-2p+15) / 10p^2

E) The sum is a rational expression.

This is the result for each statement.


A) The least common denominator is 20p

FALSE: THE LCD IS 20p², because it the least expression that contains all the prime factors of both denominators: 4p² and 10p.

See that you cannot divide 20p by 4p² but you can divide 20p² by 4p² and 10 p. So, 20p is not a common denominator.
.
B) The first fraction rewritten with the LCD is (20p² +30) / 20p²

TRUE: you get this expression from the first fraction by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 20p² / 4p² = 5:

(4p² + 6)×5 = 20p² + 30

(4p²)×5 = 20p²

=>

20p² + 30
--------------
 20p²

C) The second fraction rewritten with the LCD is (4p - 4) / 20p

FALSE: you have to multiply both numerator an denominator by 20p² / 10p = 2p

(2p - 2) × 2p = 4p² - 4p

10p × 2p = 20p²

So, the second fraction rewritten with the LCD is:

4p² - 4p
-----------
 20p²

D) The sum is (24p² - 4p +30 ) / 20p² = (12p-2p+15) / 10p²

TRUE


 20p² + 30 4p² - 4p 24p² - 4p + 30
-------------- + --------------- = ----------------------
 20p² 20p² 20p²

And when you simplify the last fraction dividing by 2 you get:

12p² - 2p + 15
-----------------------
 10p²

E) The sum is a rational expression.

TRUE:

The sum of rational number has the closure property which means that by adding rational expression you will always ge a rational expression.

The price of an item has been reduced by 85% . The original price was $45. What is the price of the item now.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:the price for the item now it's 6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Origin price is 45=100% after reduction comes to 85% =x

X stands for the unknown value of the reduction therefore

45=100%

X=85%

45*.85=100x

After calculation you realised the value of x reduction value it's 38.25

Hence, original price is 45 your less from the value reduced 38.25 therefore the value of the item is 6.75

In 2000 the number of students enrolled at Arlington County day school was 823 students in 2010 the population was approximately

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

enrollment decreases by 14.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that number of students enrolled in 2000 = 823

Given that number of students enrolled in 2010 = 705

705 is less than 823 so that means number of students enrollment is decreasing.

Decrease = 823-705 = 118

Percent decrease is given by formula:

$Percent =\frac{part}{whole}\cdot100 =\frac{118}{823}\cdot100= 14.3377885784$

which is approx 14.34%.

Hence final answer is that enrollment decreases by 14.34%

How do the constant of proportionality and slope relate to the unit rate

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

When a relationship is proportional, all y over x ratios simplify to the slope of the line which is the constant of proportionality or the unit rate, with one as a denominator. Example: Consider the equation y = 60x. The slope is 60. The rate of change is 60 units for every one unit.

Hello I need help Finding the probability

Stolb23 [73]

Each petal of the region $R$ is the intersection of two circles, both of diameter 10. Each petal in turn is twice the area of a circular segment bounded by a chord of length $5\sqrt2$ , which implies the segment is subtended by an angle of $\dfrac\pi2$ . This means the area of the segment is

$\text{area}_{\text{segment}}=\text{area}_{\text{sector}}-\text{area}_{\text{triangle}}$
$\text{area}_{\text{segment}}=\dfrac{25\pi}4-\dfrac{25}2$

This means the area of one petal is $\dfrac{25\pi}2-25$ , and the area of $R$ is four times this, or $50\pi-100$ .

Meanwhile, the area of $G$ is simply the area of the square minus the area of $R$ , or $10^2-(50\pi-100)=200-50\pi$ .

So

$\mathbb P(X=R)=\dfrac{50\pi-100}{100}=\dfrac\pi2-1$
$\mathbb P(X=G)=\dfrac{200-50\pi}{100}=2-\dfrac\pi2$
$\mathbb P((X=R)\land(X=G))=0$ (provided these regions are indeed disjoint; it's hard to tell from the picture)
$\mathbb P((X=R)\lor(X=G))=\mathbb P(X=R)+\mathbb P(X=G)=1$
