Simplifying the rational expression "<span>-12x^3/x^3-5x^4" involves cancelling out the terms or variables that are common or present in each term. For this example, the common term is "x^3". So for the first step, bring out all of the x^3 terms. This gives:

-->   -12x^3/x^3(1-5x)

Since this is a fraction, the x^3 can be cancelled out from the numerator and denominator.

final answer --> -12/(1-5x)</span>

Whats 9 discount to 4
daser333 [38]
<span>What’s 9 discount to 4
let’s analyze the given data. 9 is the 100% and 4 is the discount. Thus we have 5 left.
=> 9 – 4 = 5
To get the answer, let’s divide the discount amount to the total amount which is 4 and 9
=> 4 / 9 = 0.44
Since we already have the decimal value, let’s multiply this by 100%
=> 0.44 *100% = 44%
Thus the discount is 44%. And what is remaining is:
=> 100% - 44% = 66%</span>

Lin is playing hand ball and wants the ball
olga2289 [7]

Lin should aim the ball at 7.8 feet away from point  B

From the question (see attachment), we have the following equivalent ratios:

AB : BE = DC :CE

This is so because triangles ABE and DCE are similar triangles.

Such that:

BE + CE = 20

AB = 16

DC = 16 + 9 = 25

So, we have:

AB : BE = DC :CE

16 : BE = 25: CE

Make CE the subject in BE + CE = 20

CE=20 - BE

Substitute 20 - BE for CE in 16 : BE = 25: CE

16 : BE = 25: 20 - BE

Express as ratio

\frac{16 }{ BE} = \frac{25}{ 20 - BE}

Cross multiply

16(20 - BE) = 25BE

Open bracket

320 - 16BE = 25BE

Collect like terms

25BE + 16BE = 320

41BE = 320

Divide both sides by 41

BE = 7.8

Hence, she should aim at 7.8 feet away from point  B

How do I find the missing side length?
kykrilka [37]
Adjacent side to angle 60º=2/3
opposite side to angle 60º=b
hypotenuse=a

cos 60º= adjacent side / hypotenuse
cos 60º=(2/3) /  a
a=(2/3) / cos 60º=(2/3) / (1/2)=4/3

tan 60º= opposite side / adjacent side
tan 60º=b / (2/3)
b=(2/3)*tan 60º=(2/3)* √3=2√3 /3

Answer:
a=4/3
b=2√3 /3
