The product in simplest form is (x - 4)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

\frac{8}{2x+8} \times \frac{x^2-16}{4}

We have to find the product in simplest form

In the given expression,

2x + 8 = 2(x+ 4)

We know that,

a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Therefore,

x^2-16 = x^2-4^2 =(x+4)(x-4)

Substitute these in given expression

\frac{8}{2(x+4)} \times \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4}

Cancel the common factors,

\frac{8}{2(x+4)} \times \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4} = x - 4

Thus the product in simplest form is (x - 4)

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The rental cost of one movie is $2.25 and the rental cost of one video game is $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rental cost of 1 movie be m.

Let the rental cost of 1 video game be v.

One month, Tammy rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total of $42. This means that:

2m + 6v = 42 ________ (1)

The next month she rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $30. This means that:

5m + 3v = 30 _________(2)

We now have two simultaneous equations:

2m + 6v = 42 ________ (1)

5m + 3v = 30 _________(2)

Multiply (2) by 2, and we have:

2m + 6v = 42 __________ (1)

10m + 6v = 60 _________ (3)

Subtract (1) from (3):

 10m + 6v = 60

-<u> 2m + 6v = 42</u>

 <u>  8m     =     18</u>

=> m = 18 / 8

m = $2.25

Put the value of m back in (1):

2(2.25) + 6v = 42

4.5 + 6v = 42

=> 6v = 42 - 4.5 = 37.5

v = 37.5 / 6

v = $6.25

Therefore, the rental cost of one movie is $2.25 and the rental cost of one video game is $6.25

The radius of a sphere is multiplied by . What effect does this have on the volume of the sphere? A. The volume of the sphere is
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Option A. The volume of the sphere is multiplied by 1/343.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere can be obtained by the following formula:

V = 4/3πr^3

Let the initial volume (V1) of the sphere be:

V1 = 4/3πr^3 = (4πr^3)/3

Now, if we multiply the radius by 1/7, then the new volume (V2) of the sphere will be:

V2 = 4/3 x π x (1/7r)^3

V2 = 4/3 x π x 1/343r^3

V2 = (4πr^3)/1029

Now we determine the ratio of V2 : V1 as shown below:

V2/V1 = (4πr^3)/1029 ÷ (4πr^3)/3

V2/V1 = (4πr^3)/1029 × 3/(4πr^3)

V2/V1 = 3/1029

V2/V1 = 1/343

V2 = 1/343 x V1

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is multiplied by 1/343.
