Answer:

See explanation below for further details.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational consist of two real numbers such that:

\frac{a}{b} =c

If c is a polynomial with a certain grade, then, both the numerator and the denominator must be also polynomials and the grade of the numerator must be greater than denominator.

If c is linear function, that is, a first order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example:

If a = x^{2} and b = x, then:

c = \frac{x^{2}}{x}

c = x

If c is a quadratic function, that is, a second order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example

If a = 3\cdot x^{3} and b = x, then:

c = \frac{3\cdot x^{3}}{x}

c = 3\cdot x^{2}

But if c is an exponential, both the numerator and the denominator must be therefore exponential function and grade of each exponential function must different to the other.

Example

If a = 10^{2x} and b = 3\cdot 10^x, then:

c = \frac{10^{2\cdot x}}{3\cdot 10^{x}}

c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^{2\cdot x -x}

c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^x

Otherwise, c would be equal to a constant function, that is, a polynomial with a grade 0.

If a = 5\cdot e^{x} and b = -3\cdot e^{x}, then:

Example

c = \frac{5\cdot e^{x}}{-3\cdot e^{x}}

c = -\frac{5}{3}

It is worth to add that exponential functions can be a linear combination of single exponential function, similar to polynomials.

Example

5\cdot a^2\cdot x -9

tester [92]

Answer:

A. 3.15c + 0.82f

Step-by-step explanation:

c pounds of cashews for $3.15 = 3.15c

f pounds of flour for $0.82 = 0.82f

then, the expression can be used to determine the total cost is:

A. 3.15c + 0.82f

A jacket that is regularly sold for $49.95 is on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price of the jacket?
Gnoma [55]

First, find 25% of 49.95. Turn 25% into a decimal by dividing by 100.

25% ⇒ 0.25

Now, multiply 0.25 by 49.95.

0.25 × 49.95 = 12.46

25% of 49.95 is 12.46, so subtract 12.46 from 49.95.

49.95 - 12.46 = 37.49

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The discounted price of the jacket is </u><u>$37.49</u><u>.</u>

Now find 8% of 37.49.

8% ⇒ 0.08

Multiply 0.08 by 37.49.

0.08 × 37.49 = 2.99

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The tax is </u><u>$2.99</u><u>.</u>

To find the full price, add 37.49 and 2.99 together.

37.49 + 2.99 = 40.48

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The final cost is </u><u>$40.48</u><u>.</u>
