Answer:

The correct answer is option C. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression in variable x

(x² + 3x²)/(x + 1) ÷ (x² - 9)/(3x + 3) * (x - 3)/x

<u>To find the simplified answer</u>

x² + 3x² = x(x + 3)

x² - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3)

The given expression can be written as,

(x² + 3x²)/(x + 1) ÷ (x² - 9)/(3x + 3) * (x - 3)/x

= x(x + 3)/(x + 1) * 3(x + 1)/(x + 1)(x - 1) * (x -3)/x

=[ x(x +3) * 3(x +1) * (x -3)]/[(x + 1) * (x + 3)(x - 3) *x]

= 3

The correct answer is option C. 3

For waht values of x do the vectors -1,0,-1), (2,1,2), (1,1, x) form a basis for R3?

DaniilM [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The values of x for which the given vectors are basis for R³ is:

$x\neq 1$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that for a set of vectors are linearly independent if the matrix formed by these set of vectors is non-singular i.e. the determinant of the matrix formed by these vectors is non-zero.

We are given three vectors as:

(-1,0,-1), (2,1,2), (1,1, x)

The matrix formed by these vectors is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2&1\\0&1&1\\-1&2&x\end{array}\right]$

Now, the determinant of this matrix is:

$\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 & 1\\ 0& 1 & 1\\ -1 & 2 & x\end{vmatrix}=-1(x-2)-2(1)+1\\\\\\\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 & 1\\ 0& 1 & 1\\ -1 & 2 & x\end{vmatrix}=-x+2-2+1\\\\\\\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 & 1\\ 0& 1 & 1\\ -1 & 2 & x\end{vmatrix}=-x+1$

Hence,

$-x+1\neq 0\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\x\neq 1$

After working 6 hours Kevin earned $51.00 what is Kevin unit rate

Kay [80]

The unit rate is found by dividing the amount earned by the number of hours worked. So

unit rate = amount earned / number of hours worked = 51 / 6 = $8.5 / hour
