I have the answer, 2-(3/x+2)

Marat540 [252]

Start with the answer format we want, and work your way toward forming a single fraction like so

$a + \frac{b}{x+2}\\\\a*1+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\a*\frac{x+2}{x+2}+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{a(x+2)}{x+2}+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{a(x+2)+b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{ax+2a+b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{ax+(2a+b)}{x+2}\\\\$

Compare that last expression to (2x+1)/(x+2). Notice how the ax and 2x match up, so a = 2 must be the case.

Then we have 2a+b as the remaining portion in the numerator. Plugging in a = 2 leads to 2a+b = 2*2+b = 4+b. Set this equal to the +1 found in (2x+1)/(x+2) to have the terms match.

So, 4+b = 1 leads to b = -3

Therefore, a = 2 and b = -3

------------------------------------------------

An alternative route:

$\frac{2x+1}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2x+1+0}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2x+1+4-4}{x+2}\\\\\frac{(2x+4)+1-4}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)-3}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{x+2}+\frac{-3}{x+2}\\\\2-\frac{3}{x+2}\\\\$

I added and subtracted 4 in the third step so that I could form 2x+4, which then factors to 2(x+2). That way I could cancel out a pair of (x+2) terms toward the very end.

------------------------------------------------

Other alternative methods involve synthetic division or polynomial long division. They are slightly separate but related concepts.

Determine whether the following propositions are true or false:

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) false

b) true

c) true

d) true

e) false

Step-by-step explanation:

In a statement of the type:

p ∧ q

where ∧ means "and"

The statement is true only if both p and q are true

the statement is false if p, q, or both, are false.

and in the case of:

p ∨ q

where ∨ means "or"

The statement is true if at least one of p or q (or both) are true.

The statement is false if both are false.

Now that we know that, let's solve the problem:

a) "5 is an odd number and 3 is a negative number."

Here we have:

p = 5 is an odd number

We know that this is true

q = 3 is a negative number

This is false.

then the complete statement is false.

b) "5 is an odd number or 3 is a negative number."

here we have:

p = 5 is an odd number.

this is true

q = 3 is a negative number

because in this case we have an "or", with only p being true, the whole statement is true.

c) "8 is an odd number or 4 is not an odd number."

p = 8 is an odd number (this is false)

q = 4 is not an odd number (this is true, 4 is a even number)

Again, we have an "or", so we need only one true proposition, then the statement is true.

d) "6 is an even number and 7 is odd or negative."

p = 6 is an even number (true)

q = 7 is odd or negative (notice that we have an or, and 7 is odd is true, so this proposition is true)

Then both propositions are true, then the statement is true.

e) "It is not true that either 7 is an odd number or 8 is an even number (or both)."

This is most complex, this will be true if at least one of the propositions is false.

but:

7 is an odd number is true

8 is an even number is true.

Then both statements are true, which means that the statement is false.

Construct a mathematical model for the following real-life situations(make a table)

zhenek [66]

The mathematical model representing the scenarios described can be expressed as follows :

If n ≤ 8 ; A(n) = 31.25n
If n > 8 ; A(n) = 31.25 + 46.875(n - 8)

T(n) = 15 + 5(n - 1)

1.)

Amount paid per 8 hours at summer job = 250

Additional hours beyond, 8 hours = 1.5 × hourly rate

Let:

hourly rate = p
Number of hours worked = n
Amount earned as a function of n, A(n)

Hourly rate, p = (250 ÷ 8) = 31.25

Therefore, the hourly rate, p at the summer job = $31.25

Overtime pay = 1.5 × 31.25 = $46.875

Therefore,

If n ≤ 8 ; A(n) = 31.25n

If n > 8 ; A(n) = 31.25 + 46.875(n - 8)

2.)

Let :

Number of playing hours = n
Total amount charged as a function of n ; T(n)

Therefore,

T(n) = First hour fee + (charge per additional hour × number of additional hours)

T(n) = 15 + 5(n - 1)

Therefore, the models can be used to calculate the total earning and amount charged for any given hour value.
