Answer:

$f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

$\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}$

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

$=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\$

We can now cancel out (x+2)

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}$

Next we factor out even more:

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}$

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}$

And we can now simplify it to:

$=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}$

Find the probability that the mean annual preciptiation will be between 32 and 34 inches. variable is normally distributed

liq [111]

Supposing, for the sake of illustration, that the mean is 31.2 and the std. dev. is 1.9.

This probability can be calculated by finding z-scores and their corresponding areas under the std. normal curve.
34 in - 31.2 in
The area under this curve to the left of z = -------------------- = 1.47 (for 34 in)
1.9
32 in - 31.2 in
and that to the left of 32 in is z = ---------------------- = 0.421
1.9

Know how to use a table of z-scores to find these two areas? If not, let me know and I'll go over that with you.

My TI-83 calculator provided the following result:

normalcdf(32, 34, 31.2, 1.9) = 0.267 (answer to this sample problem)

Four servings of yogurt have 12 grams of protein. What is the number of grams of protein per serving?

tester [92]

If there are 12 grams of protein in all, and 4 servings, in order to get the amount of grams per serving you must divide 12 by 4.

12 divided by 4 = 4.

Therefore, there are 4 grams per serving.

How many Solutions does this system have? (1 point)

mixas84 [53]

The given system of equation that is $2x+y=3$ and $6x=9-3y$ has infinite number of solutions.

Option -C.

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to determine number of solution given system of equation has.

$\begin{array}{l}{2 x+y=3} \\\\ {6 x=9-3 y}\end{array}$

Let us first bring the equation in standard form for comparison

$\begin{array}{l}{2 x+y-3=0} \\\\ {6 x+3 y-9=0}\end{array}$

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

To check how many solutions are there for system of equations $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0 \text{ and }a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0$ , we need to compare ratios of $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}, \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \text { and } \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

In our case,

$a_{1} = 2, b_{1}= 1\text{ and }c_{1}= -3$

$a_{2} = 6, b_{2} = 3,\text{ and }c_{2} = -9$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{-3}{-9}=\frac{1}{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}}\end{array}$

As $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ , so given system of equations have infinite number of solutions.

Hence, we can conclude that system has infinite number of solutions.

Gary won $70,000 in the lottery after all tax deductions. He invested part of the money at 11% and deposited the remainder in ta

Tju [1.3M]

X - invested for the money at 11%
70 000 - x - deposited at 12%

0.11x + 0.12(70000-x)=7900
0.11x + 8400 - 0.12x = 7900
8400- 7900 = 0.01x
500 = 0.01x
x=50 000 invested at 11%
rest (20K) invested at 12%
