Answer:

$\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}$

Required

Find the equivalent

We start by changing the / to *

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}$

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} * \frac{4a^2 - 1}{10a}$

Factorize 10a - 5

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{4a^2 - 1}{10a}$

Expand 4a² - 1

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a)^2 - 1}{10a}$

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a)^2 - 1^2}{10a}$

Express (2a)² - 1² as a difference of two squares

Difference of two squares is such that: $a^2- b^2= (a+b)(a-b)$

The expression becomes

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a - 1)(2a + 1)}{10a}$

Combine both fractions to form a single fraction

$\frac{(2a + 1)(2a - 1)(2a + 1)}{5(2a - 1)10a}$

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2a - 1

$\frac{(2a + 1)((2a + 1)}{5*10a}$

Simplify the numerator

$\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{5*10a}$

$\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}$

Hence,

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}$ = $\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}$

Which graph represents the sequence: 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8...?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The graph represents the sequence is Option D.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

A function defined in the set of natural numbers is called a sequence.

Allow $\boxed{a_n \ as \ n^{th} \ term}$ , or general term.

In a sequence, n should always represent a natural number, i.e.,

n > 0, n = 1, 2, 3, ...,

but the value of $\boxed{a_n}$ may be any real number depending on the formula for the general term of the sequence.

A sequence is considered geometric if the ratio between each consecutive term is common.

In our problem, the sequence is $\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{2}, 1, 2, 4, 8, ... \ }$

The ratio of each term $\boxed{a_{n+1}}$ to the previous term $\boxed{a_n}$ is equal 2, so we can formalize the sequence as

$\boxed{\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} =2}.$

The consecutive terms of the sequence have a common ratio r = 2, so this sequence is geometric.

The general term of a geometric sequence $\boxed{a_n}$ with common ratio r is $\boxed{\boxed{ \ a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1} \ }}.$

Presently we go back to the question. The graph shows the horizontal axis as n and the vertical axis is the general term $\boxed{a_n}$ . The relationship between n, the terms, and the coordinates as written below:

$\boxed{n = 1 \rightarrow the \ 1st \ term \ a_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rightarrow \bigg( 1, \frac{1}{2} \bigg)}$

$\boxed{n = 2 \rightarrow the \ 2nd \ term \ a_2 = 1 \rightarrow (2, 1)}$

$\boxed{n = 3 \rightarrow the \ 3rd \ term \ a_3 = 2 \rightarrow (3, 2)}$

$\boxed{n = 4 \rightarrow the \ 4th \ term \ a_4 = 4 \rightarrow (4, 4)}$

$\boxed{n = 5 \rightarrow the \ 5th \ term \ a_5 = 8 \rightarrow (5, 8)}$

Therefore, the graph representing the sequence is Option D.

<u>Note:</u>

The general term of a geometric sequence is exponential.
From the common ratio (r > 1) and graph, the type is an increasing sequence.

(Car Sales) Of the cars sold during the month of July, 88 had air conditioning, 96 had automatic transmission, and 76 had power

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Option E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Air conditioning = 88

Automatic transmission = 96

power steering = 76

All three = 4

None of these extras = 19

Only air conditioning = 23

Only automatic transmissions = 61

Only power steering = 28

Both automatic transmission and power steering = 11

Place these values and draw a venn diagram as shown below.

Calculation for missing values:

$11-4=7$

$96-61-4-7=24$

$88-24-4-23=37$

From the given diagram it is clear that the number of cars that had air conditioning and automatic transmission but not power steering is 24.

Therefore, the correct option is E.

If the function h is defined by h(x)=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B2%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="x^{2}" alt="x^{2}" a

harkovskaia [24]

Given:

The function is:

$h(x)=x^2-3x+5$

To find:

The value of $h(2x+1)$ .

Solution:

We have,

$h(x)=x^2-3x+5$

Putting $x=2x+1$ , we get

$h(2x+1)=(2x+1)^2-3(2x+1)+5$

$h(2x+1)=(2x)^2+2(2x)(1)+(1)^2-3(2x)-3(1)+5$

$h(2x+1)=4x^2+4x+1-6x-3+5$

On combining like terms, we get

$h(2x+1)=4x^2+(4x-6x)+(1-3+5)$

$h(2x+1)=4x^2-2x+3$

Therefore, the required function is $h(2x+1)=4x^2-2x+3$ .
