You can solve this problem through factoring.

First, you have the equation,

$h(x) = \frac{x^2-36}{x-6}$

Then, you can factor the numerator.

$h(x) = \frac{(x+6)(x-6)}{x-6}$

You can cancel out the x-6 in both the numerator and the denominator because they would equal to just 1.

You are left with $h(x) = x+6$

The function is removable noncontinuous at x=6 because if you plug in 6 in x-6, your denominator would be undefined.

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups. Use a ratio table to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups.

Now, to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Let the number of calories in 5.5 cups be $x.$

As, in 2 cups there are 180 calories.

2 cups is equivalent to 180 calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $2:180.$

So, in 5.5 cups there are $x$ calories.

5.5 cups is equivalent to $x$ calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $5.5:x.$

Now, we set proportion to get the number of calories in 5.5 cups:

$2:180::5.5:x$

$\frac{2}{180} =\frac{5.5}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$2x=990$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$x=495$ .

Therefore, the number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.

Question 8 Find the unit vector in the direction of (2,-3). Write your answer in component form. Do not approximate any numbers

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The unit vector in component form is $\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$ or $\hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $\vec u = (2,-3)$ , its unit vector is determined by following expression:

$\hat {u} = \frac{\vec u}{\|\vec u \|}$

Where $\|\vec u \|$ is the norm of $\vec u$ , which is found by Pythagorean Theorem:

$\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{13}$

Then, the unit vector is:

$\hat{u} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}} \cdot (2,-3)$

$\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$

The unit vector in component form is $\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$ or $\hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j$ .

A room contains three urns: u1, u2, u3. u1 contains 3 red and 2 yellow marbles. u2 contains 3 red and 7 yellow marbles. u3 conta

Archy [21]

Answer:

$\dfrac{11}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Urn U1: 3 red and 2 yellow marbles, in total 5 marbles.

The probability to select red marble is $\dfrac{3}{5}=0.6.$

Urn U2: 3 red and 7 yellow marbles, in total 10 marbles.

The probability to select red marble is $\dfrac{3}{10}=0.3.$

Urn U1: 1 red and 4 yellow marbles, in total 5 marbles.

The probability to select red marble is $\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2.$

The probability to choose each urn is the same and is equal to $\frac{1}{3}.$

Thus, the probability that the marble is red is

$\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 0.6+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 0.3+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 0.2=\dfrac{1.1}{3}=\dfrac{11}{30}.$

(2) Using the distance formula, d = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2, what is the distance between point (-2, 2) and point (4, 4) rounde

monitta

Using the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} - y_{1})^2 } \\$ , what is the distance between point (-2, 2) and point (4, 4) rounded to the nearest tenth?

Using the points given, plug them into the equation.

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} - y_{1})^2 } \\d = \sqrt{((4) - (-2))^2 + ((4) - (2)^2 } \\d=\sqrt{(4+2)^2 + (4-2)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(6)^2 + (2)^2} \\d=\sqrt{36+4} \\d=\sqrt{40} \\$

Plug this into a calculator and you get 6.32455532

Since you only need it up to the tenth (0.1), round up 6.32

Five or more, let it soar. Four or less, let it rest.

Since two is lower than four, we drop it.

Therefore, the distance between points (-2, 2) and (4, 4) is 6.3

Hope this helps ^w^
