Answer:
D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
A field is basically a rectangle, so to find the perimeter of our field we are using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

where
is the perimeter
is the length
is the width
We know from our problem that the field has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1, so
and
.
Replacing values:


Notice that the denominator of the second fraction is a difference of squares, so we can factor it using the formula
where
is the first term and
is the second term. We can infer that
and
. So,
. Replacing that:


We can see that the common denominator of our fractions is
. Now we can simplify our fraction using the common denominator:




We can conclude that the perimeter of the field is D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1).
The outlier is the piece of data that does not fit the general data set. In this case, 46 is much higher than all of the other numbers. This is the outlier.
17 because you need to multiply
