An accountant has 20 clients, 5% of which are businesses. Find the number of business clients.

2 answers:

7 0

To find the number of business clients out of the total number of clients, you must multiply 5% to the total amount of clients, 20. To do this, first convert 5% to a decimal which would be moving the decimal left two places. This would convert 5% to 0.05. When you have done this, multiply 0.05 to 20 and you will get 1. Your answer would be that there is 1 business client out of the 20.

irakobra [83]

The probability that all men will be interviewed first is; 1/55

<h3>How to find probability combination?</h3>

To solve this question we will make use of the probability combination formula which is;

nCr = n!/(r! * (n - r)!)

Thus, since we want to find the probability that all men will be interviewed first, then we will use the formula;

3(3!)/((11C1) * (10C1) * (9C1)) = 18/990

Simplifying that fraction gives us; 1/55

Simplify each rational expression to lowest terms, specifying the values of xx that must be excluded to avoid division

k0ka [10]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

(c) $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$ .The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

(d) $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2.

(e) $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce each rational expression to lowest terms you must:

(a) For $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-6x+5\\\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x^2-x\right)+\left(-5x+5\right)\\x^2-6x+5=x\left(x-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x-1\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x^2-3x-10=x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x+2\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:x-5\\\\\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$

The denominator in a fraction cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined. So we need to figure out what values of the variable(s) in the expression would make the denominator equal zero.

To find any values for x that would make the denominator = 0 you need to set the denominator = 0 and solving the equation.

$x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

$x+2=0\\x=-2\\\\x-5=0\\x=5$

The domain is the set of all possible inputs of a function which allow the function to work. Therefore the domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) For $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{x^3}{x^3}=1$

Quotient = 1

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:by\:}1:\:x^3+2x^2-x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:from\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}$

Remainder = $x^2+4x+1}$

$\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

$x^3+2x^2-x=0\\\\x^3+2x^2-x=x\left(x^2+2x-1\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2+2x-1=0:\quad x=-1+\sqrt{2},\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}$

(c) For $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}$

$x^2-16=\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+2x-8= \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)$

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}\\\\\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

$x^2+2x-8=0\\\\x^2+2x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)=0$

(d) For $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:cube\:of\:sum\:rule:\:}a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3=\left(a+b\right)^3\\\\a=x,\:\:b=2\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3$

$\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)^3}\\\\\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2

$x^3+6x^2+12x+8=0\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3=0\\x=-2$

(e) For $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}$

$\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers.

$x^2+1=0\\x^2=-1\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-1},\:x=-\sqrt{-1}$
