Mathematics

8 0

Answer:

<h2>y = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\\\\2y-8\neq0\ \wedge\ y+4\neq0\ \wedge\ y^2-16\neq0\\\\2y\neq8\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y^2\neq16\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4\\\\\boxed{y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4}\\\\===========================

\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-4^2}\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}=-\dfrac{10}{y+4}+\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{y+4}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}+\dfrac{10}{y+4}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}

\dfrac{8(y+4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}+\dfrac{10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{8(y+4)+10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{8y+32+10y-40}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\\dfrac{(8y+10y)+(32-40)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{18y-8}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\iff18y-8=14y+16\\\\18y-8=14y+16\qquad\text{subtract 14y from both sides}

4y-8=16\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\4y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=8\in D

Solve the equation. Then check your solution. – two-fifths + a = One-fifth a. Three-fifths c. StartFraction 3 Over 10 EndFractio
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a = Negative one-fifth

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

\dfrac{2}{5}+a=\dfrac{1}{5}

We need to find the value of a.

Subtract 2/5 from both sides.

\dfrac{2}{5}+a-\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\a=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\\\\a=\dfrac{-1}{5}

So, the correct answer is Negative one-fifth. Hence, the correct option is (b).

AARP reported on a study conducted to learn how long it takes individuals to prepare their federal income tax return (AARP Bulle
Crank

Answer:

Confidence interval: (30.1,36.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

35.3,30.5,37.4,26.5,13.0,49.9,28.8,44.0,61.6,0.5,40.5,34.9,47.9,36.6,24.1,39.8,47.8,18.5,36.6,39.2,14.5,37.3,40.5,49.3,45.5,28.3,19.5,5.6,52.6,41.4,45.3,39.0,33.7,29.4,14.5,40.1,33.7,36.9,5.6,33.7

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1339.9}{40} = 33.5

S.D = 11(given)

n = 40

Confidence interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

33.5 \pm 1.96(\frac{11}{\sqrt{40}} ) = 6.34 \pm 3.4 = (30.1,36.9)

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Hope this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

43. A "Square" cornfield, which means all 4 sides has the same lenght BxH

164.000 ft^2=404.96 NO

156.816 ft^2=396 Yes

174724 ft^2=418 Yes

215908  ft^2=464.66 NO

44. it's the same here, if the area is 81. then each side of the square is 9

1st figure: it has 12 sides x9 =108

2nd figure: it has 10 sides x9=90

3rd figure: has also 12 sides x9=108

45. 13^3= 13x13x13 = 2197

46. 25^2= 25x25 = 625

47.  15^3= 15x15x15 = 3375

48. 34^2= 34x34 = 1156

49.  5 root121= 5 (11)=55

50. -6.root36= - 6 (6)= -36

51.  10 root3 (8) = 10(2) = 20

52. -4. root 144= -4(12) = -48
