Simplify 7x+21/x2+5x+6 divided by x+6/x+2 A. 7/x+6 B. 4x(x+7)/x+10 C. 10/x+7 D. 7/5

4 0

The answer is A. And here's how you get it. You start by simplifying between the numerator and the denominator in the top fraction. Factor the top and the botttom so you have this: [7(x+3)/(x+3)(x+2)]/[(x+6)/(x+2)]. The (x+3)'s in the top fraction cancel each other out leaving you with [7/(x+2)]/[(x+6)/(x+2)]. When you divide fractions by fractions you change the sign and flip the fraction in the denominator so now you have this: [7/(x+2)]*[(x+2)/(x+6)]. The (x+2)'s cancel each other out then leaving you with 7/(x+6)

A quadratic function and an exponential function are graphed below. How do the decay rates of the functions compareover the inte

Kobotan [32]

To check the decay rate, we need to check the variation in y-axis.

Since our interval is

$-2We need to evaluate both function at those limits.At x = -2, we have a value of 4 for both of them, at x = 0 we have 1 for the exponential function and 0 to the quadratic function. Let's call the exponential f(x), and the quadratic g(x).[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-2)=g(-2)=4 \\ f(0)=1 \\ g(0)=0 \end{gathered}$

To compare the decay rates we need to check the variation on the y-axis of both functions.

$\begin{gathered} \Delta y_1=f(-2)-f(0)=4-1=3 \\ \Delta y_2=g(-2)-g(0)=4-0=4 \end{gathered}$

Now, we calculate their ratio to find how they compare:

$\frac{\Delta y_1}{\Delta y_2}=\frac{3}{4}$

This tell us that the exponential function decays at three-fourths the rate of the quadratic function.

And this is the fourth option.

QveST [7]

The formula for the standard error is this:
σM = σ / √N

where
σM is the standard error
σ is the standard deviation
N is the number of samples

So,
σM = 0.45 / √50
σM = 0.0636 or 6.36%

The standard error is 0.0636
