Simplified form of $\frac{(y+7)}{(y^2-y-12)}-\frac{2}{(y^2-9)}$ is $\frac{y^2+2y-13}{(y-4)(y-3)(y+3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add and simplify the fractions:

$\frac{(y+7)}{(y^2-y-12)}-\frac{2}{(y^2-9)}$

For Solving, First factor out the denominators:

Factoring: $y^2-y-12$

$y^2-y-12\\=y^2-4y+3y-12\\=y(y-4)+3(y-4)\\=(y-4)(y-3)$

Factoring: $y^2-9$

$y^2-9\\=(y)^2-(3)^2\\=(y-3)(y+3)$

Putting factors in the denominators:

$\frac{(y+7)}{(y-4)(y-3)}-\frac{2}{(y+3)(y-3)}$

Now taking LCM of (y-4)(y-3) and (y+3)(y-3): (y-4)(y-3)(y+3)

$\frac{(y+7)*(y-3)-2((y-4))}{(y-4)(y-3)(y+3)}\\=\frac{y^2-3y+7y-21-2y+8}{(y-4)(y-3)(y+3)}\\=\frac{y^2+2y-13}{(y-4)(y-3)(y+3)}$

So, Simplified form of $\frac{(y+7)}{(y^2-y-12)}-\frac{2}{(y^2-9)}$ is $\frac{y^2+2y-13}{(y-4)(y-3)(y+3)}$

In 2009 the number of vehicle sales in the United States was 10,002 thousand and in 2013 it was 17,884 thousand.a. [3 pts] Deter

anygoal [31]

Answer:

1970.5 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Vehicle sales in 2009 = 10,002 thousand

Vehicle sales in 2013 = 17,884 thousand

Required

Determine the average rate of change;

From the given parameters, it can be seen that the number of vehicles is a function of year

Let x represent the years and y represent the number of vehicles;

Such that;

$x_1 = 2009;\ y_1 = 10,002$

$x_2 = 2013;\ y_2 = 17,884$

The rate of change is calculate as follows;

$m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}$

$m = \frac{10002 - 17884}{2009 - 2013}$

$m = \frac{-7882}{-4}$

$m = 1970.5$

Hence, the average rate of change is 1970.5 thousand

Answer:

y = -1/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the perpendicular slope would be -1/4

2 = -1/4 (-16) + b

b = -2

the equation should be y = -1/4x -2

Urgent help required with right triangle trig

mixas84 [53]

To find the area of a square with it's diagonal, there's actually a formula = (1/2)d², but here's how to do it if you don't have the formula:

The diagonal c separates the square into two of the same triangles. Therefore, we can apply Pythagorean Theorem

a²+b²=c² ← Since this is a square, a=b is a must

a²+a²=c² ← Combine like terms, and plug 26 in for c

2a²= 26² ← 26²=676, then divide 2 on both sides

a²= 676/2

a²=338 ← We can just stop here! Since a is a side of the square, therefore the area of a square = a²

Answer: 338 units²

1) -24, -4, 16, 36, ... Find a23

viktelen [127]

We're given the Arithmetic Progression -24, -4, 16, 36 ... .

We know that a term in an AP is generally represented as:

$\bf a_n\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d$

where,

a = the first term in the sequence
n = the number of the term/number of terms
d = difference between two terms

We need to find $\sf a_2_3$ .

From the given progression, we have:

a = -24
n = 23
d = (-24 - (-4) = -20

Using these in the formula,

$\sf a_2_3\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ (23\ -\ 1)\ \times\ (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ 22\ \times (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ -\ 440\\\\\\\bf a_2_3\ =\ -464$

Therefore, the 23rd term in the AP is -464.

Hope it helps. :)
