In the rational expression,

Mathematics
1 answer:
Travka [436]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The reason why it is incorrect to cancel the 4x in the numerator with the 4x in the denominator is because 4x is not a factor of both the numerator and the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the rational expression, x^2 + 4x - 12 given above is a quadratic equation. It is not factorizable. If we factorize the numerator, 4x - 8, we would have

4 (x - 2).

This means 4x is not a factor of the numerator(4x - 8) and neither is it a factor of the denominator (x^2 + 4x - 12). This is the reason why it is incorrect to cancel the 4x in the numerator with the 4x in the denominator. The factors of the denominator can only be gotten by using the general formula for solving quadratic equations

Find the inverse of the following matrix without using a calculator 1-1 2 -3 2 1 0 4 - 25
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

18  -(17/3)   (5/3)

25  (25/3)  (7/3)

4    (4/3)     (1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the Gauss-Jordan method.

You have the original matrix and then the Identity matrix.

So:

Original              Identity

1 -1 2                    1 0 0

-3 2 1                   0 1 0

0 4 -25                0 0 1

By the Gauss-Jordan method, in the original place you will have the identity and in the place that the identity currently is you will have the inverse matrix:

So, let's start by setting the first row element to 0 in the second and the third line.

The first row element of the third line is already at zero, so no changes there. In the second line, we need to do:

L2 = L2 + 3L1

So now we have the following matrixes.

1 -1 2        |            1 0 0

0 -1 7       |            3 1 0        

0  4 -25   |            0 0 1

Now we need the element in the second line, second row to be 1. So we do:

L2 = -L2

1 -1 2        |            1 0 0

0 1 -7       |            -3 -1 0        

0  4 -25   |            0 0 1

Now, in the second row, we need to make the elements at the first and third line being zero. So, we have the following operations:

L1 = L1 + L2

L3 = L3 - 4L2

Now our matrixes are:

1 0 -5       |            -2 -1 0

0 1 -7       |            -3 -1 0        

0 0 3       |            12 4 1

Now we need the element in the third line, third row being one. So we do:

L3 = -L3

1 0 -5       |            -2  -1     0

0 1 -7       |            -3  -1      0        

0 0 1       |            4    (4/3) (1/3)

Now, in the third row, we need the elements in the first and second line being zero. So we do:

L1 = L1 + 5L3

L2 = L2 + 7L3

So we have:

1 0 0 |       18  -(17/3)   (5/3)

0 1 0 |       25  (25/3)  (7/3)

0 0 1 |       4    (4/3)     (1/3)

So the inverse matrix is:

18  -(17/3)   (5/3)

25  (25/3)  (7/3)

4    (4/3)     (1/3)

You make a time capsule with your friends. Find the surface area of the shape pictured. Use 3.14 to approximate pi.
Orlov [11]

Answer: 1,475.8mm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you join the top part and the bottom part of the figure, you obtain a sphere. Then, you must apply the formula for calculate the surface area of a sphere:

SA_s=4r^{2}(3.14)

Where r is the radius (r=\frac{10mm}{2}=5mm)

2. Then:

SA_s=4(5mm)^{2}(3.14)=314mm^{2}

3. The formula for calculate the suface area of the red part, which is a cylinder, is:

SA_c=2(3.14)(r)(h)

Where h is the height (h=32mm)

4. Then:

SA_c=2(3.14)(5mm)(32mm)=1,004.8mm^{2}

5. So, the total surface area is:

SA_t=314mm^{2}+1,004.8mm^{2}=1,318.8mm^{2}

The toy shop is located at (-2, 3) and the ice skating rink is located at (-2, -5). Plot these points on the coordinate grid. If
natta225 [31]

Answer:

8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the distance between the two points

To calculate this, we use the distance formula

Let the distance be D

We have the formula as;

D = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

D = √(-2+2)^2 + (-5-3)^2

D = √(64)

D = 8 units

Since 1 unit is 1 mile,

then 8 units will be 8 * 1 = 8 miles
