- I’m assuming the expression implies the following:
(1-n)/(n^2 - 1)
The steps goes as follows:
= -(n-1)/(n^2-1) (factored a negative out)
= -(n-1)/[(n+1)(n-1)] (Factored denominator into a difference of squares, but don’t just blindly accept the fact, expand it and you should get the original denominator)
At this point, the (n-1) terms cancel, as you should know: a real number, besides 0, over itself is 1.
= -1/(n+1) , which is the answer
Note: You could also see it as 1/-(n+1) or 1/(-n-1)
Answer:
21 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to use proportionality to find the solution to the question.
We were made to know that the time taken to build the highway is varied directly with the length and inversely with the number of workers.
Let us make a mathematical representation for this.
Let the time be t, number of workers be w and length be l
t is directly proportional to l and inversely proportional to w
Mathematically;
t = kl/w
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
Let’s find the value of k
150 workers built 12 miles of highway in 14 weeks ; plug these in the equation to get k
14 = k * 12/150
k = 150 * 14/12 = 175
Now we want to get t given w and l
from ;
t = kl/w
We can get t; where l = 15 and w = 125
t = 175 * 15/125
t = 21 weeks
One solution.
They have different slopes and therefore must have one solution.
Answer:
1.45 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 1.5 metre into cm
1.5 metre =150 center meters
150 cm -5=145
145 into metres is 1.45 m
9514 1404 393
Answer:
C. 100°
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.
∠5 = ∠3 +∠4
145° = ∠3 +45° . . . . fill in the given values
100° = ∠3 . . . . . . subtract 45° from both sides
