Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

(x-2)/(x-5)


Discussion:

Factor the numerator and denominator:

x^2 + x - 6 = (x+3)(x-2)

x^2-2x-15 =  (x+3)(x-5)

So  

( x^2 + x - 6) / x^2-2x-15  =   ( (x+3)(x-2) ) / ( (x+3)(x-5) )

Cancelling the (x+3) term in numerator and denominator gives

(x-2)/(x-5)


Regards,  

MrB

When a cold drink is taken from a refrigerator, its temperature is 5°C. After 25 minutes in a 20°C room its temperature has incr
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  (a)  13.85 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature difference is a decaying exponential function of time. Here, it decreases from an initial difference of 15 °C to 10 °C after 25 minutes. So, that temperature difference can be modeled as ...

  ΔT = 15(10/15)^(t/25)

We want to find the value of this at t=55. It is ...

  ΔT = 15(2/3)^(55/25) ≈ 6.15

This is the amount the temperature of the drink is below room temperature.

  drink temperature = (20 - 6.15) °C = 13.85 °C

The temperature of the drink after 55 minutes is about 13.85 °C.

Umberto buys a game for $7.89 and some batteries for $5.49. He pays with a $20 bill. Which is the best estimate of change he sho
Anika [276]

The change is the remaining money that is needed to take from the seller so a change of Umberto will be $6.62.

<h3>What is subtraction?</h3>

To subtract in mathematics is to take something away from a group or a number of objects.

The group's total number of items decreases or becomes lower when we subtract from it.

Given that,

Umberto buys a game for $7.89 and some batteries for $5.49.

Total money of buying = 7.89 + 5.49 = $13.38

Now he gives a $20 bill.

Remaining (change) = 20 - 13.38

⇒ $6.62

Hence "The change of Umberto will be $6.62".
