Remember that you can always multiply or divide BOTH the numerator and denominator
of the fraction by anything you want to. You just have to do exactly the same to both of
them.
The way to simplify a fraction is to divide both the numerator and denominator by their
greatest common factor.
Do you see all of those 'x's on the top and bottom ? The top and bottom can
both be divided by x-cubed.
<u>Numerator:</u>
Divide (-4³) by x³, and you have (-4) left.
<u>Denominator:</u>
Divide (x³ - 2x⁴) by x³, and you have (1 - 2x) left.
So, the simplified fraction is [ -4 / (1 - 2x) ].
That's a perfectly good answer, but you could make it look a little prettier
if you multiply the top and bottom both by -1 . Then it would be
4 / (2x - 1) .
Either one is fine.
Width = x
length = x+10
Area of deck = 144 square feet
Area = length * width
144 = x(x+10)
Solving for x in a quadratic:
x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0
Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0
Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18
Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.
Length = x + 10
Length = 18
Width = 8
Answer:
- Walnuts cost $1.75, chocolate chips cost $2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Let the costs be:</h3>
- Walnuts - x
- Chocolate chips - y
<h3>Set equations as per question</h3>
For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $37:
For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $17:
<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>
Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:
- 3(5x + 3y) - (7x + 9y) = 3(17) - 37
- 15x + 9y - 7x - 9y = 51 - 37
- 8x = 14
- x = 14/8
- x = 1.75
Find the value of y:
- 7*1.75 + 9y = 37
- 12.25 + 9y = 37
- 9y = 37 - 12.25
- 9y = 24.75
- y = 24.75/9
- y = 2.75
Answer:
Quantity of heat needed (Q) = 722.753 × 10³
Step-by-step explanation:
According to question,
Mass of water (m) = 40 kg
Change in temperature ( ΔT) = 18°c
specific heat capacity of water = 4200 j kg^-1 k^-1
The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg of substance to 1 degree celcius or 1 kelvin .
So, Heat (Q) = m×s×ΔT
Or, Q = 40 kg × 4200 × 18
or, Q = 3024 × 10³ joule
Hence, Quantity of heat needed (Q) = 3024 × 10³ joule
In calories 4.184 joule = 1 calorie
So, 3024 × 10³ joule = 722.753 × 10³
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
But basically, one by one you try moving the terms out of the radical.
75 is also 25 * 3 and since 25 has a perfect square root of 5 that goes out and 3 stays inside the radical.
x^3 is also x^2 * x and since x^2 has a perfect square root which is just x that goes outside while the remaining x stays inside.
y^9 is also y^8 * y and since we move variables out the radical in twos y^ goes outside the radical and y stays inside alone.
Finally, z is just z it can't be taken out so it stays inside the radical.
Hope that helps!
