<span>For this case we have the following expression:
</span> \frac{n ^ 4-11n ^ 2 + 30}{ n ^ 4-7n ^ 2 + 10} &#10;&#10;
<span> We are going to make the following change of variables:
 </span>x = n ^ 2&#10;
 <span>Rewriting the expression we have:
 </span>\frac{(x ^ 2-11x + 30)}{(x ^ 2-7x + 10)} &#10;&#10;
 <span>Factoring the expression we have:
 </span>\frac{(x-5) (x-6)}{(x-5) (x-6)} &#10;
 <span>Canceling similar terms we have:
 </span>\frac{x-6}{x-2} &#10;
 <span>Returning the change we have:
 </span>\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2} &#10;&#10;
<span> The resctrictions of the function are those that make the denominator equal to zero.
 We have then:
 </span>n ^ 2-2 = 0&#10;&#10;n = +/-  \sqrt{2} &#10;
<span> Answer:
 The simplified expression is:
 </span>\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2}
 <span>The restrictions are:
 </span>n = \sqrt{2} &#10;
 n = -  \sqrt{2}

Hot air balloon travels 18 miles in 3 hour. At this rate how many miles will the hot air balloon travel in 3/4 hour?
seropon [69]
You can figure out how many miles per hour it travels by dividing 18/3. This gives us the answer of 6. 3/4 = 0.75 so we can multiply 6 * 0.75 to get 4.5 as our final answer. It will travel 4.5 miles in 3/4 of an hour.
