Answer:

x cannot be 5 or -3.

\frac{x+5}{x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The restrictions for a fraction is that the bottom cannot be 0.

So if we find when the bottom is 0 we have found the values that x cannot be.

Let's solve x^2-2x-15=0.

Since the coefficient of x^2 is 1 all we have to do is find two numbers whose product is -15 and whose sum is -2.

Those numbers are -5 and 3 since (-5)(3)=-15 and (-5)+(3)=-2.

So the factored form of the equation is:

(x-5)(x+3)=0

This means either x-5=0 or x+3=0.

We do have to solve both.

x-5=0 can be solved by adding 5 on both sides.

x-5+5=0+5

x+0=0+5

x=5

x+3=0 can be solved by subtracting 3 on both sides.

x+3-3=0-3

x+0=0-3

x=-3

So x can be any number except x=5 or x=-3.

We already factored the bottom as (x-5)(x+3).

The top is a difference of squares, x^2-a^2,

which can be factored as (x-a)(x+a).

So the top factors as (x-5)(x+5).

The fraction can then be written as:

\frac{x^2-25}{x^2-2x-15}=\frac{(x-5)(x+5)}{(x-5)(x+3)}

This can further simplified assuming x is not 5 we can write it as \frac{x+5}{x+3}.  I canceled the common factor of (x-5).

The edge of each cube used to build this rectangular prism is 13
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

\frac{3}{3} * \frac{2}{3} *\frac{3}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \ in^3

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is missing the attached figure.

The edge of each cube used to build this rectangular prism is 1/3 inch long. Based on the attached figure.

the volume of the prism = length × height × width

length = 3 * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3}

height = 3 * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3}

width = 2 * \frac{1}{3}= \frac{2}{3}

So the volume of the prism = \frac{3}{3} *\frac{3}{3} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \  in^{3}

∴ The equation that shows the volume of the prism, in cubic inches

= \frac{3}{3} * \frac{2}{3} *\frac{3}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \ in^3

A 3 inch radius circle is drawn inside a 7 inch radius circle. If you throw a dart at these circles, what is the probability you
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine the areas of the inner and the bigger circles.

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

Considering the inner circle,

diameter = 148.4 cm

Radius = 3 inches

Area = 3.14 × 3² = 28.26 inches²

Considering the bigger circle,

Radius = 7 inches

Area = 3.14 × 7² = 153.86 inches²

The area between the bigger and inner circles is

153.86 - 28.26 = 125.6 inches²

Probability = number of favourable outcome/number of total outcome.

the probability you land inside the bigger circle but outside smaller circle is

125.6/153.86 = 0.82
