The correct answer is C: 1/(x + 4)(x - 5)


   Why? Well, let's first simplify x^2 - 3x - 10 and x^2 + x - 12; the two denominators. Each of these should become an (x +/- number), and to figure out the number, as well as whether it is positive or negative, we can do a simple trick

Look at the factors of the right number (In this case, -10 and -12)

-10                   -12

1  * -10            1 * -12

-1 * 10             -1 * 12

-2 * 5             -2 * 6

2 * -5              2 * -6

                      -3 * 4

                       4 * -3


Now for part 2

Which of these pairs add up to the middle number? One of the pairs of -10 should make -3, and likewise, one of the pairs of -12 should make 1 (when x has no number in front of it you may safely assume it is 1).

2 - 5 = -3 and 4 - 3 = 1, so we now know that the 2 fraction equations simplified is

x + 2 / (x + 2)(x - 5) * x - 3/(x -3)(x + 4)

Notice anything repeating? As long as they are apart of the same fraction, we can cross out anything that has the same x - number. Crossing out both x + 2 and x - 3, we now simply have x - 5 * x + 4. Because we crossed out both numerators, the top numbers both become 1, thus giving our answer, C.

Suppose that taxis in New York are driven an average of 60,000 miles per year with a standard deviation of 11,000 miles. Assume
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>Let n be the number of taxis in NY. The average distance travelled is 60,000 miles, therefore the middle 95% will have the same average as the population, the reason being the mileage is symmetrically distributed about the mean Therefore the total number of miles in one year for the middle 95% is 60,000 * 0.95 * n
</span><span>The range of miles driven by the middle 95% can be found from the empirical rule that says: For a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus 2 standard deviations of the population mean. In this case the range is (60,000-22,000) to (60,000 + 22,000)</span>

What are the solutions to the system of equations <br> {-x+y=4<br> {y+12=x^2+x
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=4+x          ............................................ (1)

y=x^2+x-12  ............................................ (2)

now equate both (1) and (2)

4+x=x^2+x-12

=>x^2=16

x=-4,4

now substitute the values of x ,

when x=-4 , y becomes 0

when x=4  , y becomes 8

so, solution set:

(-4,0) and (4,8)

The troposphere extends from the Earth's surface to a height of 6–12 miles, depending on the location and the season. If a plane
Anni [7]

Answer:

2.8 miles higher the plane go without leaving the troposphere?

Step-by-step explanation:

Troposphere height on different locations= 6-12 miles  

plane altitude at present flight = 5.8 miles.  

Troposphere deepness from the present flight= 8.6 miles  

So  from present altitude till troposphere=   8.6-5.8= 2.8 miles
