Hi! :)

It sounds like you need to multiply this fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}$ *16=6

So, Marge used 6 total inches of tape.

Hope this helps!

When the stranger came into the forest, 37 percent of the people ran to hide. If 2520 refused to hide, how many people lived in

STALIN [3.7K]

Is 37% Ran to hide then 63% refuse to hide

63/2520= 37/X
63x= 93240
Divide by 63
X= 1480 Ran to hide
2520+1480=4,000 total --------------
4,000 people lived in the forest

Which of the following is an exponential equation?<br><br> y = mx + b<br> y = a(b^x)

Darina [25.2K]

Y = a(b^x)

y=mx + b is the equation of a line. It is a linear function because it has a constant rate of change.

y = a(b^x) is an exponential function because it has has an exponent and its rate of change is not constant

Perform the following operations s and prove closure. Show your work.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

1. $\frac{x}{x+3}+\frac{x+2}{x+5}$ = $\frac{2x^2+10x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\$

2. $\frac{x+4}{x^2+5x+6}*\frac{x+3}{x^2-16}$ = $\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-4)}$

3. $\frac{2}{x^2-9}-\frac{3x}{x^2-5x+6}$ = $\frac{-3x^2-7x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}$

4. $\frac{x+4}{x^2-5x+6}\div\frac{x^2-16}{x+3}$ = $\frac{1}{(x-2)(x-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $\frac{x}{x+3}+\frac{x+2}{x+5}$

Taking LCM of (x+3) and (x+5) which is: (x+3)(x+5)

$=\frac{x(x+5)+(x+2)(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\=\frac{x^2+5x+(x)(x+3)+2(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{x^2+5x+x^2+3x+2x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{x^2+x^2+5x+3x+2x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{2x^2+10x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\$

Prove closure: The value of x≠-3 and x≠-5 because if there values are -3 and -5 then the denominator will be zero.

2. $\frac{x+4}{x^2+5x+6}*\frac{x+3}{x^2-16}$

Factors of x^2-16 = (x)^2 -(4)^2 = (x-4)(x+4)

Factors of x^2+5x+6 = x^2+3x+2x+6 = x(x+3)+2(x+3) =(x+2)(x+3)

Putting factors

$=\frac{x+4}{(x+3)(x+2)}*\frac{x+3}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-4)}$

Prove closure: The value of x≠-2 and x≠4 because if there values are -2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.

3. $\frac{2}{x^2-9}-\frac{3x}{x^2-5x+6}$

Factors of x^2-9 = (x)^2-(3)^2 = (x-3)(x+3)

Factors of x^2-5x+6 = x^2-2x-3x+6 = x(x-2)+3(x-2) =(x-2)(x+3)

Putting factors

$\frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)}-\frac{3x}{(x+3)(x-2)}$

Taking LCM of (x-3)(x+3) and (x-2)(x+3) we get (x-3)(x+3)(x-2)

$\frac{2(x-2)-3x(x+3)(x-3)}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}$

$=\frac{2(x-2)-3x(x+3)}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{2x-4-3x^2-9x}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{-3x^2-9x+2x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{-3x^2-7x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}$

Prove closure: The value of x≠3 and x≠-3 and x≠2 because if there values are -3,3 and 2 then the denominator will be zero.

4. $\frac{x+4}{x^2-5x+6}\div\frac{x^2-16}{x+3}$

Factors of x^2-5x+6 = x^2-3x-2x+6 = x(x-3)-2(x-3) = (x-2)(x-3)

Factors of x^2-16 = (x)^2 -(4)^2 = (x-4)(x+4)

$\frac{x+4}{(x-2)(x+3)}\div\frac{(x-4)(x+4)}{x+3}$

Converting ÷ sign into multiplication we will take reciprocal of the second term

$=\frac{x+4}{(x-2)(x+3)}*\frac{x+3}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\=\frac{1}{(x-2)(x-4)}$

Prove Closure: The value of x≠2 and x≠4 because if there values are 2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.
