The equation is
.
1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)
The new equation is
. Subtract the numerators.
17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8
The improper fraction
simplifies to
.

Answer:
a) 18
b)x^2+10x+18
c)x^2 -6x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a case of plugging in the value into f(x).
a) f(-8)= -8^2 + 6(-8) +2
f(-8)= 64 + (-48) +2
f(-8)=64 + (-46)
f(-8)=18
b) f(x+2)= (x+2)^2+6(x+2)+2
So here I'll take a break to explain what's going on, because x+2 is a binomial meaning two terms and it is being squared I have to multiply the whole thing by itself. Meaning: (x+2) x (x+2), this is also known as foiling!! and for the next part its distributing 6 into x and 2.
f(x+2)= x^2+4x+4+6x+12+2
I'll reorder it
f(x+2)= x^2+4x+6x+12+2+4
f(x+2)= x^2+10x+18
c) f(-x)= -x^2+6(-x) +2
f(-x)= x^2 -6x+2
So we can start with the full of possibilities and eliminate them one by one.
The full set is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}.
Now we know that any prime greater than 2 is odd as otherwise it would have 2 as a factor, so we can eliminate all of these digits that would be an even number, leaving:
{1,3,5,7,9}
We also know that any prime greater than 5 cannot be a multiple of 5 and that all numbers with 5 in the digits are a multiple of 5, so we can eliminate 5.
{1,3,7,9}
We know that 11,13,17 and 19 are all primes, so we cannot eliminate any more of these, leaving the set:
{1,3,7,9} as our answer.
Answer: A.
They did not distribute the 3 to the 4 and -5a correctly.
C. 2/3 is the correct answer. I worked this question out and that is what I got! I hope you have a nice day! (mark as brainliest!)
