Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{6 {x}^{3} }{15 {x}^{4} - 60x ^{3} } \\ \\ = \frac{6 {x}^{3} }{3 {x}^{3} (5 {x}- 20 )} \\ \\ = \frac{2 }{5 ({x}- 4 )}, \: \: x \neq \: 4\\ \\$

x = 4 makes the expression undefined.

Because at x = 4 denominator becomes zero, which makes the expression undefined.

What is the length of segment BC

Nastasia [14]

If you form a triangle with the points B and C as two of the points of the right angled triangle then you use Pythagoras to find the length of BC.

3^2+4^2=25
√25 = 5

Josephina likes the service she received at her favorite cafe and wants to leave a 20% tip. Her bill is $22.58. What tip should

aleksandrvk [35]

To get the result we have to find 20% of 22.58.
First we have convert 20% into decimal.
20% its 0.20
Finally we can multiply 0.2 and 22.58.
0.2*22.58=4.516 - its the answer

In one baseball season, Peter hit twice the difference of the number of home runs Alice hit and 6. Altogether, they hit 18 home

saw5 [17]

Below is the solution:

There are two equations to be solved here. The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8

A set of exam scores is normally distributed and has a mean of 80.2 and a standard deviation of 11. What is the probability that

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

93.32% probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 63.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 80.2, \sigma = 11$
