Dependent is the -5 independent is the 2w
The answer to the question is -9n - 6
F(x) = 2x + 5
the bucket starts with 5 gallons of water and is being filled at a rate of 2 gallons per minute
Okay for this question, you make a simple equation: (1/3)x=(1/4)y to represent the ratio between the milk and water. Then to find how many cups of water are needed for each cup of milk, you plug in 3 for x (because 1/3 times 3 equals one cup) and solve for your y value. Your final equation for solving should look like: (1/3)(3)=(1/4)y
- I’m assuming the expression implies the following:
(1-n)/(n^2 - 1)
The steps goes as follows:
= -(n-1)/(n^2-1) (factored a negative out)
= -(n-1)/[(n+1)(n-1)] (Factored denominator into a difference of squares, but don’t just blindly accept the fact, expand it and you should get the original denominator)
At this point, the (n-1) terms cancel, as you should know: a real number, besides 0, over itself is 1.
= -1/(n+1) , which is the answer
Note: You could also see it as 1/-(n+1) or 1/(-n-1)
