Which shows the rational expression written using the least common denominator?

Chemistry

Alexandra [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The first one.

\frac{x + 1}{4x^{2} } and \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }

Explanation:

When comparing two fractions with variables like this, it's important to get to the same denominator in order to compare apples with apples and then be able to do not only comparisons but also perform additions/subtractions.

Question is which denominator to use and how to reach it.

In this case, the question and the answer choices do the work for you.  The question asks which one is the LEAST common denominator, and the answers show denominators x² and 4x².  The smallest of these is x², however, we can't simplify the first fraction to get to the x² denominator, so we'll go for the 4x².

So, the first fraction has already the correct denominator (4x²), we just have to transform the second one.

We multiply it by 1, expressed in a different way.  Since we're multiplying by one, we're not affecting the value, just the way it looks.

Let's do it!, to get the denominator to go from x² to 4x², we need to multiply it by 4... so we'll multiply by 4/4 (which is 1, neutral for the multiplication).

\frac{x + 1}{x^{2} } * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }

And now you have both fractions on the same denominator, without having changed their value, just their looks

Which equation agrees with the ideal gas law? mc005-1.jpg mc005-2.jpg mc005-3.jpg mc005-4.jpg
AlexFokin [52]
The ideal gas equation is pV = nRT


From that you can derive several equations, depending on which variables are fixed.


1) When n and T are fixed:

pV = nRT = constant


pV = constant => p1 V1 = p2 V2 => p1 / V2 = p2 / V1 ---> Boyle's Law


2) When n and V are constant:


p / T = nR/V = constant


p / T = constant => p1 / T1 = p2 / T2  ----> Gay - Lussac's Law


3) when n and p are constant


V / T = nR/p = constant   


V / T = constant => V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 ---> Charles' Law


4) When only n is constant


pV / T = nR = constant


pV / T = constant => p1 V1 / T1 = p2 V2 / T2 ----> Combined gas law.



There  you have the four equations that agree with the ideal gas law.

PLEASE HELP!! What is the concentration [H3O+] of a solution with a pH of 13.2? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
Ilya [14]

The  concentration of [H3O+] will be 6.3 x 10^{-14} M

<h3>pH</h3>

Mathematically, pH = -log [H+] or -log [H3O+]

With a pH of 13.2:

      -log [H3O+] = 13.2

                     log [H3O+] = -13.2

                         [H3O+] = 6.3 x 10^{-14} M

How is the periodic law demonstrated in halogens
inn [45]
Halogens is defined as the group of 7 periodic table. As, every periodic table contains 7 valence electrons and they only need 1 more to complete an outer shell, that is why they are extremely reactive. And according to the law that recurring patterns of the properties of elements arise when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. As the halogen all act very similarly with each other in chemical reaction, it is true.
