Answer:
The phrasing of the question is a bit weird maybe, I think, but it's one of the lobes in your brain, I suppose.
Answer:
A. i and ii
Step-by-step explanation:
i) 15 - x = -3
x=18
ii) x/2 + 6 = 15
x/2 = 9
x= 18
iii) -1/3x -5.7 = 0.3
-1/3x = 6
x = -18
Let x represent number of hours after noon.
We have been given that Sara starts at noon and walks at a speed of 4 miles per hour. So distance covered by Sara in x hours would be .
We are also told that Eddie leaves the same place an hour later. This means that Sara will be 4 miles ahead of Eddie as Sara will travel 4 miles in 1 hour.
As Eddie walks in the same direction at a speed of 5 miles per hour. So distance covered by Eddie in x hours would be .
Total distance covered by Sara when Eddie will start would be .
Now we will equate distance covered by both in x hours as:
Let us solve for x.
Since x represents number of hours after noon, so 4 represents 4 hours after noon.
Therefore, Eddie will catch up with Sara at 4:00 pm and option D is the correct choice.
Answer: 1) D 2) B
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1) The denominator cannot equal zero, Factor the denominator to find the zeros. n³ - 4n² + 3n = 0
n(n - 3)(n - 1) = 0
n=0 n-3=0 n-1=0
n=0 n=3 n=1
2) In order to be a rational expression, it must be in the form where both a and b are integers.
Since is irrational and not an integer, then the expressions containing an irrational term <em>after simplified</em> cannot result in an integer.
Therefore, options <em>(i)</em> and <em>(iv)</em> are not rational expressions.
Option <em>(iii)</em> contains b as an exponent. Since there is no information about b, it could be a fraction, which means it could be an irrational number.
