Answer:
30/42 = 10/14 = 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
(C) "gaffe"
A gaffe is a mistake. The text would read "His conduct at the state dinner was a cavalcade of blunders, one gaffe following another until the evening ended" if this phrase were added. The comma signifies that the word that is missing is equivalent to the word error.
A social misstep can be described using either the words "blunder" or "gaffe." The answer is not (A). A "query" is an enquiry or question. (B) is the wrong answer. Gibe is slang for a mocking comment.
The answer is not (D). Tryst is often used to describe an amorous encounter. The answer is not (E). An expression of appreciation, respect, or admiration is referred to as a "tribute.".

Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
If x=-5 is a zero, then the first factor of the polynomial would be (x + 5 )
To find the other two factors we can divide the polynomial by the expression (x+5).
Using synthetic division, we have:
-5 I 4 15 -24 5 (Coefficients of the dividend)
I -20 25 -5 (Multiplying each coefficient by the results of the substraction and adding)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 -5 1 0 (Coefficients of the quotient)
The result of the division is 4x^2 - 5x + 1. Factoring it, we have:
4x^2 - 4x -x + 1 (Separating -5x into -x and -4x)
4x (x - 1) - (x -1) (Factoring each pair of terms)
(x-1)(4x-1) (Factoring using the common factor)
So the answer would be:
(x + 5 )(x-1)(4x-1)
