Solve for a. a = 0 a = -1 a = 1 none

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

5/a - 2 / (1 - a) = 2 (a - 1)

Multiply each term by  a(1 - a)(a - 1):

5 (1 - a)(a - 1) - 2a(a - 1)  = 2a(1 - a)

5( a - 1 - a^2 + a)  - 2a^2 + 2a = 2a - 2a^2

5(-a^2 +  2a  - 1) - 2a^2 + 2a = 2a - 2a^2

-5a^2 + 10a - 5 - 2a^2 + 2a - 2a + 2a^2 = 0

-5a^2 + 10a - 5 = 0

-5(a^2 - 2a + 1) = 0

= -5(a - 1)^2 = 0

So a = 1.

But a = 1 cannot be a root because 2/ 1 - a would be 2/0 which is undefined.

Also 2 / (a - 1) is undefined.

How much is the number 727731000 in percent form
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

72773100000%

Step-by-step explanation:

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 727731000 to percent we rewrite 727731000 in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

Multiply 727731000 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1, we are only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.

7277310001×100100=72773100000100

72773100000/100 is 72773100000 over 100 and means 72773100000 per 100. 72773100000 "per 100" means 72773100000 "percent" or 72773100000%

Therefore, we have shown that

727731000 = 72773100000%

Simplified Conversion:

Multiply by 100 and add the percent sign %

727731000 × 100 becomes 72773100000%

Shortcut Conversion:

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add the percent sign %

727731000 becomes 72773100000%
