Answer:

The simplest form of  \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2}  is  \frac{2}{(x+1)(x+3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

To add two algebraic fractions do these steps

  1. Factorize each denominator
  2. Simplify each fraction to its lowest term
  3. Find the LCM of the two denominators
  4. Divide LCM by each denominator and multiply the numerators by its corresponding quotients
  5. Add the two fraction and simplify the last answer

To simplify \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2}

Factorize each denominator

∵ The denominator of the first fraction is x² + 5x + 6

∵ x² = (x)(x)

∵ 6 = (2)(3)

∵ (2)(x) + (3)(x) = 5x ⇒ middle term

∴ x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)

∵ The denominator of the second fraction is x² + 3x + 2

∵ x² = (x)(x)

∵ 2 = (2)(1)

∵ (2)(x) + (1)(x) = 3x ⇒ middle term

∴ x² + 3x + 2 = (x + 2)(x + 1)

Find the LCM of the two denominators

∵ The denominators are (x + 2)(x + 3) and (x + 2)(x + 1)

- LCM is all the <u><em>different factors</em></u> multiplied together

∴ LCM of them is (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)

- Divide LCM by each denominator

∵ (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3) ÷ (x + 2)(x + 3) = (x + 1)

- Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by (x + 1)

∵ (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3) ÷ (x + 2)(x + 1) = (x + 3)

- Multiply the numerator of the second fraction by (x + 3)

∴  \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2} = \frac{x+1}{(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)}+\frac{x+3}{(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)}

- Add the numerators and write the answer as a single fraction

∴  \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2} = \frac{2x+4}{(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)}

- Factorize the numerator by taking 2 as a common factor

∵ 2x + 4 = 2(x + 2)

∴  \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2} = \frac{2(x+2)}{(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)}

- Simplify the fraction by dividing up and down by (x + 2)

∴  \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2} = \frac{2}{(x+1)(x+3)}

The simplest form of  \frac{1}{x^{2}+5x+6}+\frac{1}{x^{2}+3x+2}  is  \frac{2}{(x+1)(x+3)}

Answer:

a. p(orange) = 5/14

b. p(green) = 3/14

c. p(red) = 1/7  

d. p(brown) = 2/7  

e. p(brown or red) = 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have a 14 pencils. Two pencils are red, 5 pencils are orange, 3 pencils are green and 4 pencils are brown.

p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/(total number of pencils)

p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/14

a. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be orange?

p(orange) = 5/14

b. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be green?

p(green) = 3/14

c. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil will be red?

p(red) = 2/14 = 1/7

d. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be brown?

p(brown) = 4/14 = 2/7

e. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be brown or red?

brown: 4

red: 2

brown or red: 4 + 2

p(brown or red) = 6/14 = 3/7

100 POINTS plz help Chuck drops a rock from a height of 70 m. How long will it take the rock to hit the ground?
lord [1]

Answer:

3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to plug in the values of the equation, so h(t)=-4.9^2+v0t+h0 will

now be h(t)=-4.9^2+0+70

Now we will find the a b and c of the equation,  a=-4.9 b=0 c=70

Now we must find the discriminant of the equation,  which the equation for that is D=b^2+(-4)(a)(c)

So D=1,372

Now we use the quadratic formula (see picture below for finished product)
