Answer: Simplified form will be

\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{5x^2-21x-20}{5x^2-16x-16}

We need to simplify the expression, we get,

\frac{5x^2-25x+4x-20}{5x^2-20x+4x-16}\\\\\text{We will split the middle terms}\\\\=\frac{5x(x-5)+4(x-5)}{5x(x-4)+4(x-4)}\\\\=\frac{(5x+4)(x-4)}{(5x+4)(x-4)}\\\\\text{ Cancel the common terms}\\\\=\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Hence, simplified form will be

\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Give an example of a function f : N → N that is surjective but not injective. You must explain why your example is surjective an
Helen [10]

Answer:

Consider f: N → N defined by f(0)=0 and f(n)=n-1 for all n>0.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will prove that f is surjective. Let y∈N be any natural number. Define x as the number x=y+1. Then x∈N, and f(x)=x-1=(y+1)-1=y.  We conclude that f is surjective.

However, f is not injective. Take x1=0 and x2=1. Then x1≠x2 but f(x1)=0 and f(x2)=x2-1=1-1=0. We have shown that there are two natural numbers x1,x2 such that x1≠x2 but f(x1)=f(x2), that is, f is not injective.

Note:

If 0∉N in your definition of natural numbers, the same reasoning works with the function f: N → N defined by f(1)=1 and f(n)=n-1 for all n>1. The only difference is that you consider x1=1, x2=2 for the injectivity.

An isosceles trapezoid has bases of lengths 6 and 8 and a height of 16. Find the area.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles trapezoid, the opposite sides are equal.

The formula for determining the area of a trapezoid is expressed as

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Where

a and b are the length of The bases are the 2 sides of the trapezoid which are parallel with one another.

h represents the height of the trapezoid.

From the information given,

a = 6

b = 8

height = 16

Therefore,

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(6 + 8)16

= 1/2 × 14 × 16 = 112 square units
