Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

First of all, let's check the denominator.

x^2-x-6 \ \ \text{ *** How to factorise it ...? ***}\\\\\text{*** The product of the roots is -6=-2*3 and their sum is 1 ***}\\\\x^2-x-6=x^2-3x+2x-6=x(x-3)+2(x-3)=(x+2)(x-3)

Now, let's see the numerator.

x^2+8x+4 \ \text{ *** -2 is not a zero as ***}\\\\(-2)^2+8*(-2)+4=4-16+8=-4\\\\\text{*** 3 is not a zero as ***}\\\\3^2+8*3+4=9+24+4=37\\

So we cannot factorise the numerator with (x+2) or (x-3)

Then, -2 and 3 are the the discontinuities of the expression.

There is only -2 in the list, this is the correct answer.

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

In a doctor's waiting room, there are 14 seats in a row. Eight people are waiting to be seated. There is someone with a very bad
diamong [38]

Answer: 12,972,960

Step-by-step explanation: There are 14 chairs and  8 people to be seated. But among the 8. three will be seated together:

So 5 people and (3) could be considered as 6 entities:

Since the order matters, we have to use permutation:

¹⁴P₆ = (14!)/(14-6)! = 2,162,160, But the family composed of 3 people can permute among them in 3! ways or 6 ways. So the total number of permutation will be ¹⁴P₆  x 3! 

2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960 ways.

Another way to solve this problem is as follow:

5 + (3) people are considered (for the time being) as 6 entities:

The 1st has a choice among 14 ways

The 2nd has a choice among 13 ways

The 3rd has a choice among 12 ways

The 4th has a choice among 11 ways

The 5th has a choice among 10 ways

The 6th has a choice among 9ways

So far there are 14x13x12x11x10x9 = 2,162,160 ways

But the 3 (that formed one group) could seat among themselves in 3!

or 6 ways:

Total number of permutation = 2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

It's 1/2  I found this out by subtracting 3/4 - 1/3= 5/12 and if you put that into a decimal it would be .41. So that 1/4= .25 and 1/2= .50. You could figure out that it’s closed to 1/2.

#54 Simplify and write the answers using positive exponents only.
kramer
Gg easy

remember
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)
and
(x^m)^n=x^(mn)
and
(xyz)^m=(x^m)(y^m)(z^m)
and
(m/n)^a=(m^a)/(n^a)
and
x^-n=1/(x^n)

so
( \frac{6mn^{-2}}{3m^{-1}n^2} )^{-3}=
( \frac{6}{3} )^{-3}( \frac{m}{m^{-1}} )^{-3}( \frac{n^{-2}}{n^2} )^{-3}=
(2^{-3})((m^2)^{-3})((n^{-4})^{-3})=
( \frac{1}{2^3})(m^{-6})(n^{12})=
( \frac{1}{8} )( \frac{1}{m^6})(n^{12})=
\frac{n^{12}}{8m^6}
