Answer to question 1


We want to simplify


\frac{\frac{4x}{5+x}}{\frac{6x}{x+2}}


Let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign by rewriting the expression to obtain,


\frac{4x}{5+x} \div \frac{6x}{x+2}



We now multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get,




\frac{4x}{5+x} \times \frac{x+2}{6x}


We cancel out common factors to obtain,



\frac{2}{5+x} \times \frac{x+2}{3}


We multiply out to obtain,




\frac{2(x+2)}{3(x-5)}



ANSWER TO QUESTION 2


We want to simplify,


\frac{\frac{x^2+4x+3}{2x-1}}{\frac{x^2+x}{2x^2-3x+1}}



Let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign by rewriting the expression to obtain,


\frac{x^2+4x+3}{2x-1}\div \frac{x^2+x}{2x^2-3x+1}



We now multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get,


\frac{x^2+4x+3}{2x-1}\times \frac{2x^2-3x+1}{x^2+x}



We now factor to obtain,


\frac{(x+1)(x+3)}{2x-1}\times \frac{(x-1)(2x-1)}{x(x+1)}



We now cancel out common factors to obtain,


\frac{(x+3)}{1}\times \frac{(x-1)}{x}



We now multiply out to get,


\frac{(x-1)(x+3)}{x}



ANSWER TO QUESTION 3



We want to solve the equation,



\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}


We need to multiply through by least common multiple of the denominators which is ,


x(x-1)





x(x-1) \times \frac{1}{x-1}+x(x-1) \times \frac{2}{x}=x(x-1) \times \frac{x}{x-1}



x+2(x-1)=x(x)


x+2x-2=x^2





3x-2=x^2






x^2-3x+2=0



(x-1)(x-2)=0



x=1,x=2


But x=1 does not satisfy the equation. It will result in division by zero which is undefined. This is an extraneous solution.



Therefore x=2 is the only solution.


The correct answer is D.

What is the range of the function f(x) = |x| +2?
kykrilka [37]
Imagine the graph of f(x)=|x|. This can only output positive values (x \geq 0).

Then f(x)=|x|+2 is the same graph shifted upwards by two units meaning it can only output values bigger or equal to than 2. So the range is x \geq 2

Suppose that a standardized biology exam has a mean score of 80% correct, with a standard deviation of 3. The school administrat
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is between 62.36%(lower bound) and 89.64%(upper bound).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

A sample of 65 students from the freshmen class is used and a mean score of 76% correct is obtained.

This means that n = 65, \pi = 0.76

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.005, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.76 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.76*0.24}{65}} = 0.6236

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.76 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.76*0.24}{65}} = 0.8964

0.6236*100 = 62.36%

0.8964*100 = 89.64%

The 99% confidence interval is between 62.36%(lower bound) and 89.64%(upper bound).

The store paid $2.70 for a book and sold it for $6.20. What is the profit as a percent?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

129.6% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Firstly in order to find the overall profit you take away $2.70 from $6.20 = $3.50

2)The next step is to put the profit over the amount paid = 3.50/2.70 = 35/27.

3)In order to find the percentaage you multiply 35/27 by 100 = 129.629 recurring. This rounded to 1 decimal place is 129.6%
