Divide 4p2 + 6 by 2p – 2. Which statements are true about the division? Select three options. The divisor is 2p – 2. The dividen

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

2p + 2 ⇒ Quotient

Divisor ⇒ 2p - 2 4p² + 0p + 6 ⇒ Divident

-4p² + 4p

0 + 4p + 6

- 4p + 4

0 + 10 ⇒ Remainder

2. The dividend is 4p2 + 0p + 6.

The quotient is 2p + 2 + .

The remainder over the divisor is 10 / (2p - 2) .

To check the answer, multiply 2p + 2 + times 4p2 + 0p + 6 and verify that it equals the divisor.

(2p - 2)(2p + 2) = 4p⁴ + 4p - 4p - 4

= 4p⁴ - 4 + 10

= 4p⁴ + 10

Q2 - With decimals

Mila [183]

Answer:

Simplify the following algebraic expressions.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6

2(x - 9) + 6(-x + 2) + 4x

3x2 + 12 + 9x - 20 + 6x2 - x

(x + 2)(x + 4) + (x + 5)(-x - 1)

1.2(x - 9) - 2.3(x + 4)

(x2y)(xy2)

(-x2y2)(xy2)

Solution

Group like terms and simplify.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6 = (- 6x + 12x) + (5 - by

Solution

Use rules of exponential to simplify the numerator first.

(a b2)(a3 b) / (a2 b3) = (a4 b3) / (a2 b3)

Rewrite as follows.

(a4 / a2) (b3 / b3)

Use rule of quotient of exponentials to simplify.

= a2

Rewrite as follows.

(21 x5) / (3 x4) = (21 / 3)(x5 / x4)

Simplify.

= 7 x

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ]

Multiply terms in numerator and denominator and simplify.

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ] = (24 x4 y2) / (48 x2 y)

Rewrite as follows.

= (24 / 48)(x4 / x2)(y2 / y)

Simplify.

= (1 / 2) x2 y

Factor 4 out in the numerator.

(4x - 12) / 4 = 4(x - 3) / 4

Simplify.

= x - 3

Factor -5 out in the numerator.

(-5x - 10) / (x + 2) = - 5 (x + 2) / (x + 2)

Simplify.

= - 5

Factor numerator and denominator as follows.

(x2 - 4x - 12) / (x2 - 2x - 24) = [(x - 6)(x + 2)] / [(x - 6)(x + 4)]

Simplify.

= (x + 2) / (x + 4) , for all x not equal to 6

Solve for x the following linear equations.

2x = 6

6x - 8 = 4x + 4

4(x - 2) = 2(x + 3) + 7

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

- x / 5 = 2

(x - 4) / (- 6) = 3

(-3x + 1) / (x - 2) = -3

x / 5 + (x - 1) / 3 = 1/5

Solution

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 and simplify.

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 8 + 8 = 4x + 4 + 8

6x = 4x + 12

Add - 4x to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 4x = 4x + 12 - 4x

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2 and simplify.

x = 6

Expand brackets.

4x - 8 = 2x + 6 + 7

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 8 + 8 = 2x + 6 + 7 + 8

4x = 2x + 21

Add - 2x to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 2x = 2x + 21 - 2x

2x = 21

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 21 / 2

Add 1.6 to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

0.1 x - 1.6 + 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3 + 1.6

0.1 x = 0.2 x + 3.9

Add - 0.2 x to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 0.2 x = 0.2 x + 3.9 - 0.2 x

- 0.1 x = 3.9

Divide both sides by - 0.1 and simplify.

x = - 39

Multiply both sides by - 5 and simplify.

- 5(- x / 5) = - 5(2

What is the y intercept of the line - 4 x + 6 y = - 12?

What is point of intersection of the lines x - y = 3 and - 5 x - 2 y = - 22?

Solution

A point of intersection of two lines is solution to the equations of both lines. To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we need to solve the system of equations x - y = 3 and -5 x - 2 y = -22 simultaneously. Equation x - y = 3 can be solved for x to give

x = 3 + y

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation - 5 x - 2 y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation -5 x - 2 y = - 22 and solve for y

x = 3 + y = 3 + 1 = 4

Point of intersection: (4 , 1)

For what value of the constant k does the line - 4 x + k y = 2 pass through the point (2,-3)?

Solution

For the line to pass through the point (2,-3), the ordered pair (2,-3) must be a solution to the equation of the line. We substitute x by 2 abd y by - 3 in the equation.

- 4(2) + k(-3) = 2

Solve the for k to obtain

k = - 10 / 3

What is the slope of the line with equation y - 4 = 10?

A line perpendicular to the x axis is a vertical line and its slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

Suppose a farm has pens for raising insects. A pen is shaped as a rectangle that measures x meters wide and 2x meters long and h

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

1.2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of pen = 2x meters

width of pen = x meters

shape of pen is rectangular

we know that area of rectangle is given by length * width

Thus, area of the pen is x*2x = $2x^2$

It is also given that area of pen is 2.8 square meters.

Equating numerical value of area with area in terms of x, we have

$2x^2 = 2.88\\=> x^2 = 2.88/2\\=> x^2 = 1.44\\=> x = 1.2$

Thus value of x is 1.2 meters.
