b^-2-x^-2/b^-1+x^-1
b^-2/b^-1=b^-1
x^-2/x^-1=x^-1
As a result, the simplest form is:
b^-1-x^-1. Hope it help!
The answer is four
See my handwritten problem worked out in attached pic
There are four banana, one strawberry and one water-melon smoothies, six in all.
Assuming all smoothies are identical when we pick, then the probability of picking a particular one is one divided by the total number (of smoothies).
Since there are four banana smoothies, the probability of picking a banana smoothie is four divided by six, or four-over-six, or two-thirds.
There are now five smoothies remaining, of which three are banana. Therefore the probability of picking another banana is three-over-five, or three fifths.
The final probability is the product of the individual (we call it a two-step experiment), or two-third multiplied by three-fifths, equal to two-fifths, or forty percent.
Recall that if the first banana smoothie had been put back in the batch, the probability would come out different.
Given:
The intial population in 2019 is, P₀ = 103126.
The final population in 2020 is, P = 103856.
The objective is to find the population in the year 2039.
Explanation:
The general exponential form of population growth is,

Here, t represents the time period.
To find t:
The value of <em>t</em> from 2019 to 2020 can be calculated as,

To find r :
On plugging the obtained values in equation (1),

To find population at 2039:
The time period <em>t</em> can be calculated as,

Now, final population after 2019 can be calculated as,
f(x) = (x + 7)² - 8
the equation of a quadratic in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
given the quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
then the x-coordinate of the vertex is
= - 
f(x) = x² + 14x + 41 is in standard form
with a = 1, b = 14 and c = 41
= -
= - 7
substitute this value into the equation for y- coordinate
y = (- 7 )² + 14(- 7 ) + 41 = 49 - 98 + 41 = - 8
f(x) = (x + 7)² - 8 ← in vertex form
