Answer:

Option A. $\frac{x-3}{x^{2}-4 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

The excluded value of any function comes from the denominator.There can not be a 0 in denominator as this will make the function undefined.

To find the x value that will make the denominator 0 we put the denominator =0 and solve for x .

A) $x^{2} -4=0$

Or (x+2)(x-2)=0

Solving for x :

x+2=0 x-2=0

x=-2. x=2.

In this function x=-2 will make the denominator 0 and hence will be the excluded value.

Look at the denomenator and see which ones become 0 when -2 is subed for x
cause you can't divide by 0

A. 4-4=0, this has -2 excluded
B. 4+4=8, this is fine, -2 is not excluded
C. -2-3=-5, this is find, -2 is not excluded
D. same as above

answer is A

If z7=4-3i, thenz7 is<br> Select one:<br> O-7<br> O 7<br> O 5<br> O -5

Orlov [11]

By using Euler's notation, we will see that:

z^7 = 78,125*e^(-i*4.48)

We know that:

z = 4 - 3i

Remember that for a complex number:

w = a + bi

In Euler's notation, we can write this as:

w = √(a^2 + b^2)*e^(i*Atan(b/a))

Then, for z, we will get:

z = √(4^2 + (-3)^2)*e^(i*Atan(-3/4))

z = 5*e^(-i*0.64)

Now, if we apply an exponent of 7 to this number, we will get:

z^7 = ( 5*e^(-i*0.64))^7

z^7 = 5^7*e^(-i*7*0.64) = 78,125*e^(-i*4.48)

Gabby is buying flowers for a friend. She can choose daisies, carnations, or sunflowers. She can put the flowers in a clear, red

FrozenT [24]

Combination tells the number of ways an object can be arranged. The number of all of the possible combinations Gabby can have is 9.

<h3>What is Combination?</h3>

The combination helps us to know the number of ways an object can be arranged without a particular manner. A combination is denoted by 'C'.

$^nC_r = \dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

where,

n is the number of choices available,

r is the choices to be made.

We know that the number of options of the flower with Gabby is 3( daisies, carnations, or sunflowers) and the color choices she has is (clear, red, or blue), therefore, she $^3C_1$ choices for the flower, also, she has $^3C_1$ choices for color.

$\text{Total number of choices with Gabby} = \text{Choices of flower} \times \text{Choices of color}$

$= ^3C_1 \times ^3C_1 \\\\= 9$

Hence, the number of all of the possible combinations Gabby can have is 9.
