Multiply y^2-16/2y . 5y/y-4

1 answer:

5 0

So, first we multiply the fraction by using the formula a/b times c/d= a times c/b times d
=(y^2-16) times 5y/2y(y-4)
Now, we cancel the common factor y
=(y^2-16) times 5/2(y-4)
Now, we factor 5(y^2-16)
We factor (y^2-16) first
y^2-16
Rewrite 16 as 4^2
y^2-4^2
Now, apply the formula x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)
=y^2-4^2=(y+4)(y-4)
=5(y+4)(y-4)
=5(y+4)(y-4)/2(y-4)
Cancel the common factor y-4
=5(y+4)/2
Answer: 5(y+4)/2

To complete the table we must carefully observe the keypad, we will notice that each number is equivalent to 3 letters of the alphabet except the numbers 7 and 9 which have 4 letters each.

<h3>How does the keypad work?</h3>

Previously, cell phone keypad had a different layout than today. The numbers were related to the letters of the alphabet and the number key was pressed according to the letters that were related.

For example, if you wanted to type the letter B, you would have to press the number 2 key twice.

The relationship of numbers and letters was distributed as follows:
