Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5y+2x=12

Solve for y

Subtract 2x

5y = -2x+12

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -2/5 x +12/5

y = -2/5x +12/5

The slope is -2/5

Parallel lines have the same slope

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of two parallel lines will be the same.

Here, our equation is 5y + 2x = 12. Let's find the slope by isolating y:

5y + 2x = 12

5y = -2x + 12

y = (-2/5)x + 12/5

So, the slope is -2/5.

Thus, the slope of the line parallel to the given one will be -2/5.

6+4/5a=9/10a
make bottom numbers same
into 10
60/10+8/10a=9/10a
minus 8/10a from both sides
60/10=1/10a
multiply both sides by 10
60=a

If f(x) is a third degree polynomial function how many distinc complex rules are possible ?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the fundamental theorem of Algebra

A polynomial of degree 3 has 3 roots

However, complex roots occur in conjugate pairs, hence

There can only be 2 distinct complex roots.

Help! Pls I cant solve it help me with explanation also pls.

Given:

The expression is

$\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{a^2-4}$

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{a^2-4}$

It can be written as

$=\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{a^2-2^2}$

$=\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{(a-2)(a+2)}$ $[\because a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)]$

Taking LCM, we get

$=\dfrac{2(a+2)-8}{(a-2)(a+2)}$

$=\dfrac{2a+4-8}{(a-2)(a+2)}$

$=\dfrac{2a-4}{(a-2)(a+2)}$

$=\dfrac{2(a-2)}{(a-2)(a+2)}$

Cancel out the common factors.

$=\dfrac{2}{a+2}$

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is $\dfrac{2}{a+2}$ .
