Step-by-step explanation:
The excluded values are any values of x that make the function undefined
Given
The denominator of the rational function cannot be zero as this would make it undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
(x + 4)(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x = - 4, x = 2, x = 5 are the excluded values
7h + 6b = 35.50
5h + 6b = 30.50
The difference between the 2 totals spent is $5, and there were the same number of burgers, but 2 fewer hotdogs. So $5/2 = $2.50, the cost of a hot dog. Substitute that into the equations to solve for burgers (b)
5(2.50) + 6b = 30.50
12.50 + 6b = 30.50
6b = 18
b = 3
Check the work:
7(2.50) + 6(3) =
17.50 + 18 = 35.50
Answer:
a = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute the -6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get -36a + 30.
2. on the side right of the =, distribute the -2 to get -16 + 10a.
now it should look like -36a + 30 = -16 + 10a.
3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get -46 (-36a=-46+10a)
4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.
(-46a=-46)
5.divide by -46 to get a=1
The answer is 32 because there are 5 in the actual one
