Hi there

a/(a² - 36) + 2/(a-6) = 1/(a+6)
a/(a+6)(a-6) + 2/(a-6) = 1/(a+6)
Now we need to multiply the terms by (a+6)(a-6)
a + 2(a+6) = 1(a-6)
a + 2a + 12 = a - 6
3a + 12 = a - 6
3a - a = -6 - 12
2a = -18
Divide both sides by 2
2a/2 = -18/2
a = -9
Thus, The correct option is A

I hope that's help !

Good luck !

What is the least common multiple of 2x^2 and 4x+12

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

4 x ^2 ( x + 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more non-zero whole numbers is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of those numbers. In other words, the LCM is the smallest number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,5) and (3,−5). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope fo

elena55 [62]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y-5=-\frac{10}{9}(x+6)$

Or:

$\displaystyle y+5=-\frac{10}{9}(x-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-6, 5) and (3, -5) in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Thus, first, we need to find the slope. We can use the slope formula:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{(-5)-(5)}{(3)-(-6)}=\frac{-10}{9}=-\frac{10}{9}$

Next, we can use either of the two given points. I'll use (-6, 5). So, let (-6, 5) be (<em>x₁, y₁</em>). Substitute:

$\displaystyle y-(5)=-\frac{10}{9}(x-(-6))$

Or, fully simplified:

$\displaystyle y-5=\frac{-10}{9}(x+6)$

Using the other point, we will acquire:

$\displaystyle y-(-5)=-\frac{10}{9}(x-(3))$

Or, simplified:

$\displaystyle y+5=-\frac{10}{9}(x-3)$

12. The function M(h) = 10e-0.173h can be used to find the number of milligrams M of morphine that is

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Part A; Initial dosage is 10 milligrams

Part B:

8.4113 milligrams after 1 hour

5.0057 milligrams after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given M(h)= 10 $e^{-0.173h}$

Initial dosage is the 10 milligrams

After 1 hour, plug in h as 1

So, M(1)=10 $e^{-0.173*1}$

Simplify the right side

M(1)=10(0.84113)

M(1)= 8.4113 milligrams.

Now, after 4 hours

M(4)=10 $e^{-0.173*4}$

M(4)=10(0.50057)

M(4) =5.0057 milligrams

Suppose the waiting times in an emergency room are normally distributed with a mean (mean) of 40 and a standard deviation (sigma

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

0.68269

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are to find the z score for population where a random sample is picked, the z.score formula we use is

z = (x-μ)/Standard error, where

x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

Standard error = σ/√n

σ is the population standard deviation

n = random number of samples

For : x = 38 minutes, μ = 40, σ = 10, n = 5

z = 38 - 40/10 /√25

= -2/10/5

= -2/2

= -1

Determining the probability value using z table

P(x = 38) = P(z = -1)

= 0.15866

For : x = 42 minutes, μ = 40, σ = 10, n = 25

z = 42 - 40/10 /√25

= 2/10/5

= 2/2

= 1

Determining the probability value using z table

P(x = 42) = P(z = 1)

= 0.84134

The probability that their average waiting time will be between 38 and 42 minutes is calculated as

P(-Z<x<Z)

= P(-1 < x < 1)

= P(z = 1) - P(z = -1)

= 0.84134 - 0.15866

= 0.68269

Therefore, the probability that their average waiting time will be between 38 and 42 minutes is 0.68269

On Monday, the water was shut off 3 times for ¼ hours, 2/3 hours, and 1-3/4 hours, respectively. What was the total number of ho

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

2-2/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 + 2/3 + 1-3/4 = 1/4 + 2/3 + 7/4. Use common is 12, so we get 3+8+21/12 = 32/12. Simplify equal 8/3 or 2-2/3 hours!
