That would be around $200. Because you would take 40 devide by .2 and get 200.

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+1}{x-5} - \dfrac{x-2}{x+3}$

= $\dfrac{x+1}{x-5}(\dfrac{x+3}{x+3}) - \dfrac{x-2}{x+3}(\dfrac{x-5}{x-5})$

= $\dfrac{x^{2}+4x+3}{(x-5)(x+3)} - \dfrac{x^{2}-7x+10}{(x-5)(x+3)}$

= $\dfrac{x^{2}+4x+3-(x^{2}-7x+10)}{(x-5)(x+3)}$

= $\dfrac{11x-7}{(x-5)(x+3)}$

bixtya [17]

Answer:

30.25 in decimal form

30 1/4 in fraction form

Step-by-step explanation:

12(3) − 3(1/3) / 4(3)− (5) = 30.25 or 30 1/4

List all possible rational roots. Then use synthetic division to confirm which rational roots exist:

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$\boxed{(1) \, x = \, \pm \dfrac{1}{2}, \pm 1, \pm2, \pm \dfrac{5}{2}, \pm 5, \pm 10; (2) \, x = -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2x³+ 6x² - x - 10 = 0

(1) Possible roots

The Rational Roots Theorem states that, if a polynomial has any rational roots, they will have the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.

$\text{Possible rational root} = \dfrac{ p }{ q } = \dfrac{\text{factor of constant term}}{\text{factor of leading coefficient}}$

In your function, the constant term is -10 and the leading coefficient is 2, so

$\text{Possible root} = \dfrac{\text{factor of 10}}{\text{factor of 2}}$

Factors of 10 = ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10

Factors of 2 = ±1, ±2

$\text{Possible roots are } \large \boxed{\mathbf{x = \pm \dfrac{1}{2}, \pm 1, \pm2, \pm \dfrac{5}{2}, \pm 5, \pm 10}}$

(2) Synthetic division

Rather than work through all 12 possibilities, I will do one that works.

$\begin{array}{r|rrrr}-2 & 2 & 6 & -1 & -10\\& & -4& -4 & 10\\& 2 & 2& -5 & 0\\\end{array}$

So, x = -2 is a root, and the quotient is 2x² + 2x - 5.

(3) Check for other rational roots

2x² + 2x - 5 = 0

D = b² - 4ac =2²- 4(2)(-5) = 4 + 40 = 44

√44 = 2√11, which is irrational.

Since irrational roots come in pairs, the cubic equation has two real, irrational roots and one rational root at x = -2.
