To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute n^{2} with x; so n^{2} =x and n ^{4} =  x^{2}. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:
\frac{n^{4}-11n^{2} +30 }{n^{2}-7n^{2} +10 } =  \frac{ x^{2} -11x+30}{ x^{2} -7x+10}
Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form a x^{2} +bx+c. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is c (30) and its sum b (-11); those numbers are -5 and -6. (-5)(-6)=30 and -5-6=-11.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5. (-2)(-5)=10 and -2-5=-7. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:
\frac{ x^{2} -11x+30}{ x^{2} -7x+10} = \frac{(x-6)(x-5)}{(x-2)(x-5)}
Notice that we have (x-5) in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
\frac{x-6}{x-2}
But remember than x= n^{2}, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:
\frac{n^{2}-6 }{n^{2}-2 }
Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is n^{2} -2 \neq 0
n^{2}  \neq 2
n \neq +or- \sqrt{2}

If 3 times a certain number is increased by 4 the result is 28. What is the number?
Minchanka [31]
3x+4=28 because 3 times an unknown number was mentioned first and mentioned together so they will be together, increased by 4 is +4 and comes after, the result of is the same as equals so you put the equals sign and whatever number they gave after.

Given the domain values {-3, 0, 3} what is the range for the equation f(x) = −5x + 2? Question options: {-3, 0, 3} {-6, 2, 6} {-
Fynjy0 [20]

The range is the set of all possible output, as you feed the function with all possible inputs. Since our inputs (domain) are -3, 0, 3, our outputs are

f(-3) = 15+2 = 17\\f(0)=0+2 = 2\\f(3) = -15+2 = -13

So, the range is

\{-13, 2, 17\}

Anthony eats 2 alices of a large 18 inch pizza. Lucy eats 4 lices of a 12 inch pizza. Both pizzas are cut into 8 slices. Lucy cl
Vlad [161]

Answer: Lucy ate more pizzas because he ate more inches of pizza than Anthony.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anthony eats 2 slices of a large 18 inch pizza. Total number of slice in the 18 inch pizza is 8

The size of one slice in inches would be total length of pizza / number of slices. It becomes

18 / 8 = 2.25 inches

Anthony ate 2 ×2.25 = 4.5 inches of pizza.

Lucy eats 4 slices of a 12 inch pizza.

Total number of slice in the 12inch pizza is 8

The size of one slice in inches would be total length of pizza / number of slices. It becomes

12 / 8 = 1.5 inches

Lucy ate 4 × 1.5 = 6 inches of pizza.

Lucy ate more pizzas because he ate more inches of pizza than Anthony.
