Mathematics

Stels [109]3 years ago

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the product of

\frac{(x^2-16)}{(2x+8)} * \frac{(x^3-2x^2+x)}{(x^2+3x-4)}

We know (a^2-b^2) = (a+b)(a-b)

so, (x^2-16) = (x)^2-(4)^2 = (x-4)(x+4)

2x+8 Taking 2 common from this term:

2x+8 = 2(x+4)

(x^3-2x^2+x) Taking x common from this term

x(x^2-2x+1) = x(x-1)^2 = x(x-1)(x-1)

(x^2+3x-4) factorizing this term

x^2+4x-x-4 = x(x+4)-1(x+4)

= (x-1)(x+4)

Now, Putting these simplified terms in the given equation:

\frac{(x-4)(x+4)}{2(x+4)}*\frac{x(x-1)(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+4)}

Now cancelling the same terms that are in numerator and denominator

=\frac{(x-4)}{2}*\frac{x(x-1)}{(x+4)}\\=\frac{(x-4)(x)(x-1)}{2(x+4)}\\=\frac{x(x-4)(x-1)}{2(x+4)}

So, Option A is correct.

Answer:

=x(x-4)(x-1)/2(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

=x^2-4^2/2(x+4) * x^3-2x^2+x/x^2+3x-4

=(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * x(x^2-2x+1)/x^2+3x-4

Factor x^2-2x+1 using the perfect square root

=(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * x(x-1)^2/x^2+3x-4

Factor x^2+3x-4 using AC method.

=(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * x(x-1)^2/(x-1)(x+4)

Cancel the common factor of x+4 and x-1

=(x-4)/2(x+4) * x(x-1)/1

=(x-4)x(x-1)/2(x+4)

Reorder the terms

=x(x-4)(x-1)/2(x+4)

A certain highway has a 7% grade. how many feet does it rise in a horizontal distance of 1 mile? (1 mile = 5280 feet. round your
pentagon [3]
For this case we have the following relationship:
 (x / 5280) = (7/100)
 From this relationship we must clear the value of x.
 Clearing we have:
 x = (7/100) * (5280)
 Calculating we have:
 x = 0.07 * 5280
 x = 369.6 feet
 Answer:
 
it does rise in a horizontal distance of 1 mile about:
 
x = 369.6 feet

What is the equation of the circle with center (1, -1) that passes through the point (5, 7)?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Equation of the circle =

80 = ( x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Center = (1 , -1)

Point = ( 5 , 7)

Eqn of a circle is

r^2 = (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2

We are not given the radius of the circle, fortunately we are provided the information that the circle contains a point ( 5, 7), so we use the above information to find r

Using the center (1, -1)

h - 1

k - -1

r^2 = (x - 1)^2 + ( y - -1)^2

r^2 = (x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2

With the point ( 5,7)

x = 5

y = 7

r^2 = ( 5 - 1)^2 + ( 7 + 1)^2

= 4^2 + 8^2

= 16 + 64

= 80

r^2 = 80

r = square root of 80

r = 8.94

The r = 8.94 , which means the equation of the circle is

80 = (x - 1)^2 + ( y + 1)^2
