Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we choose all the expression that is equal to -9, <em>we must understand that the modulus of a value can return both its positive and negative value</em>. For example, Modulus of b can either be +b or -b i.e |b| = +b or -b

Hence the following expression are all equal ro -9

a) |−9| is equivalent to -9 because the absolute value of -9 i.e |−9| can return both -9 and 9

b) −|−9| is also equivalent to -9. The modulus of -9 is also equal to 9, hence negating 9 will give us -9. This shows that −|−9| = −|9| = −9

c) −|9| is also equivalent to -9. This has been established in b above.

The quotient of (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)/(x^2+5x+6)

Elis [28]

Answer: The quotient is (x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$f(x)=(x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\and\\\\g(x)=x^2+5x+6\\\\So,\ \frac{\left(x^3+3x^2-4x-12\right)}{\left(x^2+5x+6\right)}$

Now, we have to find the quotient of the above expression.

So, here we go:

$Factorise\ (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\=\left(x^3+3x^2\right)+\left(-4x-12\right)\\\\=-4\left(x+3\right)+x^2\left(x+3\right)\\\\=\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)$

Now, we will divide the above simplest form with g(x):

$\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\\\\=\frac{x^2-4}{x+2}\\\\=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x+2}\ using\ (a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)\\\\=x-2$

Hence, the quotient is (x-2).

Jane is planting a mixture of flowers. For every ounce of Marigold seeds she uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds how many ounce

dusya [7]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}$
