Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 2x - 24 = x² + 6x  - 4x - 4 * 6

                   = x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6)

                   = (x + 6) (x - 4)

x² - x - 42 = x² -7x + 6x - 6 * 7

                = x(x - 7) + 6(x - 7)

               =  (x - 7) (x + 6)

\frac{x^{2}+2x-24}{x^{2}-x-42}=\frac{(x + 6)*(x-4)}{(x+6)(x-7)}\\\\\\=\frac{x-4}{x-7}

Answer:

\frac{x - 4}{x - 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ {x}^{2} + 2x - 24 }{ {x}^{2} - x - 42 }  \\  \frac{(x + 6) (x - 4)}{(x - 7)(x + 6)} \:the \: term \: will \: be \: simplified (x + 6)  \\ and \: we \: will \: be \: left \: with \:  \frac{x - 4}{x - 7}

The amount of money in Nadia’s savings account is represented by the recursive formula an=1.025(an-1)+50 if a6=291.51 what are t
Elis [28]
Recursive formula is one way of solving an arithmetic sequence. It contains the initial term of a sequence and the implementing rule that serve as a pattern in finding the next terms. In the problem given, the 6th term is provided, therefore we can solve for the initial term in reverse. To make use of it, instead of multiplying 1.025, we should divide it after deducting 50 (which supposedly is added).
<span>
Therefore, we perform the given formula: A (n) = <span>1.025(an-1) + 50
</span></span>a(5) =1.025 (235.62) + 50 = 291.51

a(4) = 1.025 (181.09) + 50 = 235.62

a(3) = 1.025 (127.89) + 50 = 181.09

a(2) = 1.025 (75.99) + 50 = 127.89

a(1) = 1.025 (25.36) + 50 = 75.99

a(n) = 25.36

The terms before a(6) are indicated above, since a(6) is already given.

So, the correct answer is <span>A. $25.36, $75.99.</span>

The Frostburg-Truth bus travels on a straight road from Frostburg Mall to Sojourner Truth Park. The mall is 3 miles west and 4 m
Advocard [28]
The park is a total of 3+3 = 6 miles east of the mall, and 4+5=9 miles north of it. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the straight-line distance in miles is
  √(6² +9²) = √117 ≈ 10.8

A quantity, y, varies directly as x When y=10, x=6.<br> Find xwhen y= 14.
grigory [225]

The value of x when y = 14 is 8.4

<h3 />

<h3>How to solve variation ?</h3>

y, varies directly as x. Therefore,

y ∝ x

Therefore,

y = kx

where

  • k =constant of proportionality

Therefore,

10 = 6k

k = 10 / 6

k = 5 / 3

Hence, when y = 14

y = kx

14 = 5 / 3 x

cross multiply

42 = 5x

x = 42 / 5

x = 8.4
