Answer:
\frac{(w-3)(w-4)}{(w+5)(w-4)}

If we want to expand the brackets, the fraction would be:
\frac{w^2 - 7w + 12}{w^2 + w - 20}

Explanation:
First, we can note that:
w² + w - 20 can be factorized as follows:
w² + w - 20 = (w+5)(w-4)

The given expression already has a (w+5) in the denominator, therefore, all we need to do is multiply the denominator by (w-4)

Since we want the new fraction to be equivalent to the original one, therefore, as we multiply the denominator by (w-4), we will also multiply the numerator by (w-4) to ensure that the value of the fraction is unchanged.

Based on the above, the new fraction would be:
\frac{(w-3)(w-4)}{(w+5)(w-4)}

If we want to expand the brackets, the fraction would be:
\frac{w^2 - 7w + 12}{w^2 + w - 20}

Hope this helps :)

Use technology to find the​ P-value for the hypothesis test described below. The claim is that for a smartphone​ carrier's data
EastWind [94]

Solution :

The null and alternative hypothesis is given by

$H_0: \mu = 11$

$H_a: \mu \ne 11$

Assume that the level of significance, α = 0.05

The t-test statistics is, t = 1.484

Degree of freedom :

df = n - 1

   = 14 - 1

   = 13

The P-value is given by

P-value = 2P (T>|t|)

            = 2P(T>|1.484|)

            = 2P(T>1.484)

            = 2(=T.DIST.RT(1.484,13))

            = 0.05
