Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The stick has a length of 5 units

The stick is broken at two points chosen at random

First break: the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units= 1/5.

Second break, the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units is 1/5.

Therefore,

The total probability =probability of first break * probability of second break * original stick unit

=1/5 * 1/5 * 5

= 1/25 *5

=5/25

=1/5

Simplify each rational expression to lowest terms, specifying the values of xx that must be excluded to avoid division

k0ka [10]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

(c) $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$ .The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

(d) $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2.

(e) $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce each rational expression to lowest terms you must:

(a) For $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-6x+5\\\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x^2-x\right)+\left(-5x+5\right)\\x^2-6x+5=x\left(x-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x-1\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x^2-3x-10=x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x+2\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:x-5\\\\\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$

The denominator in a fraction cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined. So we need to figure out what values of the variable(s) in the expression would make the denominator equal zero.

To find any values for x that would make the denominator = 0 you need to set the denominator = 0 and solving the equation.

$x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

$x+2=0\\x=-2\\\\x-5=0\\x=5$

The domain is the set of all possible inputs of a function which allow the function to work. Therefore the domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) For $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{x^3}{x^3}=1$

Quotient = 1

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:by\:}1:\:x^3+2x^2-x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:from\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}$

Remainder = $x^2+4x+1}$

$\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

$x^3+2x^2-x=0\\\\x^3+2x^2-x=x\left(x^2+2x-1\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2+2x-1=0:\quad x=-1+\sqrt{2},\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}$

(c) For $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}$

$x^2-16=\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+2x-8= \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)$

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}\\\\\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

$x^2+2x-8=0\\\\x^2+2x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)=0$

(d) For $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:cube\:of\:sum\:rule:\:}a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3=\left(a+b\right)^3\\\\a=x,\:\:b=2\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3$

$\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)^3}\\\\\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2

$x^3+6x^2+12x+8=0\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3=0\\x=-2$

(e) For $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}$

$\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers.

$x^2+1=0\\x^2=-1\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-1},\:x=-\sqrt{-1}$

The equation y=ax^2 describes a parabola. If the value of a is positive, which way does the parabola open?

Ivenika [448]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. Up

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Parabolas are graphs that make U-shapes and are formed from quadratic equations.

Vertical Parabolas

There are 2 different types of parabolas: vertical and horizontal.

Vertical parabolas have a vertical axis of symmetry. So, they open up or down.
Horizontal parabolas have a horizontal axis of symmetry. So, they open left or right.

If the x-value is squared, then the parabola is vertical. So, this graph must open up or down.

Positive A-Value

The a-value is the coefficient before the squared term. In a vertical parabola, the graph opens up if the a-value is positive. On the other hand, the graph opens down when the a-value is negative.

In this case, the graph is a vertical parabola that opens up. This means that the range will have a minimum value but no maximum.
