Answer:

1. (x - 16)/(x - 8)  

2.  (x + 12)/(x (x - 7))

3. (2 y (y^2 - 6))/(y^2 + 5)

4. (2 x (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(x^2 - 14 x - 32)/(x^2 - 6 x - 16)

The factors of -16 that sum to -6 are 2 and -8. So, x^2 - 6 x - 16 = (x + 2) (x - 8):

(x^2 - 14 x - 32)/((x + 2) (x - 8))

The factors of -32 that sum to -14 are 2 and -16. So, x^2 - 14 x - 32 = (x + 2) (x - 16):

((x + 2) (x - 16))/((x + 2) (x - 8))

((x + 2) (x - 16))/((x + 2) (x - 8)) = (x + 2)/(x + 2)×(x - 16)/(x - 8) = (x - 16)/(x - 8):

Answer:  (x - 16)/(x - 8)

_________________________________________________________

Simplify the following:

(x^2 + 7 x - 60)/(x^3 - 12 x^2 + 35 x)

The factors of -60 that sum to 7 are 12 and -5. So, x^2 + 7 x - 60 = (x + 12) (x - 5):

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x^3 - 12 x^2 + 35 x)

Factor x out of x^3 - 12 x^2 + 35 x:

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x (x^2 - 12 x + 35))

The factors of 35 that sum to -12 are -5 and -7. So, x^2 - 12 x + 35 = (x - 5) (x - 7):

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x (x - 5) (x - 7))

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x (x - 5) (x - 7)) = (x - 5)/(x - 5)×(x + 12)/(x (x - 7)) = (x + 12)/(x (x - 7)):

Answer:  (x + 12)/(x (x - 7))

______________________________________________________

Simplify the following:

(6 y^3 - 36 y)/(3 y^2 + 15)

Factor 3 out of 3 y^2 + 15:

(6 y^3 - 36 y)/(3 (y^2 + 5))

Factor 6 y out of 6 y^3 - 36 y:

(6 y (y^2 - 6))/(3 (y^2 + 5))

6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:

Answer:  (2 y (y^2 - 6))/(y^2 + 5)

________________________________________________________

Simplify the following:

(20 x^4 + 30 x^2)/(5 x^3 - 15 x)

Factor 5 x out of 5 x^3 - 15 x:

(20 x^4 + 30 x^2)/(5 x (x^2 - 3))

Factor 10 x^2 out of 20 x^4 + 30 x^2:

(10 x^2 (2 x^2 + 3))/(5 x (x^2 - 3))

10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:

(2 x^2 (2 x^2 + 3))/(x (x^2 - 3))

Combine powers. (2 x^2 (2 x^2 + 3))/(x (x^2 - 3)) = (2 x^(2 - 1) (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3):

(2 x^(2 - 1) (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3)

2 - 1 = 1:

Answer: (2 x (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3)

As a town gets​ smaller, the population of its high school decreases by 4% each year. The senior class has 320 students now. In
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

  • c(n) = 320·0.96^n
  • 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the class size is multiplied by 1 - 4% = 96% = 0.96. After n years, it has been multiplied by that number n times. Repeated multiplication is signified using an exponent.

Class size (c) can be modeled by ...

  c(n) = 320·0.96^n

__

You want to find n such that c(n) = 100. Put in that value and solve.

  100 = 320·0.96^n

  100/320 = 0.96^n . . . . . . . divide by 320

  log(100/320) = n·log(0.96) . . . . . . . take logs

  log(100/320)/log(0.96) = n ≈ 28.4932

In about 28 years, the class will have 100 students.
