Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A solution x =3 was extraneous for his function.

Extraneous solution defined as a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation because it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

The only function from the given options

f(x) = $x^2-2x-3$ has the solution x =3

therefore,

3 is excluded from the domain of the $\frac{x^2-2x-3}{x-3}$ because it would make the denominator of one of the fractions zero and division by zero is not allowed.

Therefore, it cannot be a root of the equation $\frac{x^2-2x-3}{x-3}$

After completing the fraction division 5 divided by five-thirds, Miko used the multiplication shown to check her work. 3 times f

Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

5 divided by five-thirds can be written in the fractional form is as follows :

$\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{3}}$

It can be also written as :

$\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{3}}=5\times \dfrac{3}{5}\\\\=3$

He has done calculations as follows :

3 x 5/3=3/1 x 5/3 = 15/3 or 5

Miko was wrong in the first step where he multiplied 3 by (5/3). It should be 5 multiplied by (3/5). He has done multiplication incorrectly.

Which person has the highest hourly <br> wage? How do you know?

Inga [223]

Answer:

Savannah

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the unit rate of all of the tables by dividing the values so that you know how much they earn per hour (ex. for Greg, the ratio is 3hours:$27 so divide all values by 3 to get 1hour:$9).

2. Compare all of the unit rate values (Savannah: $9.50 per hour, Greg: $9 per hour, and Kevin: $8.25 per hour).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be to find the LCM of both 3 and 5, which is 15. The 15th customer would receive both a mug and a t-shirt. Let's call mugs "x" and shirts "o" and line them up. The bold x's and o's are the lucky winners:

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

The last x and the last o are both bold for the first time right there, at the 15th letter of each.

The probability is 0.36 that the amount spent on a randomly selected child will be between what two value equidistant from the m

erastova [34]

Assuming a standard normal distribution, the positive value of interest will be that corresponding to the 50 + 36/2 = 68th percentile. A suitable probability calculator will give that value as 0.46770.

The values that are within ±0.46770 standard deviations from the mean will have a probability of 0.36.
