Answer:

$\frac{17x-2}{5x-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

10x/5x-2 + 7x-2/5x-2

$\frac{10x}{5x-2} + \frac{7x-2}{5x-2}$

Here both fractions have same denominator 5x-2

When the denominators are same then we can combine the numerators

we put denominator only once

$\frac{10x+7x-2}{5x-2}$

Now we simplify it

Combine like terms: 10x+7x becomes 17x

$\frac{17x-2}{5x-2}$

There is no common factor for the top and bottom

So we cannot simplify further

Cost of the car in "n" years=25000*(1+0.05)^n

Cost of the car in 2 years=25000*(1+0.05)^2=25000*(1.05)^2=27562.5

How do I solve this

Alina [70]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\displaystyle\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf S_{20}=\displaystyle\sum \limits_{n=1}^{\stackrel{\stackrel{n}{\downarrow }}{20}}~\stackrel{\stackrel{a_1}{\downarrow }}{3}(\stackrel{\stackrel{r}{\downarrow }}{1.5})^{n-1}\implies S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{1-1.5^{20}}{1-1.5} \right)\implies S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{1-\stackrel{\approx}{3325.3}}{-0.5} \right) \\\\\\ S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{-3324.3}{-0.5} \right)\implies S_{20}=3(6648.6)\implies S_{20}=19945.8$

In the function ƒ(x) = x2 + x + 1, which of the following represents the output value? Select one or more: A. f(x) B. x2 C. x D.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is f(x) because is the result of the quadratic sum, once the function is evaluated. Example:

Let be x= 2

Then f(2)= 4+2+1=7

Therefore the output is f(2) which is equal to 7.
