Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = -20x^2 +14x +12 and

g(x) = 5x - 6

We need to find f/g and state its domain.

f/g = -20x^2 +14x +12/5x - 6

Taking -2 common from numerator:

f/g = -2(10x^2 - 7x - 6) / 5x -6

Factorize 10x^2 - 7x - 6= 10x^2 - 12x +5x -6

Putting in the above equation

f/g = -2(10x^2 - 12x +5x -6)/ 5x -6

f/g = -2(2x(5x-6) + 1 (5x-6)) / 5x-6

f/g = -2 ( (2x+1)(5x-6))/5x-6

cancelling 5x-6 from numerator and denominator

f/g = -2(2x+1)

f/g = -4x -2

The domain of the function is set of all values for which the function is defined and real.

So, our function g(x) = 5x -6 and domain will be all real numbers except x = 6/5 as denominator will be zero if x=5/6 and the function will be undefined.

So, Option B is correct.

ANSWER

-4x-2; all real numbers except x=6/5

Option B is correct.

EXPLANATION

The given functions are:

$f(x) = - 20 {x}^{2} + 14x + 12$

We factor to get,

$f(x) = - 2(10 {x}^{2} - 7x - 6)$

Split the middle term:

$f(x) = - 2(10 {x}^{2} + 5x - 12x - 6)$

$f(x) = - 2(5x(2{x} + 1)- 6(2x + 1))$

$f(x) = - 2(2{x} + 1)(5x - 6)$

and

$g(x) = 5x - 6$

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = \frac{ - 20x + 14x + 12}{5x - 6}$

where 5x-6≠0

x≠6/5

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = \frac{- 2(2{x} + 1)(5x - 6)}{5x - 6}$

Cancel the common factors to get,

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = - 2(2{x} + 1)$

$( \frac{f}{g} ) = - 4{x} - 2$

3.8:(4c+3)=2:2 2/19 Please help me! I really appreciate it!

Sati [7]

Please note that in such questions, the ":" stands for ratio which in turn stands for divide. Thus, the given expression which is:

$3.8:(4c+3)=2:2\frac{2}{19}$ will become:

$\frac{3.8}{4c+3}= \frac{2}{2\frac{2}{19}}$ .....(Equation 1)

Now, we know that 3.8 can be rewritten as $\frac{38}{10}$ . Also, we know that the mixed fraction $2\frac{2}{19}$ can be re-written as:

$2\frac{2}{19}=2+ \frac{2}{19}= \frac{38+2}{19}= \frac{40}{19}$

Using the above two expressions in (Equation 1) we get:

$\frac{\frac{38}{10}}{4c+3}= \frac{2}{\frac{40}{19}}$

$\frac{\frac{38}{10}} {4c+3}= \frac{2\times 19}{40}= \frac{38}{40}$

Cross-multiplication gives:

$38(4c+3)=\frac{40\times 38}{10}$

$4c+3=4$ $4c=1$

$c=\frac{1}{4}$

Or c=0.25

Thus, we may write the value of c as either the decimal 0.25 or the fraction $\frac{1}{4}$ .

A bag contains 5 gold marbles, 10 silver marbles, and 26 black marbles. The rules of the game are as follows: You randomly selec

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

You will most likely lose $1 from playing this game

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets look at the info they gave us...

Gold-$5 (We have 5)

Silver-$2 (We have 10)

Black-$0 (We have 26)

Total Marbles: 41

So now we can find the probability of us picking each color and we will use the color with the highest probability to make the logical assumption of what our profits or loss will be, let's go!

So the chances of us picking gold will be 5/41 because there are only five in the entire batch of 41 marbles, so that seems pretty low

The chances of us picking a silver marble is 10/41 which is pretty decent, we have about a 25% chance, we'll keep that one in mind.

The chances of us picking a black marble is 26/41, which is over 50 percent! We are going to use this color because the probability of us choosing it is over TWICE the probability of the other colors combined!

Now we need to refocus on what the question is asking, "What is the expected profit or loss if you play this game?"

Well we now know that we are expected to pick a black marble, which is worth nothing according to the info they gave us.

Thus, we can make a conclusion that since we earn nothing, and we pay $1 to play the game, we will lose $1.

Hope I helped!!!! :)

Trevor’s total employment compensation is $33,500. If Trevor has no job expenses and his gross pay is $28,600, then his total em

forsale [732]

X% of $28,600 is $33,500
x/100 * 28,600 = 33,500
x = 33,500 * 100 / 28,600
x = 117.13% = 117%

117% - 100% = 17%

The answer would be 17%.
Glad to help :)

A recent trend in advertising is viral marketing. The goal is to convince viewers to share an amusing advertisement by e-mail or

77julia77 [94]

I'm not sure what you are looking for but I'll answer this question based on what I think is needed.

Given:
Day 1: 130
Day 2: 130 x 4 = 520
Day 3: 520 x 4 = 2,080

The exponential equation of this problem is:
V(n) = 130(4)^n

Where n is the number of days since the video was first shown.

Let us assume that 10 days have past. Total view would be:

V(n) = 130(4)^n

V(10) = 130(4)^10
V(10) = 130(1,048,576)
V(10) = 136,314,880

After 10 days, there are more than 136 Million views of the viral video.

When compared with the independent variable, how many of the graphs represent a linear relationship?

strojnjashka [21]

Since a slope differe, this is not linear relationship. Simply, if you connect all points on the graph, they will not lie on the same line. Two next graphs represent the linear relationships, so they represent the linear relationship.
