Answer:

P=\frac{5!2!4!3!3!5!}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have 5 groups of books from 5 different subjects, but, those groups consists of different number of books and they must be arranged together.

We can arrange them on the following way:

2 Engineering =2!

4 Computer Science =4!

3 Statistics =3!

3 Biology =3!

5 Music books =5!    

But, also, those 5 groups can change their places and they can be arranged on 5! ways, so we can arrange them on 5!2!4!3!3!5! ways.

But, required probability will be:

P=\frac{5!2!4!3!3!5!}{17}

because we have in total 17 books.

\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}

  • Simplify ⇨ 1/x(x+a) + 1/x(x-a)

\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER \: WITH \: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}

\sf\frac { 1 } { x ( x + a ) } + \frac { 1 } { x ( x - a ) } \\

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x\left(x+a\right) and x\left(x-a\right) is x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x\left(x+a\right)} times \frac{x-a}{x-a}. Multiply \frac{1}{x\left(x-a\right)} times \frac{x+a}{x+a}.

\sf\frac{x-a}{x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)}+\frac{x+a}{x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)}  \\

Because \frac{x-a}{x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)} and \frac{x+a}{x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

\sf\frac{x-a+x+a}{x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)}  \\

Combine like terms in x-a+x+a.

\sf\frac{2x}{x\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)}  \\

Cancel out x in both the numerator and denominator.

\sf\frac{2}{\left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right)}  \\

Expand \left(x+a\right)\left(x-a\right).

\boxed{\boxed{ \bf\frac{2}{x^{2}-a^{2}}}}  \\

Consider the function f(x)=-3x^2 +7x -k. [3 Marks] a) For what values of k will the function have no zeros? b) For what values o
Anna35 [415]

Answer: a) k >4.08

b) k = 4.08

c) k<4.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

f(x)=-3x^2+7x-k

a) For what values of k will the function have no zeros?

It mean it has no real zeroes i.e. Discriminant < 0

As we know that

D=b^2-4ac

Here, a =-3

b = 7

c = -k

So, it becomes,

D

b) For what values of k will the function have one zero?

It means it has one real root i.e equal roots.

So, in this case, D = 0

So, it becomes,

D=b^2-4ac=0\\\\D=7^2-4\times -3\times -k=0\\\\49-12k=0\\\\49=12k\\\\k=\dfrac{49}{12}\\\\k=4.08

c) For what values of k will the function have two zeros?

It means it has two real roots.

In this case, D>0

So, it becomes,

D=7^2-4\times -3\times -k>0\\\\49-12k>0\\\\-12k>-49\\\\12k

Hence, a) k >4.08

b) k = 4.08

c) k<4.08

what is equivalent to 4/7 x 5/9 my options are A 5/9 divided by 4/7 B 4/7 divided by 5/9 C 4/9 divided by 5/7 D 4/7 divided by 9
Semmy [17]
The answer is D

Because in dividing fraction the second fraction has to be reversed so for example: 6/5 is suppose to be 5/6

So in this case the answer is D
