Answer: C) 5

--------------

x = independent variable, y = dependent variable

Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.

-------------------

An alternative is to use the slope formula to get

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)

m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again

m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before

So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Though it is not what you have written, we think you want to simplify ...

$\dfrac{2(a-3)}{(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{(a-1)}{(3-a)(a-4)}+\dfrac{(a-2)}{(5-a)(a-3)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(a-3)^2}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{-(a-1)(a-5)}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{-(a-2)(a-4)}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(a^2-6a+9)-(a^2-6a+5)-(a^2-6a+8)}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{5}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}}$

When writing a fraction in plain text, parentheses are needed around the entire denominator. The order of operations tells you that a/bc = (a/b)c, not a/(bc).
