At least you can write it as the sum of half of it twice, that is:
2/x = 1/x + 1/x
whatever x number you have, for example:
2/5 = 1/5 + 1/5
But then, you can express a fraction in many different ways, for example again:
2/5 = <span>1/5 + 1/5 = 2/10 + 2/10
</span>= 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10
so there are an infinite ways of expressing such a fraction.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
( x + 4 )^2 + y^2 = 22
x^2 + 2 × x × 4 + 4^2 + y^2 = 22
x^2 + 8x + 16 + y^2 = 22
y^2 = 22 - x^2 - 8x - 16
y^2 = - x^2 - 8x + 6
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the answer is:
D. y^2 = - x^2 - 8x + 6

Answer: The required characteristic polynomial of the given matrix A is 
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the characteristic polynomial of the following 3 × 3 matrix A with unknown variable x :
![A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\4&-3&4\\-2&0&-3\end{array}\right].](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D0%260%261%5C%5C4%26-3%264%5C%5C-2%260%26-3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D.)
We know that
for any square matrix M, the characteristic polynomial is given by
where I is an identity matrix of same order as M.
Therefore, the characteristic polynomial of matrix A is
![|A-xI|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left|\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\4&-3&4\\-2&0&-3\end{array}\right]-x\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]\right|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left|\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-x&0&1\\4&-3-x&4\\-2&0&-3-x\end{array}\right] \right|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow -x(3+x)^2+1(0-6-2x)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+3)(-3x-x^2-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+3)(x^2+3x+2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^3+6x+11x+6=0.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7CA-xI%7C%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Cleft%7C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D0%260%261%5C%5C4%26-3%264%5C%5C-2%260%26-3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D-x%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%260%5C%5C0%261%260%5C%5C0%260%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cright%7C%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Cleft%7C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-x%260%261%5C%5C4%26-3-x%264%5C%5C-2%260%26-3-x%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cright%7C%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20-x%283%2Bx%29%5E2%2B1%280-6-2x%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%20%28x%2B3%29%28-3x-x%5E2-2%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%28x%2B3%29%28x%5E2%2B3x%2B2%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20x%5E3%2B6x%2B11x%2B6%3D0.)
Thus, the required characteristic polynomial of the given matrix A is 
X should equal 52. Sorry if I am wrong.
