Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we plug our numbers into this expression, it reads:

5*2-(-2)

This is also the same as 5*2+2

So, 5 times 2 is 10 plus 2 equals 12.

Simplify f+g / f-g when f(x)= x-4 / x+9 and g(x)= x-9 / x+4

steposvetlana [31]

$f(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9};\ g(x)=\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}\\\\f(x)+g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}+\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)+(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2+x^2-9^2}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-16-81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\f(x)-g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}-\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)-(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2-(x^2-9^2)}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{x^2-16-x^2+81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}$

$\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=(f+g):(f-g)=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}:\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\cdot\dfrac{(x+9)(x+4)}{65}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{65}}$

Solve to the correct order

Marianna [84]

32^3/5 = 8

64^2/3 = 16

81^1/4 = 3

49^1/2 = 7

125^2/3 = 25

now just put them in order from the smallest value to the largest
