Answer:

a. \frac{2x + 3}{x+5}

b. x ≠ -5 (Vertical asymptote) and x ≠ 5 (Hole)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the numerator (Grouping):

2x^2 - 7x - 15              

Two numbers that multiply to -30 and add to -7 = -3 and 10

[2x^2 - 10x] + [3x - 15]

(2x + 3)(x - 5)

Factor the denominator (Difference of Two Squares):

x^2 - 25 = (x +5)(x-5)

Factored Expression:

(x - 5) can be factored out of top and bottom as a hole-

\frac{(2x + 3)(x - 5)}{(x + 5)(x - 5)} = \frac{2x + 3}{x+5}

Variable Restrictions:

Denominator ≠ 0

x + 5 = 0\\x = -5

Vertical asymptote at x = -5 ⇒ x ≠ -5

Earth to Neptune is the greatest distance. The number at the top is a power. So 22 to the power 4 is 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 = 234 256. 22 to the power 7 is 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 x 22 = 2 494 360 000. It is 22 to the power 3 larger which is 10 648 times greater.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An event driven programs are process of programming by which an algorithm is written by programming on a UI element, placing an event listener such that it handled when triggered by calling a call-back function.

E.g is a click event on a button which is a UI element. An event listener example, mouse down can placed on it, and if a user mouse down on it, it is handled by calling a call-back function which might be to open a new page on website.

A quadratic equation is shown: x2 + 18x + 76 = 0 Which of the following is the first correct step to write the above equation in
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

  x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine the constant that is needed to be able to write the expression in the desired form. That constant is the square of half the x-term coefficient: (18/2)^2 = 9^2 = 81.

The constant that is present is 76, which is 5 fewer than the needed constant, so the "first step" is to add 5 to both sides of the equation:

  x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5

Then the next step would be to write the left side as a square:

  (x +9)^2 = 5 . . . . . . . p = -9; q= 5
