5 0

Answer:

11

Fifth term

Step-by-step explanation:

The third term is:

20 − (3)² = 11

If the term is negative:

20 − n² < 0

n² > 20

n > √20

n > 4.47

The first term to have a negative value is the fifth term.

What is the simplified form of x minus 2 over x squared plus x minus 6divided byx squared plus 5x plus 4 over x plus 4?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have asked for the simpilfied form of ...

x-\dfrac{2}{x^2}+x-\dfrac{6}{x^2}+5x+\dfrac{4}{x}+4

That would be ...

\dfrac{7x^3+4x^2+4x-4}{x^2}

We suspect that's not what you meant. Parentheses are required for grouping when you write math expressions in text form. They work best using math symbols instead of words. We think you mean

... ((x -2)/(x^2 +x -6))/((x^2 +5x +4)/(x +4))

_____

Maybe you want to simplify ...

\displaystyle\frac{\left(\frac{x-2}{x^2+x-6}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^2+5x+4}{x+4}\right)}=\frac{(x-2)(x+4)}{(x-2)(x+3)(x+4)(x+1)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+3)}=\frac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

<em>Comment on simplifying rational expressions</em>

Division of fractions works the same whether you're working with numbers or polynomials (or anything else). Dividing by something is the same as multiplying by its inverse (reciprocal).

(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c)

I learned this as "invert and multiply". I've recently seen it referred to as "copy dot flip", meaning you copy the numerator, use a dot symbol to indicate multipication, then flip the denominator (make its reciprocal) to become what you're multiplying by.

100 POINTS!!! Which statement about rational numbers is correct?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: Rational numbers have decimal expansions that repeat or terminate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation of this is the non-terminating but repeating decimal expansion means that although the decimal representation has an infinite number of digits, there is a repetitive pattern to it. The rational number whose denominator is having a factor other than 2 or 5, will not have a terminating decimal number as the result.
