Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This function can never equal 0. Why? well here:

(f/g)(x) also just means $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ . In this case, we get $\frac{x^2-x-12}{x-4}$ Or $\frac{(x+3)(x-4)}{x-4}$ . It seems like you can cancel out x-4 and bam, you get x+3 and any value should work.

However, x can never equal 4 because 4 leads to a case where you divide by 0. This is called discontinuity. Thus, the value you can't get is x=4, or 7 because when you plug 4 in, you get 0/0. Otherwise, any other real value is defined by x+3.

Q2 - With decimals

Mila [183]

Answer:

Simplify the following algebraic expressions.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6

2(x - 9) + 6(-x + 2) + 4x

3x2 + 12 + 9x - 20 + 6x2 - x

(x + 2)(x + 4) + (x + 5)(-x - 1)

1.2(x - 9) - 2.3(x + 4)

(x2y)(xy2)

(-x2y2)(xy2)

Solution

Group like terms and simplify.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6 = (- 6x + 12x) + (5 - by

Solution

Use rules of exponential to simplify the numerator first.

(a b2)(a3 b) / (a2 b3) = (a4 b3) / (a2 b3)

Rewrite as follows.

(a4 / a2) (b3 / b3)

Use rule of quotient of exponentials to simplify.

= a2

Rewrite as follows.

(21 x5) / (3 x4) = (21 / 3)(x5 / x4)

Simplify.

= 7 x

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ]

Multiply terms in numerator and denominator and simplify.

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ] = (24 x4 y2) / (48 x2 y)

Rewrite as follows.

= (24 / 48)(x4 / x2)(y2 / y)

Simplify.

= (1 / 2) x2 y

Factor 4 out in the numerator.

(4x - 12) / 4 = 4(x - 3) / 4

Simplify.

= x - 3

Factor -5 out in the numerator.

(-5x - 10) / (x + 2) = - 5 (x + 2) / (x + 2)

Simplify.

= - 5

Factor numerator and denominator as follows.

(x2 - 4x - 12) / (x2 - 2x - 24) = [(x - 6)(x + 2)] / [(x - 6)(x + 4)]

Simplify.

= (x + 2) / (x + 4) , for all x not equal to 6

Solve for x the following linear equations.

2x = 6

6x - 8 = 4x + 4

4(x - 2) = 2(x + 3) + 7

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

- x / 5 = 2

(x - 4) / (- 6) = 3

(-3x + 1) / (x - 2) = -3

x / 5 + (x - 1) / 3 = 1/5

Solution

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 and simplify.

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 8 + 8 = 4x + 4 + 8

6x = 4x + 12

Add - 4x to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 4x = 4x + 12 - 4x

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2 and simplify.

x = 6

Expand brackets.

4x - 8 = 2x + 6 + 7

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 8 + 8 = 2x + 6 + 7 + 8

4x = 2x + 21

Add - 2x to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 2x = 2x + 21 - 2x

2x = 21

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 21 / 2

Add 1.6 to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

0.1 x - 1.6 + 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3 + 1.6

0.1 x = 0.2 x + 3.9

Add - 0.2 x to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 0.2 x = 0.2 x + 3.9 - 0.2 x

- 0.1 x = 3.9

Divide both sides by - 0.1 and simplify.

x = - 39

Multiply both sides by - 5 and simplify.

- 5(- x / 5) = - 5(2

What is the y intercept of the line - 4 x + 6 y = - 12?

Solution

Set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

- 4 (0) + 6 y = - 12

6 y = - 12

y = - 2

y intercept: (0 , - 2)

What is the x intercept of the line - 3 x + y = 3?

Solution

Set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.

- 3 x + 0 = 3

x = -1

x intercept: (-1 , 0)

What is point of intersection of the lines x - y = 3 and - 5 x - 2 y = - 22?

Solution

A point of intersection of two lines is solution to the equations of both lines. To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we need to solve the system of equations x - y = 3 and -5 x - 2 y = -22 simultaneously. Equation x - y = 3 can be solved for x to give

x = 3 + y

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation - 5 x - 2 y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation -5 x - 2 y = - 22 and solve for y

x = 3 + y = 3 + 1 = 4

Point of intersection: (4 , 1)

For what value of the constant k does the line - 4 x + k y = 2 pass through the point (2,-3)?

Solution

For the line to pass through the point (2,-3), the ordered pair (2,-3) must be a solution to the equation of the line. We substitute x by 2 abd y by - 3 in the equation.

- 4(2) + k(-3) = 2

Solve the for k to obtain

k = - 10 / 3

What is the slope of the line with equation y - 4 = 10?

Solution

Write the given equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the slope m.

y = 14

It is a horizontal line and therefore the slope is equal to 0.

What is the slope of the line with equation 2 x = -8?

Solution

The above equation may be written as

x = - 4

It is a vertical line and therefore the slope is undefined.

Find the x and y intercepts of the line with equation x = - 3?

Solution

The above is a vertical line with x intercept only given by

(-3 , 0)

Find the x and y intercepts of the line with equation 3 y - 6 = 3?

Solution

The given equation may be written as

y = 3

The above is a horizontal line with y intercept only given by

(0 , 3)

What is the slope of a line parallel to the x axis?

Solution

A line parallel to the x axis is a horizontal line and its slope is equal to 0.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the x axis?

Solution

A line perpendicular to the x axis is a vertical line and its slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

“I really feel like it’s time for me to get a credit card. I learned how important

Gennadij [26K]

The first misconception is that the balance shouldn't be paid off in full in order to boost the credit score. This is simply not true. You can pay off all of the balance and it will actually improve the score. The score reflects the ability to pay borrowed money back. A credit card is basically a micro-loan of sorts. So if George pays off the balance, he's paying back the credit card company and that tells the company (and others) that his ability to pay is good. Plus it tells about his priorities which is what the credit score indirectly indicates. Other companies will see that George can pay the money back, so they'll be more eager to lend to him.

The other misconception is that being late is fine and improving the payment habits is what brings up the score. This is murky gray area and somewhat true but also somewhat false. What happens is that if you are late then your score goes down by some amount. When you improve the payment habits, the score goes back up. Whether it goes back to the original value or larger depends on the situation. So the second claim George makes is technically true, but there's broader context to consider. It's similar to how if you shoot yourself in the foot in some videogame, and then let your foot heal up, then you're increasing health points. The first act shouldn't have needed to happen and it reflects a weird backwards thinking. If anything, it wastes time where George could have simply been improving the score (rather than decrease it only to increase it back).

The reality is that keeping up with the payments in a timely fashion is what keeps the credit score healthy. Once again, the score reflects someone's ability to pay back borrowed money. It applies to any kind of loan, which a credit card is a part of.

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

In short, George is mistaken by two claims he makes

Not paying off the balance in full improves the credit score
Being late on payments, and then improving payment habits, will increase the credit score

When in reality keeping up with payments and paying off the balance will improve the credit score. There's no need to hinder oneself on purpose in the goal of improving from that contrived setback.

Side note: the credit card company wants you to carry a balance so they can charge interest on said balance. That's how they make most of their money. However, even if you go against the wishes of the credit card company, they won't ding you credit score points for paying off the balance in full.
