4/y+2 - 9/y-2 = 9/y^2-4

2 answers:

8 0

Going off the idea that this is 4/(y+2) - 9/(y-2) = 9/(y^2-4), let's first rewrite y^2-4 in the form of a^2-b^2, where a=y and b=2.
y/(y+2)-9/(y-2)=9/(y^2-2^2)
Now, use difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
4/(y+2)-9/(y-2)=9/((y+2)(y-2))
Multiply both sides by the Least Common Denominator: (y+2)(y-2)
4(y-2)-9(y+2)=9
Then keep on simplifying until you get your answer
-5y-26=9
-5y=9+26
-5y=35
y=35/-5
y=-7
Yay! Our answer is y=-7!

Avaluate 2^3x-1 for x=1

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

4 or 7 (Check the explanation to see which one your equation actually is.

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing I want to clarify for you, It's Evaluate, not Avaluate.

Okay so, we want to find the value of 2^3x-1 and we know x = 1.

You didn't really clarify if the expression was $2^{3x-1}$ or $2^{3x}-1$ , so I'll be doing both:

For $2^{3x-1}$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)-1}$ and then simplify to get $2^{2}$ .

2 to the power of 2 or $2^{2}$ is equal to 2 * 2 or 4.

The second one, $2^{3x}-1$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)}-1$ and then to become $2^{3}-1$ . 2 to the power of 3 or $2^{3}$ is 8 and then minus 1 is 7.

How do you compare two-way frequencies in a relative frequency table

Nikolay [14]

To avoid such problems when comparing the categorical variables in a two-way frequency table, we need to exam the table by separate categories (rows or columns). When a relative frequency is determined based upon a row or column, it is called a "conditional" relative frequency.
Two-way relative frequency tables show what percent of data points fit in each category. ...
For example, here's how we would make column relative frequencies:
Step 1: Find the totals for each column.
Step 2: Divide each cell count by its column total and convert to a percentage.

Explain why x squared -8x+20 is always positive

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

to square a number you multiply the number by itself.

a positive number times a positive number is a positive number.

a negative number times a negative number is a negative number.

and if you are multiplying 2 numbers with the same sign they will always be a positive number.

What is the probability of getting an odd number on a fair die and a tail on coin flip?

Arada [10]

So we know that the dice had 6 numbers which is 1 to 6, and we know that the odd number between 1 and 6 is 1,3,5. As a result, the probability of rolling an odd number on a fair die is 3/6 or 1/2, and we already know that probability of flipping a tail on a coin is 1/2, so I just take 1/2 times 1/2 to get 1/4 which is C. Hope it help!
