<em>Answer: </em>d - 2 and d cannot equal 8

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em> To simplify this rational expression, start by factoring both the numerator and the denominator.

So factoring the numerator in this problem, we have a

trinomial that factors as the product of two binomials.

So we are looking for factors of +16 that add to -10 which are -8 and -2.

So we have (d - 8)(d - 2) in the numerator.

The denominator doesn't factor however.

So we have \frac{(d - 8)(d - 2)}{(d - 8)} and the d - 8's cancel leaving us with d - 2.

The values d cannot be happen when the denominator is set equal to 0.

So we have d - 8 = 0 which means d = 8.

This means d = 8 wouldn't work!

Answer:

d-2  and d cannot = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

d^2 -10d+16

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

d-8

Factor the numerator

( d-8)(d-2)

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

d-8

The undefined values occur when the denominator is equal to zero

d-8 = 0  

  d= 8

This means d cannot equal 8

Now cancel like terms in the equation ( d-8)

This yields d-2

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

114

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(7) substitute x = 7 into f(x), that is

f(7) = 268 - 22(7) = 268 - 154 = 114
