\dfrac{5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21}{(x-3)(x^2-2)^2}=\dfrac{a_1}{x-3}+\dfrac{a_2x+a_3}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{a_4x+a_5}{(x^2-2)^2}
\implies 5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=a_1(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(a_4x+a_5)(x-3)

When x=3, you're left with

147=49a_1\implies a_1=\dfrac{147}{49}=3

When x=\sqrt2 or x=-\sqrt2, you're left with

\begin{cases}17-8\sqrt2=(\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(\sqrt2-3)&\text{for }x=\sqrt2\\17+8\sqrt2=(-\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(-\sqrt2-3)\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}-5+\sqrt2=\sqrt2a_4+a_5\\-5-\sqrt2=-\sqrt2a_4+a_5\end{cases}

Adding the two equations together gives -10=2a_5, or a_5=-5. Subtracting them gives 2\sqrt2=2\sqrt2a_4, a_4=1.

Now, you have

5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(x-5)(x-3)
5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3x^4-11x^2-8x+27+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)
2x^4-7x^3-x^2+14x-6=(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)

By just examining the leading and lagging (first and last) terms that would be obtained by expanding the right side, and matching these with the terms on the left side, you would see that a_2x^4=2x^4 and a_3(-3)(-2)=6a_3=-6. These alone tell you that you must have a_2=2 and a_3=-1.

So the partial fraction decomposition is

\dfrac3{x-3}+\dfrac{2x-1}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x^2-2)^2}

Help me solve this problem!!PLEASE help I need this answer and I need to know how to solve this by today!!

She wants to purchase shoes that cost $ 50
she wants to purchase socks that cost 2.20 each......so the expression for this is 2.20s...with s being the number of pairs of socks bought
and she only has $ 64....so she has to spend 64 or less...< = 64

so ur inequality would be :
50 + 2.20s < =  64.....subtract 50 from both sides
2.20s < = 64 - 50
2.20s < = 14...divide both sides by 2.20
s < = 14 / 2.20
s < = 6.36....so she can purchase 6 pairs of socks without going over

In a certain community, 30% of the families own a dog, and 20% of the families that own a dog also own a cat. It is also known t
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) 0.06

b) 0.778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose a community of 100 families just to facilitate the calculation.

30% of the families own a dog

Dog = 30% of 100 = 30

20% of the families that own a dog also own a cat = 20% of 30 = 6

27% of all the families own a cat = 27% of 100 = 27

So, 6 families own a dog and a cat.

As 30 families own a dog, [30 - 6 =] 24 families own only dogs

As 27 families own a cat, [27 - 6 = ] 21 families own only cats

See picture attached.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat?

P(dog and cat) = dog ∩ cat/total = 6/100 = 0.06

b) What is the conditional probability that a randomly selected family doesn't own a dog given that it owns a cat?

So, only cat/total cat

P (not dog|cat) = 21/27 = 0.778

PSYCHO15rus [73]
So since each car wash equals $7, you round 12 to 10 and $7 * 10 = $70.
Plus, 22 to 20.
So, $70 * 20 = $1400
So the answer is 1,400

Benjamin's age is 6 years less than twice Lucas's age. If Benjamin is 12 years old, how old is Lucas? Choose the answer below th
julsineya [31]

We can express Benjamin's age with x, we can express Luca's age as y.

x-6=2y

So, if x=12

2y=6

y=3

Therfore, Lucas is 3 years old

Create three fractions whose product is -5/24. You may only use fractions between -8/9 to 8/9 and you can only use a fraction on
damaskus [11]

Answer:

We find 3/4-5/24 = 0.54166666666 and try 2/7 x 6/8 = 0.21428571428

this is 0.069 too much we look at this as a fraction = 0.07 which is 1/10 approx of the 6/8. we then reapply 7/9 x 2/7 x 3/3 = 0.2

So we went up by 1 and can show another

2/7 x 7/10 = 2.0

So to 1dp there is lots of fractions including 2/7 x 7/9 = 2.0

But for three fractions that multiply together we can chose 5/7 x 2/6 x 6/6 = 2.0  As 5 x 2 x 6 = 60 and 60/360-102 = 60/258 = 0.20 and divided 198 =numbers 8 and 1/3 work with = 1.98/8.3 = 2.38554

We try again 1.68/8.3 = -0.2024 = 2/8 x 8/10 = 0.2

The balance is 1.3/2 x 0.8/2 = 0.65 x 0.333 = 13/20 x 1/3

3/5 x 1/3 = 0.2
