Answer:

-\frac{16}{17}\\-0.94117

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{2\left(9+3\right)-4-3}{4\left(8\right)}}\\\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a\\=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{2\left(9+3\right)-4-3}{4\cdot \:8}}\\\frac{2\left(9+3\right)-4-3}{4\cdot \:8}=\frac{17}{32}\\\frac{2\left(9+3\right)-4-3}{4\cdot \:8}\\2\left(9+3\right)-4-3=17\\2\left(9+3\right)-4-3\\2\left(9+3\right)=24\\2\left(9+3\right)\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:9+3=12\\=2\cdot \:12\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:12=24\\=24-4-3

\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:24-4-3=17\\=\frac{17}{4\cdot \:8}\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:8=32\\=\frac{17}{32}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\=-\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{17}{32}}\\\mathrm{Divide\:fractions}:\quad \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a\cdot \:d}{b\cdot \:c}\\=-\frac{1\cdot \:32}{2\cdot \:17}\\Refine\\=-\frac{32}{2\cdot \:17}\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:17=34\\=-\frac{32}{34}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2\\=-\frac{16}{17}\\\mathrm{Decimal:\quad }\:-0.94117

1.) Which domain restrictions apply to the rational expression? 14x-2x / x^2-7x
mezya [45]

Answer:

3. \displaystyle 1\frac{1}{3} = x

2<em>C.</em> \displaystyle III.

2<em>B.</em> \displaystyle I.

2<em>A.</em> \displaystyle II.

1. \displaystyle Set-Builder\:Notation: [x|7, 0 ≠ x] \\ Interval\:Notation: (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, 7) ∪ (7, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

3. <em>See</em><em> </em><em>above</em>.

2<em>C</em>. The keyword is ratio, which signifies division, so you would choose "III.".

2<em>B</em>. The keyword is percent, which signifies multiplication of a ratio by 100, so you would choose "I.".

2<em>A</em>. The keyword is total, which signifies addition, so you would choose "II.".

1. Base this off of the denominator. Knowing that the denominator CANNOT be zero, you will get this:

\displaystyle x^2 - 7x \\ x[x - 7] = 0; 7, 0 = x \\ \\ Set-Builder\:Notation: [x|7, 0 ≠ x] \\ Interval\:Notation: (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, 7) ∪ (7, ∞)

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
