Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3a+6}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{a^{2} -4}{4a}$ = $\frac{3(a+2)}{8}$ * $\frac{4a}{(a+2)(a-2)}$

take out (a+2) and 4

$\frac{3}{2}$ * $\frac{a}{(a-2)}$ = $\frac{3a}{2(a-2)}$

The members of a health spa pay annual membership dues of $300 plus a charge of $2 for each visit to the spa. Let Y denote the d

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Y = 300 + 2X

Y( in dollars)

It is a functional relationship because a change in the value of X results in a corresponding change in the value of Y. And does not involve any uncertainty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Annual fixed due = $300

Variable cost = $2 per visit

X = number of visits in a year

Y = total yearly cost.

Y = annual cost + variable cost

Y = $300 + $2×X

Y = 300 + 2X

Y( in dollars)

It is a functional relationship because a change in the value of X results in a corresponding change in the value of Y. And does not involve any uncertainty.

Can someone explain this please?

Greeley [361]

$\left( 8 \times 10^{-5}\right)\cdot \left( 5 \times 10^{-6}\right)\\ \\ =\left( 8 \times 5\right)\cdot \left( 10^{-5} \times 10^{-6}\right)$

1) first do the integer part $\left( 8 \times 5\right)=40$

2) then do the exponent part $\left( 10^{-5} \times 10^{-6}\right)$ = ???

3) Once you do the first two steps... adjust your answer to scientific notation...
