The answer is twelve because to Make the two fractions denominators equal you have to multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get the denominators equal which gets you a fraction of 12/16 and if you divide that by 1/16 because that is how long each lap is then you get 16 which is the amount of laps they swam
Hello, I’m not super sure about the last part but to get 1 divide 20 by 20 and then from 1 multiply by 12 to get 12. I hope this helps :)
C.
Notice that both sides point towards infinity. This means that it is an even degree. Also, it crosses the x axis twice, which makes it have 2 real zeroes.
(x²+5)½ + (x²+5)³/²
->(x+√5) +(x³+√125)
->(x+√5)+(x³+5√5)
->x+x³+√5+5√5
->2x³+6√5
->2(x³+3√5)
