Reduce the following rational expression to the lowest form

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

4x(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the numerator and denominator

64x^{5} - 64x ← factor out 64x from both terms

= 64x(x^{4} - 1) ← difference of squares

= 64x(x² - 1)(x² + 1) ← x² - 1 is also a difference of squares

= 64x(x - 1)(x + 1)(x² + 1)

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

(8x² + 8)(2x + 2) ← factor out 8 and 2 from each factor

= 8(x² + 1) × 2(x + 1)

= 16(x² + 1)(x + 1)

Then expression can be written as

\frac{64x(x-1)(x+1)(x^2+1)}{16(x^2+1)(x+1)} ← cancel (x² + 1) and (x + 1) on numerator/ denominator

= \frac{64x(x-1)}{16} ← cancel common factor 16 on numerator/ denominator

= 4x(x - 1)

Approximately 9 out of every 50 people who saw a movie this week say they watched it on Netflix. Suppose we want to find the pro
uysha [10]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. As a fraction: 9/50</u>
  • <u>2. As a proportion: x/1 = 9/50</u>
  • <u>3. As a percentage: 18%</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. As a fraction:</u>

Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:

  • Probability = number of movie-goers who say they watched a movie on Netflix this week / number of movie-goers that saw a movie this week

  • Probability = 9 / 50

<u>2. As a proportion:</u>

A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.

Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:

  • x / 1 = 9 / 50

Where x is the probability.

<u>3. As a percentage</u>

You just have to multiply the probability by 100:

  • (9/50) × 100 = 18%

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 72. Let x represent the least consecutive integer.
Arlecino [84]
The integers are x, x + 2 and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 6 = 66
x = 66/3 = 22

The least consecutive integer is 22
The second consecutive integer is 24
Therefore, the numbers are 22, 24 and 26
