\frac{b}{b-3} - \frac{5}{b} = \frac{3}{b-3}  \\   \frac{ b^{2} -5(b-3)}{b(b-3)} =\frac{b}{b-3} \\  \frac{ b^{2} -5b+15}{b^2-3b} =\frac{b}{b-3} \\ (b-3)(b^{2} -5b+15)=b(b^2-3b) \\ b^3-8b^2+30b-45=b^3-3b^2 \\ 5b^2-30b+45=0 \\ b^2-6b+9=0 \\ (b -3)(b-3)=0 \\ b=3

To check: 3/3-3 - 5/3 = 3/0 - 5/3 which is not defined.

Therefore, b = 3 is an extraneous solution.

The function appears to be L(legos) = T(tower)^3

L = T^3

This checks out for t =1,2,3,4

The 100th tower would have 100^3 legos.

100^3 = 1,000,000.

The 100th tower would have 1 million cubes

At the grocery store 1/5 of the groceries are produce. Of the produce 2/3 is vegetables. What fraction of the groceries in the g
netineya [11]
If you have 1/5 and 2/3, you need a common denominator to even do anything. So three and five both go into 15, so then you do 2 times 5, cause 3 times 5 is 15. And 1 times 3, cause 3 times 5 is 15. So you end up with 3/15 as produce, and 10/15 as vegetables. So, then you divide the fractions, 1/5 divided by 10/15, which is the same as 1/5 times 15/10. So your answer is 3/10 of the produce is vegetables.

Answer:

<h2>D. </h2><h2>{x | x = all real numbers}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of input or argument values for which the function is real and defined.

The function has no undefined points nor domain constraints. Therefore, the domain is

-\infty \:

\mathrm{Domain\:of\:}\:2\left|x-1\right|+3\::\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-\infty \:
