Answer:

The difference of \frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}  is \mathbf{\frac{x-17}{3x}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the difference: \frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}

Simplifying to find the difference:

\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}

x is common in both 3x and x^2 so, we can cancel it out and we get:

=\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x(x)}\\=\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3}{x}

Now, taking LCM of 3x and x we get 3x, We will multiply 3x with both terms and then solve we get:

=\frac{x-8-3(3)}{3x}\\=\frac{x-8-9}{3x}\\=\frac{x-17}{3x}

It cannot be further simplified, so we get \frac{x-17}{3x} as answer.

So, The difference of \frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}  is \mathbf{\frac{x-17}{3x}}

Answer:

Given that you're providing only a single term, asking for a difference doesn't make a lot of sense.  I assume you're asking to have the expression simplified?

If so, then it can be reduced to (x - 17) / 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify by multiplying both terms each by a different ratio that equals one, but also gives the terms common denominator.  Multiplying the first one by x²/x² and the second by 3x/3x will do that for you.

After that you can group the terms into one fraction and simplify:

\frac{x - 8}{3x} - \frac{3x}{x^2}  \\\\= \frac{x - 8}{3x}\times\frac{x^2}{x^2} - \frac{3x}{x^2} \times\frac{3x}{3x} \\\\= \frac{x^3 - 8x^2}{3x^3} - \frac{9x^2}{3x^3} \\\\=  \frac{x^3 - 8x^2 - 9x^2}{3x^3} \\\\=  \frac{x - 8 - 9}{3x}\\\\=   \frac{x - 17}{3x}\\

Determine the number of degrees of freedom for the two-sample t test or CI in each of the following situations. (Round your answ
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Part a ) The degrees of freedom for the given two sample non-pooled t test is 24

Part b ) The degrees of freedom for the given two sample non-pooled t test is 30

Part c ) The degrees of freedom for the given two sample non-pooled t test is 30

Part d ) The degrees of freedom for the given two sample non-pooled t test is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Degrees of freedom for a non-pooled two sample t-test is given by;

Δf = {[ s₁²/m + s₂²/n ]²} / {[( s₁²/m)²/m-1] + [(s₂²/n)²/n-1]}

Now given the information;

a) :- m = 12, n = 15, s₁ = 4.0, s₂ = 6.0

we substitute

Δf =  {[ 4²/12 + 6²/15 ]²} / {[( 4²/12)²/12-1] + [(6²/15)²/15-1]}

Δf  = 30184 / 1241

Δf  = 24.3223 ≈ 24 (down to the nearest whole number)

b) :- m = 12, n = 21, s₁ = 4.0, s₂ = 6.0

we substitute using same formula

Δf = {[ s₁²/m + s₂²/n ]²} / {[( s₁²/m)²/m-1] + [(s₂²/n)²/n-1]}

Δf = {[ 4²/12 + 6²/21 ]²} / {[( 4²/12)²/12-1] + [(6²/21)²/21-1]}

Δf = 56320 / 1871

Δf = 30.1015 ≈ 30 (down to the nearest whole number)

c) :- m = 12, n = 21, s₁ = 3.0, s₂ = 6.0

we substitute using same formula

Δf = {[ s₁²/m + s₂²/n ]²} / {[( s₁²/m)²/m-1] + [(s₂²/n)²/n-1]}

Δf = {[ 3²/12 + 6²/21 ]²} / {[( 3²/12)²/12-1] + [(6²/21)²/21-1]}

Δf = 29095 / 949

Δf = 30.6585 ≈ 30 (down to the nearest whole number)

d) :- m = 10, n = 24, s₁ = 4.0, s₂ = 6.0

we substitute using same formula

Δf = {[ s₁²/m + s₂²/n ]²} / {[( s₁²/m)²/m-1] + [(s₂²/n)²/n-1]}

Δf = {[ 4²/10 + 6²/24 ]²} / {[( 4²/10)²/10-1] + [(6²/24)²/24-1]}

Δf = 1044 / 41  

Δf = 25.4634 ≈ 25 (down to the nearest whole number).

Help........Write an equation and solve:
Tom [10]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the formulas for the weights of the two boys:

J's weight = 120 lb + (10 lb/mo)m  = D's weight = 150 lb + (4 lb/mo)m

Solve as follows:  Subtract 120 lb from both sides:

(10 lb/mo)m = 30 lb + (4 lb/mo)m.

Then:  (6 lb/mo)m = 30 lb, and m = (30 lb) / (6 lb/mo) = 5 months

A water balloon is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 40 ft/sits height h(t) in ft after t seconds is given by the f
olga_2 [115]

h(t) = -46t² + 40t + 3

We can think this graph by t being the x-axis and h being y-axis

So we want the maximum value to y.

We know by math that the vertex of a parabola is (-b/2a, -Δ/4a)

So the y value of the vertex is -Δ/4a

Let's calculate:

Δ = b² - 4.a.c

Δ = 40² - 4.(-46).3

Δ = 2152

Yvertex = -2152/4.(-46)

Yvertex = 2152/184

Yvertex = 269/23

Now we have the value of y we need to equal it to the equation

269/23 = -46t² + 40t + 3

-46t² + 40t + 3 - 269/23 = 0

-46t² + 40t - 200/23 = 0

Δ = b² - 4.a.c  

Δ = 40² - 4 . -46 . (-200/23)  

Δ = 1600 - 4. -46 . (-200/23)  

Δ = 0

There's 1 real root.

In this case, x' = x'':

x = (-b +- √Δ)/2a

x' = (-40 + √0)/2.-46    

x'' = (-40 - √0)/2.-46

x' = -40 / -92    

x'' = -40 / -92

x' = 0,43478260869565216    

x'' = 0,43478260869565216

So, after approximately 0,4348 seconds the balloon will reach the highest point.

B) height after 2 seconds

h(2) = -46.2² + 40.2 + 3

h(2) = -46.4 + 80 + 3

h(2) = -184 + 83

h(2) = -101

Not sure how it's possible but it would be -101.
