First, replace the numerator with the parentheses.
Second, multiply both sides by 3.
Third, multiply 2 × 3 to get 6.
Fourth, take away 15 from each side.
Fifth, simplify -6 - 15 to get -21.

Answer:
n = -21
Let p = total pages in the book
<span>114 pages of a novel which was 3 pages less than 1/3 </span>
<span>114 was 1/3 total pages - 3 pages </span>
<span>114 = 1/3p - 3</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
A curve is given by y=(x-a)√(x-b) for x≥b. The gradient of the curve at A is 1.
<u>Solution:</u>
We need to show that the gradient of the curve at A is 1
Here given that ,
--- equation 1
Also, according to question at point A (b+1,0)
So curve at point A will, put the value of x and y

0=b+1-c --- equation 2
According to multiple rule of Differentiation,

so, we get



By putting value of point A and putting value of eq 2 we get


Hence proved that the gradient of the curve at A is 1.
Yes -1 is a rational number. We can express it as a fraction of two whole numbers
One way is -1 = -1/1
