Which shows all the values of x that make the rational expression undefined? x = 6 x = 7 x = –6 or x = 6 x = –7 or x = 7

n200080 [17]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The rational expression is given by:

$E=\frac{2x^2-72}{5x^2-245} \\ \\ Factor \ out: \\ \\ E=\frac{2(x^2-36)}{5(x^2-49)} \\ \\ E=\frac{2(x-6)(x+36)}{5(x-7)(x+7)} : \ \ \ \ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

The denominator can't be zero, therefore:

$(x-7)(x+7)\neq 0 \\ \\ \\ Thus: \\ \\ \boxed{x\neq 7 \ and x \neq -7}$

Finally,<em> the values of x that make the rational expression undefined are </em>

A student studying his classmates' cars' ages reports the 5-number summary as {1, 3, 4, 8, 20}. what is the iqr for his data?

timurjin [86]

IQR for the data {1, 3, 4, 8, 20} is 5.

Interquartile Range(IQR) for a data is defined as the difference between third quartile and first quartile.

denoted by IQR=Q₃-Q₁ (Q₃ is third quartile and Q₁ is first quartile)

The five number summary of a data set is represented as

{minimum, first quartile , second quartile , third quartile , maximum}..…(1)

According to the question

{1, 3, 4, 8, 20}

On comparing it with equation …(1)

minimum=1

Q₁ =3 , Q₂=4 , Q₃=8 , maximum =20

IQR=Q₃-Q₁

Substituting the values we get

IQR=8-3=5.

Therefore , Interquartile Range for the data {1, 3, 4, 8, 20} is 5.

Which of the following fractions can be represented by a terminating decimal?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

B) 13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to understand what a terminating decimal is: It is a decimal that has a finite number of decimal values that are not zero, meaning that its decimal values end at some point

Let's go through our possible answers with trial and error:

A) 8/9

8/9 = 0.888888888888...9 (Incorrect)

B) 13/8

13/8 = 1.625 (Correct)

C) 4/3

4/3 = 1.3333333333...4 (Incorrect)

D) 6/11

6/11 = 0.545454545454...54 (Incorrect

13/8 is our answer because in decimal form it is a terminating decimal.
