Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, factor the expression on the top. What two numbers add to get 8 and multiply to 15? 5 and 3! so the top expression factors to (x+3)(x+5). You can cancel the x+3 from the denominator and end up with x+5. Make sense?
Answer:
A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola
y=5−x^2. What are the dimensions of such a rectangle with the greatest possible area?
Width =
Height =
Width =√10 and Height 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle which lie on the given parabola y = 5 - x² ........ (1)
are (h,k) and (-h,k).
Hence, the area of the rectangle will be (h + h) × k
Therefore, A = h²k ..... (2).
Now, from equation (1) we can write k = 5 - h² ....... (3)
So, from equation (2), we can write
![A =h^{2} [5-h^{2} ]=5h^{2} -h^{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%20%3Dh%5E%7B2%7D%20%5B5-h%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D%3D5h%5E%7B2%7D%20-h%5E%7B4%7D)
For, A to be greatest ,

⇒ ![h[10-4h^{2} ]=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h%5B10-4h%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D%3D0)
⇒ 
⇒ 
Therefore, from equation (3), k = 5 - h²
⇒ 
Hence,
Width = 2h =√10 and
Height = 
Answer:
It's 4
Step-by-step explanation:
It asks how many 3/8 cups are in 1 1/2 cups. So, we divide.
1 1/2 ÷ 3/8. We have to change the 1 1/2 into a improper fraction. 1 1/2 = 3/2. 3/2 ÷ 3/8 = 3/2 ÷ 8/3 = 24/6. Simplify, and you get 4. :)
