Reduce to lowest term. 2x^2- 18/x^2+4x-21​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\frac{2(x+3)}{x+7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2x^2-18}{x^2+4x-21} ← factorise numerator and denominator

2x² - 18 ( factor out 2 from each term )

= 2(x² - 9) ← difference of 2 squares

= 2(x - 3)(x + 3)

and

x² + 4x - 21 = (x + 7)(x - 3) , then

= \frac{2(x-3)(x+3)}{(x+7)(x-3)} ← cancel common factor (x - 3) on numerator/ denominator

= \frac{2(x+3)}{x+7}

The point at which the slope of the tangent line is -3
AlexFokin [52]
F(x) = 6x^2 + 3x - 6

The derivative, and thus the slope of the T. L. to the graph, is f '(x) = 12x + 3.  Set this result = to -3 and solve for x:

12x + 3 = -3  =>  12x = - 6 and x = -1/2
                                                                       6 + 6 - 24
If x = -1/2, y = f(-1/2) = 6(1/4) - 3(-1/2) - 6 = -----------------  = -6
                                                                             4

The slope of the T. L. to the graph will be -3 at the point (-1/2, -6).

martin is making four milkshakes if the recipe calls for 2/3 cup of milk how many cups of milk does he need
Bogdan [553]

The number of cups of milk would be 2 2/3 needed in the four milkshakes.

<h3>What is Ratio?</h3>

A ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other

We have been given that martin is making four milkshakes. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of milk.

We have to determine the number of cups of milk he needs

Let the number of cups of milk would be x in the four milkshakes.

As per the given situation, we can write the ratio would be as:

1 milkshakes : 2/3 cup of milk = 4 milkshakes : x cup of milk

⇒ 1 / (2/3) = 4/x

Reciprocal the term in the numerator,

⇒ 3/2 = 4/x

Apply the cross-multiplication operation,

⇒ 3x = 8

⇒ x = 8/3

⇒ x = 2 2/3

Thus, the number of cups of milk would be 2 2/3 in the four milkshakes.
