Answer:

$\frac{x^2+2x}{x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor out numerator and denominator in order to simplify the rational expression by cancelling common factors.

Numerator : x^3 - 4 x = x (x^2 - 4) = x (x - 2) (x + 2)

Denominator (factoring by grouping):

x^2 - 5 x + 6 = x^2 - 3 x - 2 x + 6 = x (x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x - 2)

Then we can cancel out the common factor (x - 2) in both numerator and denominator, leading to:

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

$\frac{x^2+2x}{x-3}$

Write the equation of circle b with center B(-2,3) that passes through (1,2)

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$(x+2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation for circle is

$(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2$

where point (a,b) is coordinate of center of circle and r is the radius.

______________________________________________________

Given

center of circle =((-2,3)

let r be the radius of circle

Plugging in this value of center in standard equation for circle given above we have

$(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 \ substitute (a,b) \ with (-2,3) \\=>(x-(-2))^2 + (y-3)^2 = r^2 \\=>(x+2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = r^2 (1)$

Given that point (1,2 ) passes through circle. Hence this point will satisfy the above equation of circle.

Plugging in the point (1,2 ) in equation 1 we have

$\\=>(x+2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = r^2 \\=> (1+2)^2 + (2-3)^2 = r^2\\=> 3^2 + (-1)^2 = r^2\\=> 9 + 1 = r^2\\=> 10 = r^2\\=> r^2 = 10\\$

now we have value of r^2 = 10, substituting this in equation 1 we have

Thus complete equation of circle is $=>(x+2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = r^2\\=>(x+2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 10$

I need the RIGHT answer to this please. :)

KATRIN_1 [288]

A is the answer. It has no repeating x points buy it repeats on the y coordinate, which is okay. The answer is A just to say it again.

best answer will be awarded the brainliest and 5 stars please evaluate 6/2 and remember to show your work

Svet_ta [14]

6/2 is the number 6 being divided in half by 2; to figure this out just count your 2 table factors! Shown work:

2 x 2 = 4
2 x 3 = 6!

So 6 divided by 2 (6/2) is just the oppoposite of 2 x 3 = 6

XY is a diameter of a circle and Z is a point on the circle such that ZY=6. If the area of the triangle XYZ is 18 square root 3

nataly862011 [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

4π

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As shown in the diagram, triangle XYZ is a right triangle. Therefore, its area (A) is given by:

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ x b x h -------------(i)

Where;

A = 18 $\sqrt{3}$

b = XZ = base of the triangle

h = YZ = height of the triangle = 6

<em>Substitute these values into equation(i) and solve as follows:</em>

18 $\sqrt{3}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ x b x 6

18 $\sqrt{3}$ = 3b

<em>Divide through by 3</em>

6 $\sqrt{3}$ = b

Therefore, b = XZ = 6 $\sqrt{3}$

<em>Now, assume that the circle is centered at O;</em>

Triangle XOZ is isosceles, therefore the following are true;

(i) |OZ| = |OX|

(ii) XZO = ZXO = 30°

(iii) XOZ + XZO + ZXO = 180° [sum of angles in a triangle]

=> XOZ + 30° + 30° = 180°

=> XOZ + 60° = 180°

=> XOZ = 180° - 60°

=> XOZ = 120°

Therefore we can calculate the radius |OZ| of the circle using sine rule as follows;

$\frac{sin|XOZ|}{XZ} = \frac{sin|ZXO|}{OZ}$

$\frac{sin120}{6\sqrt{3} } = \frac{sin 30}{OZ}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3} /2}{6\sqrt{3} } = \frac{1/2}{|OZ|}$

$\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{2|OZ|}$

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{|OZ|}$

|OZ| = 6

The radius of the circle is therefore 6.

<em>Now, let's calculate the length of the arc XZ</em>

The length(L) of an arc is given by;

L = θ / 360 x 2 π r ------------------(ii)

Where;

θ = angle subtended by the arc at the center.

r = radius of the circle.

In our case,

θ = ZOX = 120°

r = |OZ| = 6

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

L = 120/360 x 2π x 6

L = 4π

Therefore the length of the arc XZ is 4π
