Answer:

option a is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

put the value of x in each expression as x = -2

you'll see that in option a the expression becomes

$\frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} - 4} = \frac{ - 2 - 3}{ {( - 2)}^{2} - 4} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{4 - 4} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{0}$

which is not defined. hence -2 is excluded value

As you get older your brain develops as you do so when you’re taught math your brain is developing a slightly slower pace than it should be for example if you have a teacher who doesn’t really teach a lot it’s really going to slow down the process of learning

A restaurant owner was experimenting with the taste of her homestyle lemon drink. She started with 60 litres of water. She remov

Burka [1]

Answer:

ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the homestyle lemon drink is 5 : 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the final ratio of lemon juice to water, let us start by determining the initial ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the first mix. This is done as follows:

Total volume of mixture = 60 liters

initial volume of water = 60 liters

initial volume of lemon juice = 0 liters

1) She removed 15 liters of the water and replaced it with 15 liters of pure lemon juice.

Volume of water = 60 - 15 = 45 liters

Volume of lemon juice = 15 liters

$\therefore \frac{15}{60}\ = \frac{1}{4}\ of\ the\ first\ mix\ is\ lemon\ juice\\\frac{45}{60}\ = \frac{3}{4}\ of\ the\ first\ mix\ is\ pure\ water$

2) She removed 10 liters of the new mixture

Let us convert this amount removed into ratio:

$lemon\ juice\ = \frac{1}{4}\ \times 10 = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}\ liters.\\ \therefore the\ owner\ removes\ \frac{5}{2}\ liters\ of\ pure\ lemon\ juice\\pure\ water\ = \frac{3}{4}\ \times 10 = \frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2}\ liters\\ \therefore\ the\ owner\ removes\ \frac{15}{2}\ liters\ of\ water\ from\ the\ first\ mix.$

New volumes of water and lemon juice after removing the 10 liters of mixture is calculated as follows:

$lemon\ juice\ = 15 - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{30-5}{2} = \frac{25}{2}\ liters\ of\ lemon\ juice\\pure\ water\ = 45 - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{90-15}{2} = \frac{75}{2}\ liters\ of\ pure\ water$

3) and replaced it with 10 liters of water.

$New\ volume\ of\ water\ = 10 + \frac{75}{2} = \frac{20+ 75}{2} = \frac{95}{2}\ liters$

The final ratio of lemon juice to water:

$\frac{25}{2} : \frac{95}{2}\\= 25 : 95\\= 5 : 19$

Therefore, the final ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the homestyle lemon drink is 5 : 19.
