Simplify the rational expression. state any restrictions on the variable. n^4-11n^2+30/n^4-7n^2+10

Andrej [43]

For this case we have the following expression:
 $\frac{n ^ 4-11n ^ 2 + 30}{ n ^ 4-7n ^ 2 + 10} 

$
 We are going to make the following change of variables:
 $x = n ^ 2
$
Rewriting the expression we have:
 $\frac{(x ^ 2-11x + 30)}{(x ^ 2-7x + 10)} 

$
Factoring the expression we have:
 $\frac{(x-5) (x-6)}{(x-5) (x-6)} 
$
Canceling similar terms we have:
 $\frac{x-6}{x-2} 
$
Returning the change we have:
 $\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2} 

$
 The resctrictions of the function are those that make the denominator equal to zero.
We have then:
 $n ^ 2-2 = 0

n = +/- \sqrt{2} 
$
 Answer:
The simplified expression is:
 $\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2}$
The restrictions are:
 $n = \sqrt{2} 
$
$n = - \sqrt{2}$

A cab charges $1.50 for the first mile and $0.50 for each additional mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many m

ValentinkaMS [17]

1.50 + 0.50(x-1) < 25

1.50 + 0.50x - 0.50 < 25
1 + 0.50x < 25
-1 -1
0.50x < 24
 ÷0.50 ÷0.50
x < 48

1.50 + 0.50x < 25 ; x < 47 miles 3rd option in the choices.

To check:

1.50 + 0.50(47) < 25
1.50 + 23.50 < 25
25 < 25
