Answer:

<h3>1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify:

1/1-x^(b-a)+1/1-x^(a-b)​

\frac{1}{1-x^{b-a}} + \frac{1}{1-x^{a-b}}\\= \frac{1-x^{a-b} + 1-x^{b-a}}{(1-x^{b-a})(1-x^{a-b})}\\=  \frac{1-x^{a-b} + 1-x^{b-a}}{(1-x^{b-a}-x^{a-b}+x^{b-a+a-b})}\\= \frac{1-x^{a-b} + 1-x^{b-a}}{(1-x^{b-a}-x^{a-b}+1)}\\= \frac{2-x^{a-b}-x^{b-a}}{2-x^{b-a}-x^{a-b}}\\= 1\\ \\

Hence the required answer is 1

Mr Smith bought x number of shirts for the new members of her chorus. The cost for x number of shirts, including $3.99 shipping
fiasKO [112]

We are given that the cost of each shirt = $12.25

It is given that she bought total 'x' shirts, each of cost $12,25.

So, the cost of 'x' shirts is  dollars

Also, there is a shipping charge of $3.99

So, the total cost of 'x' shirts is

Since, the shirts cost her total $77.49.

We have the equation,

12.25x + 3.99 = 77.49

Divide 12x^4+17^3+8x-40 by x-2
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

12x^3 + 24x^2 + 48x + 104 + (5081/x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x^4 + 17* (17*17) + 8x -40/ x-2

1. remove the parenthesis

12x^4 + !7 * 17 * 17 + 8x -40 / x-2

2. multiply 17 by 17

12x^4 + 289 * 17 + 8x -= 40 /x-2

3. multiply 289 by 17

12x^ = 4913 + 8x - 40 / x-2

4. move 4913

12x^4 + 8x + 4913 - 40 / x-2

5. subtract 40 from 4913

12x^4 + 8x + 4873 / x-2

6. set up polynomials to be divided. if there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of 0

x-2 into 12x^4 + 0x^3 + 0x^2 + 8x + 4873

7. divide the highest order term  in the dividend 12x^4 by the highest order term in divisor x = 12x^3

8. multiply by new quotient term

12x^3 * x-2 = 12x^4 -24x^3

9. the expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in 12x^4 - 24x^3

12x^4 + 0x^3 - 12x^4 + 24x^3

10. after changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find new dividend

+24x^3

11.  pull the next term from the original dividend down into the current dividend

+24x^3 + 0x^2

12.  divide the highest order term in the dividend 24x^3 by the highest order term in divisor x = 24x^2

12x^3 + 24x^2

13. multiply new quotient by the divisor

24x^3 * x-2 = 24x^3 - 48x^2

14. the expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in 24x^3 - 48x^2

24x^3 + 0x^2 - 24x^3 + 48x^2

15. after changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find new dividend

+48x^2

16. pull the next terms from the original dividend down to the current dividend

+ 48x^2 + 8x

17. divide the highest order term in the dividend 48x^2 by the highest order term in the divisor = 48x

12x^3 + 24x^2 + 48x

18. multiply the new quotient term by the divisor

48x * x - 2 = 48x^2 - 96x

19. the expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in 48x^2 - 96x

-48x^2 + 96x

20. after changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find new dividend

48x^2 + 8x - 48x^2 + 96x

= 104x

21. pull the next terms from the original dividend down to the current dividend

+ 104x + 4873

22. divide the highest order term in the dividend 104x by the highest order term in the divisor x = 104

23. divide the new quotient by the divisor

104 * x -2 = 104x - 208

24. the expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in 104x - 208

104x + 4873 - 104x + 208 = 5081

25. the final answer is the quotient plus the remainder over the divisor

12x^3 + 24x^2 + 48x + 104 + (5081 / x - 2)

Jamie bought medicine priced at $180 she had to pay 5% sales tax and an additional 1.5% for handling fee how much money did she
alekssr [168]

Answer:

$191.70

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount spent = cost of medicine + cost of tax + cost of shipping

cost of tax = 0.05 x $180 = $9

cost of shipping 0.015 x $180 = $2.70

total cost = $180 + $9 + 2.70 = $191.70
