Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
Answer:
not a function

Answer:
195 cubic centimeters (cm^3)
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry it's late
Well I don't know !
Let's check out the choices:
A). 3a - 4b = 21, a=0, b=7
3(0) - 4(7) = 21
0 - 28 = 21 Nope. That's not true.
B). 3a - 4b = 21, a=-3, b=2
3(-3) - 4(-2) = 21
-9 + 8 = 21
-1 = 21 Nope. That's not right.
C). 3a - 4b = 21, a=-2, b=-3
3(-2) - 4(-3) = 21
-6 + 12 = 21
6 = 21 Nope. That's not it.
Only one choice left.
This one had better be it:
D). 3a - 4b = 21, a=7, b=0
3(7) - 4(0) = 21
21 - 0 = 21
21 = 21 Yay ! That's it !
Answer:
a = -29
Step-by-step explanation:
1st step is to multiply -2 on both sides
