Answer:
In A: y is a 25% decrease of x
In B: y is a 25% increase of x
Step-by-sep explanation:
For A:
The diagram in A shows that x = 4, while y = 3.
Thus, this means that y decreased by 1, relative to x.
The percentage decease would be:

Therefore, y is a 25% decrease of x.
For B:
The diagram for B shows that x = 4, while y = 5.
Thus, this means that y increased by 1, relative to x.
The percentage increase would be:

Therefore, y is a 25% increase of x.

Reflected over the x axis and rotated 180° is your answer

First, note that the horizontal line is the x- axis, and that the figure is reflected over the x- axis.

Next, note that the placement of each point is not exactly identical. Instead, it is flipped. This means that the side is rotated 180°

hope this helps

Simplify each rational expression to lowest terms, specifying the values of xx that must be excluded to avoid division

k0ka [10]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

(c) $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$ .The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

(d) $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2.

(e) $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce each rational expression to lowest terms you must:

(a) For $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-6x+5\\\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x^2-x\right)+\left(-5x+5\right)\\x^2-6x+5=x\left(x-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x-1\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x^2-3x-10=x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x+2\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:x-5\\\\\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$

The denominator in a fraction cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined. So we need to figure out what values of the variable(s) in the expression would make the denominator equal zero.

To find any values for x that would make the denominator = 0 you need to set the denominator = 0 and solving the equation.

$x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

$x+2=0\\x=-2\\\\x-5=0\\x=5$

The domain is the set of all possible inputs of a function which allow the function to work. Therefore the domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) For $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{x^3}{x^3}=1$

Quotient = 1

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:by\:}1:\:x^3+2x^2-x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:from\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}$

Remainder = $x^2+4x+1}$

$\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

$x^3+2x^2-x=0\\\\x^3+2x^2-x=x\left(x^2+2x-1\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2+2x-1=0:\quad x=-1+\sqrt{2},\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}$

(c) For $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}$

$x^2-16=\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+2x-8= \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)$

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}\\\\\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

$x^2+2x-8=0\\\\x^2+2x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)=0$

(d) For $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:cube\:of\:sum\:rule:\:}a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3=\left(a+b\right)^3\\\\a=x,\:\:b=2\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3$

$\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)^3}\\\\\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2

$x^3+6x^2+12x+8=0\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3=0\\x=-2$

(e) For $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}$

$\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers.

$x^2+1=0\\x^2=-1\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-1},\:x=-\sqrt{-1}$
