Answer:

Answer image is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rational expressions:

1.\ \dfrac{x^2+x+4}{x-2}\\2.\ \dfrac{x^2-x+4}{x-2}\\3.\ \dfrac{x^2-4x+10}{x-2}\\4.\ \dfrac{x^2-5x+16}{x-2}

And the rewritten forms:

(x-2)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\(x+3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}\\(x+1)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\(x-3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}

We have to match the rewritten terms with the given expressions.

Let us consider the rewritten terms and let us solve them one by one by taking LCM.

(x-2)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x-2)^{2}+6 }{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-4x+4+6 }{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-4x+10}{x-2}

So, correct option is 3.

(x+3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x+3)(x-2)+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x^2+3x-2x-6)+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2+x+4}{x-2}

So, correct option is 1.

(x+1)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x+1)(x-2)+6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^{2} +x-2x-2+6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^{2} -x+4}{x-2}

So, correct option is 2.

(x-3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x-3)(x-2)+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-3x-2x+6+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-5x+16}{x-2}

So, correct option is 4.

The answer is also attached in the answer area.

The areas of two similar octagons are 9 m² and 25 m². What is the scale factor of their side lengths? PLZ HELP PLZ PLZ PLZ
torisob [31]

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length for the octagon having 9m² as area = x

Side length for the octagon having area of 25m² = y.

Thus:

\frac{9}{25} = (\frac{x}{y})^2 (area of similar polygons theorem)

The scale factor of their sides would be \frac{x}{y}. Which is:

\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{x}{y}

\frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{25}} = \frac{x}{y}

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{y}

Scale factor of their sides = \frac{3}{5}
