Answer:

a. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

for (n^2-38)/(n+1) to be an integer, n+1 must completely divide, n^2-38.

we check with the options

option a n=36 sutisfies the above condition.

(36^2-38)/36+1 = 1258/37= 34 , which is an integer. Therefore, largest integer would be 36

Can someone explain and answer please??
Nat2105 [25]
Simplify the ration expression
\frac{3x-6}{x-2}

start by seeing if anything in the numerator or denominator can be factored,
you should notice that you can factor out a 3 from 3x-6 in the numerator

when you do so, the result is
\frac{3 *(x-2)}{x-2}

now, since there is an x-2 in the numerator and denominator, they "cancel" out since

\frac{x-2}{x-2} =1
however, only when x \neq 2
since \frac{0}{0} \neq 1

when you cancel out the x-2, you're left with 3

hence, your answer is C

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\

5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\
