Answer:

To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.

Once you have simplified the expression, you get

-x-9/2x-4

But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write

x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4

So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 72 m. The width of the rectangle is 16 m. What is the area of the rectangle?
liq [111]

Answer:

320m

Step-by-step explanation

a rectangle has four sides, two pairs of identical sides. So two sides are 16. So that adds up to 32. Perimeter is all sides added together. so it has to add up to 72. 72 minus 32 is 40, so two of the sides have to be 40. Area is length times width, so 16 times 20, which is 320.

Describe any domain restrictions that make sense for each of these scenarios: The price of a stock fluctuates several times thro
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

  • a) Restriction: days of the year (a discrete time)

  • b) The time the ball is on the air: t = 0, until the balls touchs the ground (any real value from t = 0 to t when the ball hits the ground)

  • c) Any positive real value: x ≥ 0

Explanation:

The <em>domain </em>is the set of elements that can be inputs of the <em>function</em>.

<u><em>1. The price of a stock fluctuates several times throughout the year as a function of time.</em></u>

The input variable is the time through out the year.

If you assume that the fluctuaion is recorded once a day, and not every second, the logical assumption is that the time is a day of the year.

Thus, the restricion is the days of the year.

You could represent them in different forms, like DD/MM/YY, or even as a number from 1 to 365 if it covers just one year.

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>2. A ball is hit into the air by a baseball player, rises until it reaches its highest point, and then falls into left field.</em></u>

The domain is the time the ball is on the air, which may be any real value from t = 0, until the balls touchs the ground.

It is not restricted to integer numbers.

<u><em>3. The volume of a spherical balloon increases as the balloon is blown up and decreases as air is let out of it.</em></u>

The inputs of the function are amounts of air, which may be measured as number of moles.

The number of moles can be any real value equal or greater than zero.

Thus, the domain is the positive real values x ≥ 0.
