Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A hole is an input value that makes both numerator and denominator equal to zero.
<u>Let's factorize the numerator and denominator:</u>
- 3x² - 108 = 3(x² - 36) = 3(x + 6)(x - 6)
- x² + 2x - 24 = x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = (x - 4)(x + 6)
<u>We have same factor of x + 6:</u>
- x + 6 = 0
- x = - 6 is a hole
The correct answer is A. D
That is because D has a horizontal line of symmetry, as can be seen on it.
Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial).
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>
-9x(5 - 2x) Distribute/multiply 9x into (5 - 2x)
(-9x)5 - (-9x)2x
-45x - (-18x²) 2 negative signs cancel each other out and become +
-45x + 18x² Your answer is A ( the first option)
