Answer:

The simplified form is \dfrac{2(x-1)}{3(x+1)}.

x =1 is the excluded value for the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression given is:

\dfrac{2a^2-4a+2}{3a^2-3}

Let us simplify the numerator and denominator separately.

The numerator is given as 2a^2-4a+2

2 is a common factor in all the three terms. So, we factor it out. This gives,

=2(a^2-2a+1)

Now, a^2-2a+1=(a-1)(a-1)

Therefore, the numerator becomes 2(a-1)(a-1)

The denominator is given as: 3a^2-3

Factoring out 3, we get

3(a^2-1)

Now, a^2-1 is of the form a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

So, a^2-1=(a-1)(a+1)

Therefore, the denominator becomes 3(a-1)(a+1)

Now, the given expression is simplified to:

\frac{2a^2-4a+2}{3a^2-3}=\frac{2(x-1)(x-1)}{3(x-1)(x+1)}

There is (x-1) in the numerator and denominator. We can cancel them only if x\ne1 as for x=1, the given expression is undefined.

Now, cancelling the like terms considering x\ne1, we get:

\dfrac{2a^2-4a+2}{3a^2-3}=\dfrac{2(x-1)}{3(x+1)}

Therefore, the simplified form is \dfrac{2(x-1)}{3(x+1)}

The simplification is true only if  x\ne1. So, x =1 is the excluded value for the given expression.

On one day a pet store sells 2 birds 6 gerbils 3 fish and 3 hamsters whats the data and relative frequency as a percent?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Birds F_b=14.3\%

Gerbils F_g=42.9\%

Fish F_f=21.4\%

Hamsters F_h=21.4\%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sales

Number of birds  n_b=2

Number of gerbils  n_g=6

Number of fish  n_f=3

Number of hamsters  n_h=3  

Generally the frequency for birds F_b is mathematically given b

F_b=\frac{n_b}{n}*100

F_b=\frac{2}{14}*100

F_b=14.3\%

Generally the frequency for Gerbils F_g is mathematically given b

F_g=\frac{n_g}{n}*100

F_g=\frac{6}{14}*100

F_g=42.9\%

Generally the frequency for fish F_f is mathematically given b

F_f=\frac{n_f}{n}*100

F_f=\frac{3}{14}*100

F_f=21.4\%

Generally the frequency for fish F_h is mathematically given b

F_h=\frac{n_h}{n}*100

F_h=\frac{3}{14}*100

F_h=21.4\%
