Answer:

$x^{2} -4x+4$ in the numerator

$x^{2} -2x+1$ in the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

First fraction simplifies to:

$\frac{x^{2}+x-6}{x^{2}-6x+5}\\\frac{x^{2}-2x+3x-6}{x^{2}-x-5x+5}\\\frac{x(x-2)+3(x-2)}{x(x-1)+5(x-1)}\\\frac{(x+3)(x-2)}{(x-1)(x+5)}\\$

Dividing my a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, so the second fraction simplifies to:

$\frac{x^{2}-7x+10}{x^{2}+2x-3}\\\frac{x^{2}-2x+5x-10}{x^{2}-x+3x-3}\\\frac{x(x-2)+5(x-2)}{x(x-1)+3(x-1)}\\\frac{(x+5)(x-2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}\\$

So the equation becomes:

$\frac{(x+3)(x-2)}{(x+5)(x-1)} * \frac{(x+5)(x-2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}\\$

The (x+3) and (x+5) terms cancel out, so what your left with is

$\frac{(x-2)^{2}}{(x-1)^{2}}$

Expanding this term you get the answer:

$x^{2} -4x+4$ in the numerator

$x^{2} -2x+1$ in the denominator

melomori [17]

Answer:

actual rate of interest is 2.08 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

borrowed = $2100

time = 15 months

rate = 2.6%

to find out

interest and receive from the bank and actual rate of interest

solution

we know bank discounted the loan at 2.6%

so interest will be 2.6% of $2100

that is = 2.6/100 × 2100

interest = $54.60

so receive from the bank is borrowed money - interest

receive = 2100 - 54.60

receive from the bank is $2045.40

and we can say that interest is directly proportional to time

so interest of 12 months / interest of 15 month = 12 month time/ 15 month time

here interest of 12 months = 12/15 × interest of 15 month

interest of 12 months = 12/15 × 54.60

interest of 12 months is $43.68 (annually)

now we can calculate actual rate of interest

that is = interest / borrowed money × 100

actual rate of interest = 43.68/2100 × 100

actual rate of interest is 2.08 %

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 7.32 cents per

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

$y(x) = ax + b$

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.

Base charge of $17.32 per month.

This means that $b = 17.32$

charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour

Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is $a = 0.0732$

Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.

$y(x) = ax + b$

$y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32$

A playground is being designed where children can interact with their friends in certain combinations. If there is 1 child, ther

mariarad [96]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The number of interaction for 1 child = 0

Number of interactions for 2 children = 1

Number of interactions for 3 children = 5

Number of interaction for 4 children = 14

So,

We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.

So,

We see that,

$a_{1}=0\\a_{2}=1\\a_{3}=5\\a_{4}=14\\$

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

At,

n = 1

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=a_{1-1}+(1-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=0+0=0\\a_{1}=0$

which is true.

At,

n = 2

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{2-1}+(2-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{1}+1\\a_{2}=1$

Which is also true.

At,

n = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{3-1}+(3-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{2}+4\\a_{3}=5$

Which is true.

At,

n = 4

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{4-1}+(4-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{3}+9\\a_{4}=14$

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.

Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$
