Consider the expression

\dfrac{x^3-1}{(x+1)^3+1}

Factorize the numerator and denominator a difference/sum of cubes:

\dfrac{(x-1)(x^2+x+1)}{((x+1)+1)((x+1)^2-(x+1)+1)}

Expand the denominator:

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

since <em>x</em> = 2020, and clearly 2020² + 2020 + 1 ≠ 0, so we can cancel the factor of <em>x</em> ² + <em>x</em> + 1. This leaves us with

\dfrac{2020^3-1}{2021^3+1} = \dfrac{2020-1}{2020+2} = \dfrac{2019}{2022}=\dfrac{673}{674}=\dfrac ab

so that <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 673 + 674 = 1347.

Which inequality would be in the correct slope-intercept form:
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

J. y > 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the standard form equation into slope-intercept, we must make y isolated.

Step 1: Subtract 6x from both sides.

  • 6x-2y-6x
  • -2y

Step 2: Divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign.

  • -2y/-2 < (-6x-10)/-2
  • y>3x + 5

Therefore, the answer is J.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Graph the function. Upload a handwritten copy of your graph as your final answer.
Serhud [2]
The function is divided in 2 parts:

For x<0, the function is y=x, which is a linear function, and its graph is a line.

For x≥0, the function is y=-x^2, which is a quadratic function, and its graph is a parabola.


Note that y=x is the line containing the points (0, 0), (1, 1), (5, 5) etc, that is, it is the line passing through the origin, with an inclination of 45° with the positive x-axis.


The parabola y=-x^2 is the parabola y=x^2 reflected with respect to the x-axis. It contains points like (0, 0), (-1, 1), (2, -4) etc...

The 2 graphs, with domain all real numbers, are shown in the first picture.

The second picture is the graph of the function described in our problem. We use the first picture, but restrict the domains.

That is, we delete the part of the line corresponding to x≥0, and the part of the parabola corresponding to x<0.
