Answer:

\frac{x^{2}  + 19x - 56}{4 {x}^{2}   - 32x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by making the denominators of both fraction the same. This can be done by multiplying one fraction's denominator by the other.

After simplifying and combining the two fractions together, check if the numerator can be factorised such that there is a common factor in the denominator and numerator. In this case, the numerator cannot be factorised.

Lastly, expand the denominator.

\frac{x + 7}{4x}  +  \frac{5}{x - 8}

=  \frac{(x + 7)(x - 8)}{4x(x - 8)}  +  \frac{5(4x)}{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{x(x) + x( - 8) + 7(x) + 7( - 8) + 20x}{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{ {x}^{2} - 8x + 7x - 56 + 20x }{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{ {x}^{2}  + 19x - 56}{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{ {x}^{2}  + 19x - 56}{4 {x}^{2}  -  32x}

Two variables are correlated with r = 0.44.
butalik [34]
It's moderate positive because when the number is closer to zero the weaker it is and the closer to one its stronger so since 0.44 is in more in the middle it moderate and since there is no negative sign which is - then it moderate positive. Btw I took the test and it was right.

The population of a town increases by 4 % every year . In the last year the population of the town was 110000.
TEA [102]

Answer:

114,400 and 118,976.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent this using a function. Let's let:

P(y) represent the total population, and y represent the total number of years since last year.

We know that the population grows by 4% every year or 0.04 every year. This is exponential growth. We can write this as:

P(y)=110000(1.04)^y

Note that the coefficient is 110000 because that is the year we are starting with. Also, note that it is 1.04 because we are essentially adding .04 to the original population.

Anyways, to find the present population, set y equal to 1 (because 1 year after last year is the present year)

P(1)=110000(1.04)^1=114400

The present population is 114,400 people.

For next year, set y equal to 2 (2 years after last year is next year)>

P(2)=110000(1.04)^2=118976

The population next year will be 118,976 people.

Answer:

227.08in^2

You want to find the surface area for this problem. SA=2lw+2lh+2hw

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2.5

W=7.4

H=9.6

SA=2lw+2lh+2hw

SA=2(2.5x7.4)+2(2.5x9.6)+2(9.6x7.4)

SA=37+142.08+48

SA=227.08in^2
