Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Definition of: Coefficient</em></u>
A number used to multiply a variable.
<u><em>Example:</em></u> 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.
Variables with no number have a coefficient of 1.
<u><em>Example</em></u>: x is really 1x.
<em><u>coefficients:</u></em>
3<em>x⁴</em>+ 5<em>x²</em> + 1<em>x</em>
<u><em>sum of the coefficients:</em></u>
3 + 5 + 1
8 + 1

<span>"A TV is on sale at 30% off for $420"
What was the original price of the TV?
</span>
Well if you start to calculate first off you are sooner or later going to figure out that in order for it to be 420 the answer has to be bigger than 1,000. If you get to 1,200 and calculate 30 percent off of it it the answer is 360 so a ballpark quesstiminate would be to go two more hundredths up. Therefore 30 percent of 1,400 is 420
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The given rational function is
We need to rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of
which is
When we rationalize we obtain:
The denominator is now a difference of two squares:
We apply this property to get
This simplifies to
Or
Red bricks : Grey bricks
5 : 2
Total parts = 5 + 2 = 7
7 parts = 224
-----------------------
Find 1 part:
-----------------------
1 part = 234 ÷ 7
1 part = 32
-----------------------
Find 5 parts:
-----------------------
5 parts = 32 x 5
5 parts = 160
----------------------------------------------
Answer: 160 Red bricks
----------------------------------------------
