Answer:

Its C (Third Multiple Choice Answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason being that x + 1 / 2 (6x - 4) = 6 is the way it is instead of the first step being x + 6x / 2 - 4 / 2 = 6 is because it is using legal manipulation by multiplying the 1 / 2 out.

Math:

First

2 * (x + 1 / 2 (6x - 4) = 6 * 2 [In this case the x gets multiplied by 2 and multiplies 2 to the other side as well. The reason why it isn't a Distributive Property in the first place is because we are using multiplication only and the equation is not 1 / 2 (6x - 4).

Then

2x + 6x - 4 = 12 will then equal to 8x - 4 = 12 which is adding like terms

Thirdly

(+ 4) + 8x - 4 = 12 (+ 4) [The parenthesis is to identify that the 4 is positive]

will then turn into 8x = 16

Finally

By dividing 8 on both sides of the previous equation

8x / 8 = 16 / 8 equaling x = 2.

What is the simplified form of x+2/x^2-3x-10 * x-3/x^2+x-12

Vinvika [58]

I mean based on your possible answers, the third one is correct,but you can go further that that, in the steps i will note when you've came to the "answer"

$\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 10 } \times \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + x - 12 }$
$\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 } \times \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 3x - 12 }$
$\frac{x + 2}{x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)} \times \frac{x - 3}{x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4)}$
$\frac{x + 2}{(x + 2) \times (x - 5)} \times \frac{x - 3}{(x + 4) \times (x - 3)}$
$\frac{1}{(x + 4) \times (x + 5)}$
and basically that's the "answer", but you can simplify more.

$\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 5x - 20}$
$\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} - x - 20 }$
Hope that's helpful

Often sales of a new product grow rapidly at first and then level off with time. This is the case with the sales represented by

True [87]

Answer:

Here we have the function:

S(t) = 500 - 400*t^(-1)

Then the rate of change at the value t, will be:

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

This differentiation will be:

S'(t) = -400/t^2

Then:

a) the rate of change at t = 1 is:

S'(1) = -400/1^2 = -400

The rate of change after one year is -400

b) t = 10

S'(10) = -400/10^2 = -400/100 = -4

The rate of change after 10 years is -4, it reduced as the years passed, as expected.

A bird feeder stands perpendicular to the ground. In the afternoon sun, the bird feeders shadow is half its height. If the dista

Crazy boy [7]

By connecting the top of the height of the bird feeder and the tip of the shadow casted, we form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is equal to the given distance between the top of the bird feeder and the top of the shadow which is equal to 19 feet.

If we let x be the height of the bird feeder and x/2 be the length of the shadow, by Pythagorean theorem,
x² + (0.5x)² = 19²
The value of x from the equation is 16.99 ft or 17 ft.
Thus, the height of the bird feeder is 17 ft and the shadow is approximately 8.5 ft.
