Answer:

Explanation:

in each of the following substitute x with the variables in the bracket.

f(a) = 5x - 6

= 5a - 6

f(a+h) = 5 (a + h) - 6

= 5a + 5h - 6

f(a+h) - f(a) = (5a + 5h - 6) - (5a - 6)

= 5a + 5h - 6 - 5a + 6

= 5h

(as the 5a's and 6's cancel each other out.)

f(a+h) - f(a)/h = 5a + 5h - 6 - ((5a - 6)÷h)

take l.c.m

= <u>(5ah + 5h^2 - 6h - 5a + 6)</u>

h

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers on a six-sided die are as shown:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The even numbers are:

2, 4, 6

The numbers greater than 3 are:

3, 4, 5, 6

Both lists together are:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Because 5 out of 6 numbers satisfy these conditions, the probability of satisfying these conditions is 5/6.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

2.9-w=1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be weight of emu egg in pounds.

We have been given that an ostrich egg weighs 2.9 pounds.The difference between the weight of this egg and the weight of an emu egg is 1.6 pounds.

We can represent this information as:

2.9-w=1.6

Therefore, the equation 2.9-w=1.6 will give us the weight of the emu egg, w, in pounds.

Answer:

y = x^2 - 4x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots are  2 + √10 and 2 - √10, so in factor form we have:

(x -  (2 + √10))(x - (2 - √10))

= ( x -  2 - √10)(x - 2 + √10)

= x^2 - 2x + √10x - 2x + 4 - 2√10 - √10x  + 2√10 - √100

=  x^2 -4x + 4 - 10

= x^2 - 4x - 6.
