Answer:

38.5 kg of grass

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using a proportion. (Kg of grass over horses)

Let x = the amount of grass 11 horses will eat in the same period of time.

112/32 = x/11 Cross multiply

1232 = 32x Divide both sides by 32

x = 38.5

X+4 divided by x^2+16 Why can't it be simplified?

KonstantinChe [14]

Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:

x^2 + 16 = 0

x^2 = -16

The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.

Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:

±√-16 = ±4i

Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:

(x + 4i)(x - 4i)

If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
