Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
9 ^-5 * 9^-3
When multiplying these we ADD the exponents:
9^-5 * 9^-3
= 9^(-5 + -3)
= 9 ^-8
= 1/9^8 Option A
2. 2^14 / 2^7 This is a division so we SUBTRACT the exponents:-
= 2^(14 - 7)
= 2^7 (answer)
3. If the triangle is a right angled one then it will obey Pythagoras Theorem so:-
13^ = x^2 + 5&2
x^2 = 13^2 - 5^2
x^2 = 144
x = 12 (answer)
4. The last choice is a crucial step.
The total area of the triangles is the same in both large squares so the area of the large square e^2 = a^2 + b^2 ( the 2 squares in the left side large square).
Answer: 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a diving board is 10 feet above a pool. Since the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the diving board, to calculate how tall is the ladder is, we subtract -5 from 10. This will be:
= 10 - (-5)
= 10 + 5
= 15 feet
The answer is option C.
