Hey there!

2x^2 - 5 / x + 9

= 2(-1)^2 - 5/ -1 + 9
= (2(-1)^2 - 5) / (-1 + 9)

= (2(1) - 5) / 8

= (2 - 5) / 8

= -3 / 8

≈ -0.375

Therefore, your answer is:

-3/8 OR -0.375

EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO EACH OTHER!

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

What is the value of n in the diagram below?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

n = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(n + 18) and 2n are "complementary angles:" they add up to 90°.

Thus, n + 18 + 2n = 90. Combining the n terms results in 3n + 18 = 90.

Then 3n = 72. Dividing both sides by 3 results in n = 24.

n is 24, so n + 18 is 42 and 2n is 48. Note that 42 and 48 add up to 90.

What is the factored form of this expression? 27m^3 +125n^3

ddd [48]

Answer:

$\left(3m+5n\right)\left(9m^2-15mn+25n^2\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$27m^3+125n^3=\left(3m\right)^3+\left(5n\right)^3$

Apply sum of cubes formula: $x^3+y^3=\left(x+y\right)\left(x^2-xy+y^2\right)$

$\left(3m\right)^3+\left(5n\right)^3=\left(3m+5n\right)\left(3^2m^2-3m\times 5n+5^2n^2\right)$

$\left(3m+5n\right)\left(9m^2-15mn+25n^2\right)$
