Can Someone EXPLAIN This To Me? You Don't Have To Answer The Questions. They Are For My College Class.

Answers

Answer 1
Your questions are rational expressions.

Essentially, you are adding/subtracting fractions with unknown values (i.e. the variable x).

If you want to add/subtract these, you need a common denominator. Just like you find a CD in 1/2 + 1/3, you have to find a CD between x^2 + x and x (question 20).

Rearranging gives us x(x + 1) and x. Now to find a common denominator, we multiply both the denominator by (x + 1), so now our denominators are both x(x+1) (common). Except that if we multiply on the denominator, we must also multiply on the numerator.

After doing these steps, you can finally add the numerator. Same concept with subtraction.

Determine whether 52c2y4 is a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or other polynomial.

Answers

Answer: Monomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, when we have a polynomial with only one term, this is a monomial.

If the polynomial has two terms, this is a binomial.

If the polynomial has 3 terms, this is a trinomial.

And so on.

In this particular case we have:

52*c^2*y^4

Where c and y may be variables.

We can see that here we have only one term, so this would be a monomial.

(notice that the number of variables does not affect the type of polynomial in this case, only the number of terms)

Answer:

binomial.

Substitute values from the problem.

Solve for what you know.

x^2 + 36 = 81

Subtract 6 from both sides.

A physics class has students. Of​ these, students are physics majors and students are female. Of the physics​ majors, are female. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major. The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is nothing.\

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is 0.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. A complete is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A physics class has 40 students. Of these, 14 students are physics majors and 18 students are female. Of the physics majors, six are female. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major. The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is_______.

The Step-by-step explanation is therefore provided now as follows:

The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major can be calculated using the following formula:

P(PM or F) = P(PM) + P(F) - P(PMF)

Where;

P(PM or F) = Probability of student selected is Physics Major or Female = ?

P(PM) = Probability of student selected is Physics Major = Number of Physics Major / Total number of students in the Physics class = 14 / 40 = 0.35

P(F) = Probability of student selected is Female = Number of female students in the Physics class / Total number students in the Physics class = 18 / 40 = 0.45

P(PMF) = Probability of student selected is Physics Major and Female = Number Physics Major that female in the Physics class / Total number students in the Physics class = 6 / 40 = 0.15

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

P(PM or F) = 0.35 + 0.45 - 0.15 = 0.65

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is 0.65.

[tex]\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2-3^2}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}[/tex]

use (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²

[tex]\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{(x-3)(x+3)}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}[/tex]

cross multiply

use FOIL

[tex]4x=(x)(-x)+(x)(12)+(3)(-x)+(3)(12)\\\\4x=-x^2+12x-3x+36[/tex]

subtract 4x from both sides

[tex]0=-x^2+12x-3x+36-4x[/tex]

combine like terms

[tex]0=-x^2+(12x-3x-4x)+36\\\\0=-x^2+5x+36[/tex]

change the signs

[tex]x^2-5x-36=0\\\\x^2-9x+4x-36=0\\\\x(x-9)+4(x-9)=0\\\\(x-9)(x+4)=0[/tex]

The product is 0 if one of the factors is 0. Therefore:

16. x=48 y=70

17. x=45 y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

16. This is an isosceles triangle meaning that the two angles are the same. Meaning that (x+7)=55.

55-7=48

(48+7)=55 x=48

There are 180 degrees in a triangle, so 55+55=110

180-110=70. y=70

17. This is a right angled triangle meaning that the squared part is 90 degrees. And it is also an isosceles triangle meaning that x=97.

There are 180 degrees in a triangle, and 90 is already taken, meaning that there is 90 degrees more left.

A box contains orange balls and green balls. The number of green balls is seven more than three times the number of orange balls. If there are 67 balls altogether, how many green balls and how many orange balls are there in the box?

Answers

Answer:

52 green, 15 orange

Step-by-step explanation:

g + o = 67   g = green, o = orange, x = total

g = 3o + 7

use substitution: (3o + 7) + o = 67

solve for o:

4o + 7 = 67

4o = 60

o = 60/4 = 15

solve for g:

g + 15 = 67

g = 52

it takes olivia one minute to swim 1/60 of a kilometer how far can she swim in 12 minutes

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it was 1/60 of a kilometer which is 0.0166 of the kilometer.

So In 12 minutes he would cover 0.2 of the kilometer which is 1/5

The distance Olivia swims in 2 minutes is 1/30 km.

Given,

It takes Olivia one minute to swim 1/60 of a kilometer.

We need to find out how far can she swim in 12 minutes.

How to compare two units in proportion?

Suppose if we have,

3 items cost = $9

Cost of one item = $9 / 3 = $3

If in 5 minutes one can walk for 1km

In 10 minutes one can walk:

= (10/5 x 1) km

= 2 km

Find the distance Olivia swims in one minute.

= 1/60 km

Find the distance Olivia swims in 2 minutes.

We have,

1 minute = 1/60 km

Multiply both sides by 2.

2 x 1 minute = 2 x 1/60 km  

2 minutes = 1/30 km

Thus the distance Olivia swims in 2 minutes is 1/30 km.

Answers

Answer:    The loss is 4%  

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call litches that are 20 pcs per Rs 100  - litches A

that are 30 pcs per Rs 100- litches B

So a man can buy 2 pcs A per Rs 10

and 3 pcs B per Rs 10

OR

6x  pcs  A per  Rs  30x  

and 6x  pcs  B  per  Rs  20x

Now he gonna sell the 12x  litches  for y Rs

Lets find y from the proportion

12x  cost y

25   cost 100

y/12=100/25

y=48  Rs

So the man bought 6x A + 6x B  for 20x+30x=50 Rs

And then he sold them for 48 Rs

Obviously the man gonna loose the money.

Lets find the losses in %

(50-48)/50*100=200/50=4%

2. In August, 36% of the people who visited the zoo were locals and the rest were foreigners. In September, the percentage of local visitors decreased by 25% while the percentage of foreign participants increased by 50%. In the end, there were 161 fewer visitors in August than in September. How many visitors were there in September?

Answers

Answer:

1. 115 chocolates were added

2. 861 visitors in September

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Initially:

m=number of mints

60% of 230 sweets were mints  =>

m = 230*0.6 = 138 mints

initial number of chocolates, c1  =  230 - 138 = 92

Now chocolates were added

138 mints represented 40% of the total number of sweets, so

total number of sweets  = 138 / 0.4 = 345

Number of chocolates added = 345 - 230 = 115

2.

In August 36% were locals, 64% were from elsewhere.

In suptember,

locals decreassed by 25% to 36*0.75=27% (of August total)

foreigner increased by 50% to 64*1.5=96% (of August total)

Total Inrease = 96+27-100 = 23% of August total  = 161 visitors

August total = 161/0.23 = 700 visitors

September total = 700 + 161 = 861 visitors

The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 15 less than twice the measure of the other small angle. Find the measure of both angles.

Answers

Answer:

We have the measure of both angles as  55 degrees and 35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are three angles in a right-angled triangle. One of which is 90. FOr now, the other two are unknown, so we would designate them to be x and y.

We now set up an equation using the information we are given about the problem.

From this statement "The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 15 less than twice the measure of the other small angle." we can set up the following equation:

x =2y -15 -------- equation 1

similarly, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degrees. Hence, we can use this to set up another equation as follows:

x + y + 90 = 180

x+ y = 90 ------------- equation 2

we can now solve the two equations simultaneously as

x -2y =-15

x+ y = 90

from this, we have that

x = 55 and y = 35

We have the measure of both angles as  55 degrees and 35 degrees

If the ratio of Athletics, Boots, and Dress shoes is 5 to 2 to 3, it means that for every 2 pairs of Boots they have 5 pairs of Athletics shoes and 3 pairs of dress shoes.

So, if they have 70 pairs of boots, we can calculate the number of Athletics as:
