What are the steps involved in multiplying/ dividing rational expressions??

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplication:

Step 1: Factor both the numerator and the denominator.

Step 2: Write as one fraction.  Write it as a product of the factors of the numerators over the product of the factors of the denominators. DO NOT multiply anything out at this point.

Step 3: Simplify the rational expression.

Step 4: Multiply any remaining factors in the numerator and/or denominator.

Division:

Step 1: Completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions.

Step 2: Change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal.

Step 3: Cancel or reduce the fractions. Remember that to reduce fractions; you can cancel something in the numerator with something in the denominator, but in order to cancel something in the numerator and denominator the two factors must be EXACTLY the same.

Step 4: Rewrite the remaining factor. Notice that you do NOT need to actually multiply anything in the numerator or denominator.

Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

139/4

Step-by-step explanation:

and find that\[

\frac{4}{7}\cdot \frac{13}{13} = \frac{4\cdot 13}{91}=\frac{52}{91}, \text{and}

\]\[

\frac{8}{13}\cdot \frac{7}{7} = \frac{8\cdot 7}{91} = \frac{56}{91}.

\]Thus $\frac{8}{13}$ is larger than $\frac{4}{7}$, which tells us that $-\frac{8}{13}$ is smaller than $-\frac{4}{7}$. Thus, $x=-22$, $y=-\frac{8}{13}$, and\begin{align*}

\frac{x-y}{y}&=\frac{-22-\left(-\frac{8}{13}\right)}{-\frac{8}{13}}\\

&=\left(-22\cdot \frac{13}{13}+\left(\frac{8}{13}\right)\right)\cdot \left(-\frac{13}{8}\right)\\

&=\left(\frac{-286+8}{13}\right)\cdot \left(-\frac{13}{8}\right)\\

&=\left(-\frac{278}{13}\right)\cdot \left(-\frac{13}{8}\right)\\

&=\boxed{\frac{139}{4}}.

The midpoint of a segment is (6,−4) and one endpoint is (13,−2). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint.

A. (20, -6)
B. (-1, 0)
C. (-1, -6)
D. (20, 0)

Answers

Answer:

(-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(13 + x)/2 = 6

13+x= 12

x = -1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(-2 + y ) / 2 = -4

-2 + y = -8

y = -6

The coordinates of the other endpoint will be (-1,-6). The correct option is C.

What is the midpoint of the line?

Divide the measurement of the distance between the two end locations by 2. The middle of that line is located at this separation from either end.

A coordinate plane is a 2D plane that is formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines known as the x-axis and y-axis.

Given that the midpoint of a segment is (6,−4) and one endpoint is (13,−2).

The x- coordinate will be calculated as:-

(13 + x)/2 = 6

13+x= 12

x = -1

The y-coordinate will be calculated as:-

(-2 + y ) / 2 = -4

-2 + y = -8

y = -6

Therefore, the coordinates of the other endpoint will be (-1,-6). The correct option is C.

Given the mean of a random variable, X, is 10 and P(X < 11) = 0.67. Find the standard deviation.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the problem we need to solve:

[tex]z=\frac{x_i-\bar{x}}{\sigma}[/tex] and we have everything but the z-score (which we find from a table) with our main unknown being the standard deviation.

If the probability that a random variable that is less than 11 is .67, we first have to find the z-score from the table that is closest to .67, and there are 2:

P(z < .43) = .66640 and P(z < .44) = .67003

We'll use z = .44

[tex].44=\frac{11-10}{\sigma}[/tex] and

[tex].44=\frac{1}{\sigma}[/tex] and

[tex]\sigma=\frac{1}{.44}[/tex] so

σ = 2.27 (check it; it works!)

Ms. Sutton recorded the word counts and scores of the top ten essays in a timed writing contest. The table shows her data.

A 3-row table with 10 columns. The first row is labeled essay rank with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The second row is labeled essay score with entries 9.7, 9.5, 9.5, 9.0, 8.9, 8.9, 8.5, 8.4, 8.2, 7.0. The third row is labeled word count with entries 324, 352, 337, 318, 299, 304, 290, 291, 278, 250.

How does the word count of an essay relate to its score in the contest?

Word count tends to decrease as the score decreases.
Word count tends to increase as the score decreases.
Word count tends to remain constant as the score decreases.
Word count has no apparent relationship to the score of the essay.

Answers

Answer:

The word count tend to decrease as the score decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3-row table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Essay \ Rank&Essay \ Score&Word \ Count\\1&9.7&324\\2&9.5&352\\3&9.5&337\\4&9.0&318\\5&8.9&299\\6&8.9&304\\7&8.5&290\\8&8.4&291\\9&8.2&278\\10&7.0&250\end{array}[/tex]

The relationship between the values on the Word Count column and the values on the Essay Score column is that as the Essay Score decreases from the top down to the last row, the values on the Word Count generally decreases in the same manner (top down decrease)

Therefore, the Word Count decreases as the Essay Score decreases.

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{\frac{1}{5}, \frac{21}{5}}[/tex]

In order to set each equation equal to each other, we must have them both equal the same variable.

Rearrange the top equation to make it equal to y:

x - y = -4

Add 4 to both sides and add y to both sides:

x + 4 = y

Now, we can set both equations equal to each other:

x + 4 = 5(x + 1)² - 3

Begin solving by expanding the square binomial:

x + 4 = 5(x² + 2x + 1) - 3

Simplify:

x + 4 = 5x² + 10x + 5 - 3

x + 4 = 5x² + 10x + 2

Bring all terms to one side:

0 = 5x² + 9x - 2

Factor:

0 = (5x - 1)(x + 2)

Set the other factor equal to 0:

5x - 1 = 0

5x = 1

x = 1/5

Plug in this value of x into an original equation:

1/5 - y = -4

1/5 + 4 = y

1/5 + 20/5 = y

y = 21/5

Point Q is located at (-4, 6). Point R is located at (8, 6).
What is the distance from point Q to point R?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Given;

Point Q is located at (-4, 6). Point R is located at (8, 6).

Note: Use distance formula.

Now;

[tex](d) = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} } [/tex]

Keep all values;

[tex](d) = \sqrt{ {(8 + 4)}^{2} + ( {6 - 6)}^{2} } [/tex]

Simplify;

[tex](d) = \sqrt{( {12)}^{2} } [/tex]

Therefore, the distance is 12 units.

12.5 ft
11.6 ft
19.2 ft
16.7 ft

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape cam be split into a triangle and a trapezoid

✔️Area of the trapezoid = ½(a + b)h

Where,

a = 12.5 ft

b = 16.7 ft

h = 11.6 ft

Plug in the values

Area of the trapezoid = ½(12.5 + 16.7)*11.6

Area of trapezoid = 169.36 ft²

✔️Area of the triangle = ½*b*h

b = 16.7 ft

h = 19.2 - 11.6 = 7.6 ft

Area of the triangle = ½*16.7*7.6

= 63.46 ft²

✔️Area of the shape = 169.36 + 63.46

= 232.82 ft²
