Solving the fraction $(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})$ we get $=(\frac{-2y+5x}{3x-2y})$

So, Option A is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the complex fraction: StartFraction negative 2 Over x EndFraction + StartFraction 5 Over y EndFraction divided by StartFraction 3 Over y EndFraction minus StartFraction 2 Over x EndFraction

Writing in mathematical form:

$(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})$

Solving the fraction:

$(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})\\Taking\,\,LCM\\=(\frac{-2y+5x}{xy})\div (\frac{3x-2y}{yx})\\Converting\,\,\div \,\,into\,\,multiplication\\=(\frac{-2y+5x}{xy})\times (\frac{yx}{3x-2y})\\Canceling\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=(\frac{-2y+5x}{3x-2y})$

So, solving the fraction $(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})$ we get $=(\frac{-2y+5x}{3x-2y})$

In words the answer will be: StartFraction negative 2 y + 5 x Over 3 x minus 2 y EndFraction

So, Option A is correct answer.

german

Probability of green= # of green marbles ÷ total # of marbles

= 6 ÷ (6 + 9)

= 0.4 OR $\frac{2}{5}$

Alan says that two lines in the coordinate plane are perpendicular if and only if the slopes of the lines are m and 1m. Identify

mart [117]

Answer:

First, two lines are perpendicular if one has slope m, and the other has slope -1/m (Not 1m as Alan says)

That is the first error of Alan.

Now, there is another error.

If m = 0, then -1/m tends to minus infinity (in this case we would have a vertical line).

But we can not really divide by zero, so we should state that:

m can not be zero, if a line is horizontal, the perpendicular line must be vertical.

The minimum of the graph of a quadratic function is located at (-1,2) . the point (2,20) is also shown on the parabola . which f

Gekata [30.6K]

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
the equation of a parabola is
y=a(x-h)²+k
where
(h,k) is the vertex --------> (h,k)--------> (-1,2)
so
y=a(x+1)²+2

point (2,20)
for x=2
y=20
20=a(2+1)²+2--------> 20=a*9+2--------> 9*a=18---------> a=2

the equation of a parabola is
y=a(x+1)²+2-------> y=2(x+1)²+2

therefore

the answer is the option
<span>C) f(x) = 2(x + 1)2 + 2</span>
