Simplify the following:

(25/a - a l)/(a + 5)

Put each term in 25/a - a l over the common denominator a: 25/a - a l = 25/a - (a^2 l)/a:

(25/a - (a^2 l)/a)/(a + 5)

25/a - (a^2 l)/a = (25 - a^2 l)/a:

Answer: ((25 - a^2 l)/a)/(a + 5)

A photocopy machine can reduce copies to 80% of their original size. By copying an already reduced copy, further reductions can

alukav5142 [94]

Part a) if a page is reduced to 80%, what percent enlargement is needed to return it to its original size?

Let

x---------> the percent enlargement

we know that

the original size is the 100%

x*80%=100%

x=(100%/80%)

x=1.25--------> 1.25=(125/100)=125%

therefore

the answer Part a) is

the percent enlargement is 125%

Part b) Estimate the number of times in succession that a page must be copied to make the final copy less than 15% of the size of the original

we know that

A photocopy machine can reduce copies to 80% of their original size

Copy N 1

0.80*100%=80%

Copy N 2

0.80*80%=64%

Copy N 3

0.80*64%=51.2%

Copy N 4

0.80*51.2%=40.96%

Copy N 5

0.80*40.96%=32.77%

Copy N 6

0.80*32.77%=26.21%

Copy N 7

0.80*26.21%=20.97%

Copy N 8

0.80*20.97%=16.78%

Copy N 9

0.80*16.78%=13.42%-------------> 13.42% < 15%

therefore

the answer Part b) is

the number of times in succession is 9

Se distribuyen 400 bolsas en tres urnas sabiendo que la primera tiene 80 menos que la segunda y esta tiene 60 menos que la terce

laiz [17]

Answer:

Primeras urnas = 60 bolsas

Segundas urnas = 140 bolsas

Terceras urnas = 200 bolsas

Step-by-step explanation:

Deje que las urnas se representen de la siguiente manera

Primeras urnas = a

Segundas urnas = b

Terceras urnas = c

Se nos dice en la pregunta

400 bolsas se distribuyen en tres urnas

Por lo tanto,

a + b + c = 400 bolsas ......... Ecuación 1

Por la pregunta sabemos que

1) El primero tiene 80 menos que el segundo

a = b - 80

2) Y este segundo tiene 60 menos que el tercero

b = c - 60

Por tanto, c = b + 60

Por lo tanto, sustituimos b - 80 por ayb + 60 por c en la Ecuación 1

a + b + c = 400 bolsas ......... Ecuación 1

b - 80 + b + b + 60 = 400 bolsas

Recopilar términos similares

b + b + b - 80 + 60 = 400 bolsas

3b = 400 + 80 - 60

3b = 420

b = 420/3

b = 140 bolsas

Por lo tanto, el número de bolsas en la segunda urna = 140 bolsas

Dado que a = b - 80

a = 140 bolsas - 80

a = 60 bolsas

Por lo tanto, el número de bolsas en la primera urna = 60 bolsas

Dado que c = b + 60

b = 140 bolsas

c = 140 + 60

c = 200 bolsas.

El número de bolsas en las terceras urnas = 200 bolsas.

Lonzell said the function shown in the graph is positive on the interval (−,) and negative on the interval (−,−)open negative 5

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The positive graph is on the points (-5,-4) and (2,5)

And, negative would be (-4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it seems that fgraph shows positive in the case when it is over x-axis, and negative when it is below y-axis

As on the interval (-1,5)

The graph is below x-axis i.e. on (-1,2)

And, over x-axis i.e. on (2,5)

At this point Lonzell’s is not correct

As on the interval (-5,-1)

The graph is below x-axis i.e. on (-4,-1)

And, over x-axis i.e. on (-5,4)

At this point Lonzell’s is not correct

So,

The positive graph is on the points (-5,-4) and (2,5)

And, negative would be (-4,2)
