Simplify: \((\frac{1}{4})^{-1\frac{1}{2}}\) A. 1/8 B. 1/4 C. 2 D. 4 E. 8
Show Content
Detailed Solution\((\frac{1}{4})^{-1\frac{1}{2}}\)= \((\frac{1}{4})^{-\frac{3}{2}}\) = \((\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}})^{-3}\) = \((\frac{1}{2})^{-3}\) = \(2^3\) = 8 |

For what value of y is the expression \(\frac{y + 2}{y^{2} - 3y - 10}\) undefined? A. y = 0 B. y = 2 C. y = 3 D. y = 5 E. y = 10
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(\frac{y + 2}{y^2 - 3y - 10}\)\(y^2 - 3y - 10 = 0 \implies y^2 - 5y + 2y - 10 = 0\) \(y(y - 5) + 2(y - 5) = 0\) \((y - 5)(y + 2) = 0\) \(\frac{y + 2}{(y - 5)(y + 2)} = \frac{1}{y - 5}\) \(\therefore\) At y = 5, the expression \(\frac{y + 2}{y^2 - 3y - 10}\) is undefined. |

Factorize 3a\(^2\) - 11a + 6 A. (3a - 2)(a - 3) B. (2a -2)(a - 3) C. (3a - 2)(a + 3) D. (3a + 2)(a - 3) E. (2a-3)(a + 2)
Show Content
Detailed Solution3a\(^2\) - 11a + 63a\(^2\) - 9a - 2a + 6 3a(a - 3) - 2(a - 3) = (3a - 2)(a - 3) |

8. |
Solve the equation: 3a + 10 = a\(^2\) A. a = 5 or a = 2 B. a = -5 or a = 2 C. a = 10 or a = 0 D. a = 5 or a = 0 E. a = 5 or a = -2
Show Content
Detailed Solution3a + 10 = a\(^2\)a\(^2\) - 3a - 10 = 0 a\(^2\) - 5a + 2a - 10 = 0 a(a - 5) + 2(a - 5) = 0 (a - 5)(a + 2) = 0 a = 5 or a = -2. |

Simplify \((\frac{3}{x} + \frac{15}{2y}) \div \frac{6}{xy}\) A. \(\frac{2y - 5x}{4}\) B. \(\frac{9(2x - 5x)}{x^2y^2}\) C. \(\frac{5x - 2y}{2}\) D. \(\frac{c^2y^2}{18y - 45x}\) E. \(\frac{4}{2y - 5x}\)
Show Content
Detailed Solution\((\frac{3}{x} - \frac{15}{2y}) \div \frac{6}{xy}\)= \((\frac{6y - 15x}{2xy}) \div \frac{6}{xy}\) = \(\frac{6y - 15x}{2xy} \times \frac{xy}{6}\) = \(\frac{3(2y - 5x)}{2xy} \times \frac{xy}{6}\) = \(\frac{2y - 5x}{4}\) |

Simplify: 1/4(2n - 2n+2) A. 2n2 - 2n B. 2n-2(1-2n) C. 2n + 22n + 2 D. 22n
Show Content
Detailed Solution1/4(2n - 2n+2) = 2-2(2n - 2n x 22) = 2n x -2(1 - 22)= 22n-2(20 - 22) = 22n-2 - 2n |
