Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

B. and C.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

Integration

Integrals
Indefinite Integrals
Integration Constant C

U-Substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

It seems like B and C are both the same answer.

Let's define our answer choices:

a. $\displaystyle \int {√(x - 1)} \, dx$

b. $\displaystyle \int {(1)/(√(1 - x^2))} \, dx$

c. $\displaystyle \int {(1)/(√(1 - x^2))} \, dx$

d. $\displaystyle \int {x√(x^2 - 1)} \, dx$

Let's run u-substitution through each of the answer choices:

a. $\displaystyle u = x - 1 \rightarrow du = dx \ \checkmark$

∴ answer choice A can be evaluated with a simple substitution.

b. $\displaystyle u = 1 - x^2 \rightarrow du = -2x \ dx$

We can see that this integral cannot be evaluated with a simple substitution. In fact, this is a setup for an arctrig integral.

∴ answer choice B cannot be evaluated using a simple substitution.

C. $\displaystyle u = 1 - x^2 \rightarrow du = -2x \ dx$

We can see that this integral cannot be evaluated with a simple substitution. In fact, this is a setup for an arctrig integral.

∴ answer choice C cannot be evaluated using a simple substitution.

D. $\displaystyle u = x^2 - 1 \rightarrow du = 2x \ dx \ \checkmark$

Using a little rewriting and integration properties, this integral can be evaluated using a simple substitution.

∴ answer choice D can be evaluated using a simple substitution.

Out of all the choices, we see that B and C cannot be evaluated using a simple substitution.

∴ our answer choices should be B and C.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling an odd number on a fair die with six faces?3/4
1/2
1/3
1/6

Answers

In a die, there are 3 odd numbers, specifically: 1, 3 and 5.
In probability for a certain event, it is a ratio of the number of favorable outcomes over the total number of possible outcomes.

Since we have 3 favorable outcomes and 6 total possible outcomes, thus
P = 3/6 = 1/2 (in lowest term)

Which polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares? 10a2 + 3a – 3a – 16 16a2 – 4a + 4a – 1 25a2 + 6a – 6a + 36 24a2 – 9a + 9a + 4

Answers

16a² - 4a + 4a - 1 can be simplified to a difference of squares:

16a² - 4a + 4a - 1 =
16a² - 1 =
(4a)² - 1² =
(4a-1)(4a+1)

Answer:

2. $16a^2-4a+4a-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

1. $10a^2+3a-3a-16$

Combine like terms

$10a^2-16$

10 in $10a^2$ is not a perfect square number because when a number end with one zero then the number is not perfect square number.

Therefore, it can not be simplified to a difference of squares.

2. $16a^2-4a+4a-1$

$16a^2-1$

Combine like terms

$(4a)^2-(1)^2$

Hence, the polynomial can be simplified as difference of squares.

3. $25a^2+6a-6a+36$

Combine like terms

$25a^2+36$

$(5a)^2+(6)^2$

Hence, the polynomial can not be simplified as difference of squares because the polynomial can be simplified as sum of squares.

4. $24a^2-9a+9a+4$

Combine like terms

$24a^2+4$

$24a^2+(2)^2$

$24=2* 2* 3* 2$

24 is not a perfect square number because when factorize 24 then 2 and 3 are not paired.

Hence, the polynomial can not be simplified as difference of squares.

Show that the system of rational expressions is closed under addition, or give an example showing the contrary.

Answers

Let p/q, r/s be elements of Q , the set of rational numbers, where q and s are non zero.We need to show that the sum is also a rational number.p/q + r/s = (p*s + q*r ) /(q*s)
Since q and s are non zero, the sum is a rational number.
