for which rational
expression is -2 an excluded value of x?
a) x-3/x^2-4
b) x-3/x^2+4
c) x^2-4/x-3
d) x^2+4/x-3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

An excluded value is any value of x that makes the denominator of the rational expression zero as this would make the expression undefined.

For expression A

The denominator will be zero when x² - 4 = 0

x² - 4 is a difference of squares, thus

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

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

The excluded values of x are x = ± 2 ⇒ A

idk this answer sorry cant on this one.

step-by-step explanation:

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
