Perform the indicated operations. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\left(4-\frac{3}{x+2}\right)\left(1+\frac{5}{x-1}\right)$$
The rational expression $$\frac{130 x}{100-x}$$ describes the cost, in millions of dollars, to inoculate \(x\) percent of the population against a particular strain of flu. a. Evaluate the expression for \(x=40, x=80,\) and \(x=90\) Describe the meaning of each evaluation in terms of percentage inoculated and cost. b. For what value of \(x\) is the expression undefined? c. What happens to the cost as \(x\) approaches \(100 \% ?\) How can you interpret this observation?
Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. An elevator at a construction site has a maximum capacity of 3000 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 245 pounds and each cement bag weighs 95 pounds, how many bags of cement can be safely lifted on the elevator in one trip?
Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A city commission has proposed two tax bills. The first bill requires that a homeowner pay \(\$ 1800\) plus \(3 \%\) of the assessed home value in taxes. The second bill requires taxes of \(\$ 200\) plus \(8 \%\) of the assessed home value. What price range of home assessment would make the first bill a better deal?
What's wrong with this argument? Suppose \(x\) and \(y\) represent two real numbers, where \(x>y .\) $$\begin{aligned} &2>1\\\ &2(y-x)>1(y-x)\\\ &2 y-2 x>y-x\\\ &\begin{aligned} y-2 x &>-x \\ y &>x \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$ The final inequality, \(y>x,\) is impossible because we were initially given \(x>y\)
