(x – y)-1 + (x – y)-2arrow_forwardFor Exercises 115–120, factor the expressions over the set of complex numbers. For assistance, consider these examples. • In Section R.3 we saw that some expressions factor over the set of integers. For example: x - 4 = (x + 2)(x – 2). • Some expressions factor over the set of irrational numbers. For example: - 5 = (x + V5)(x – V5). To factor an expression such as x + 4, we need to factor over the set of complex numbers. For example, verify that x + 4 = (x + 2i)(x – 2i). 115. а. х - 9 116. а. х? - 100 117. а. х - 64 b. x + 9 b. + 100 b. x + 64 118. а. х — 25 119. а. х— 3 120. а. х — 11 b. x + 25 b. x + 3 b. x + 11arrow_forwardExercises 38–40 will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter.

- Rationalize the numerator of x+10 – 100 Paragraph A.arrow_forwardSuppose that in a certain state, all automobile license plates have three uppercase letters followed by three digits. Use the method illustrated in Example 9.2.2 to answer the following questions. (a) How many different license plates are possible? To answer this question, think of creating a license plate as a 6-step process, where steps 1–3 are to choose the uppercase letters to put in positions 1–3 and the remaining steps are to choose the digits to put in the remaining positions. There are ways to perform steps 1–3, and there are ways to perform the remaining steps. Thus, the number of license plates is . (b) How many license plates could begin with A and end in 0? In this case, the number of ways to place the A in Step 1 is and the number of ways to place the 0 in the final step is . Thus, the answer is . (c) How many license plates could begin with UVA? In this case, the number of ways to perform steps 1–3 is . Thus, the answer is . (d) How many license…arrow_forwardIn Exercises 126–129, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. 126. Once a GCF is factored from 6y – 19y + 10y“, the remaining trinomial factor is prime. 127. One factor of 8y² – 51y + 18 is 8y – 3. 128. We can immediately tell that 6x? – 11xy – 10y? is prime because 11 is a prime number and the polynomial contains two variables. 129. A factor of 12x2 – 19xy + 5y² is 4x – y.arrow_forward
