Make t the subject of formula k=mtpr

A.

rk2+pm2

B.

rk2+pm2m2

C.

rk2pm2

D.

rk2p2m2

Correct answer is B

k=mtpr

km=tpr

(km)2=tpr

rk2=m2(tp)

t = \frac{rk^2 + m^2 p}{m^2}

Find the equation whose roots are -8 and 5

A.

x^2 + 13x + 40=0

B.

x^2 - 13x - 40=0

C.

x^2 - 3x +40=0

D.

x^2 + 3x - 40=0

Correct answer is D

Equation with roots -8 and 5: (x + 8)(x - 5) = 0

x^2 - 5x + 8x - 40 = 0

x^2 + 3x - 40 = 0

Simplify \frac{1}{x-3}-\frac{3(x-1)}{x^2 - 9}

A.

\frac{x-1}{x-3}

B.

\frac{-2}{x+3}

C.

\frac{x-1}{x+3}

D.

\frac{4x}{x^2-9}

Correct answer is B

\frac{1}{x-3}-\frac{3(x-1)}{x^2 - 9}\\ \frac{1}{x-3}-\frac{3(x-1)}{(x-3)(x+3)}\\ \frac{x+3-3x+3}{(x-3)(x+3)};\frac{-2x+6}{(x-3)(x+3)}\\ \frac{-2(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+3)}=\frac{-2}{x+3}
