For what values of y is the expression \(\frac{6y-1}{y^2 - y-6}\)

A.

\(\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{4}\)

B.

3, -2

C.

-3, 2

D.

0,1

Correct answer is B

The expression is not defines when y2 - y - 6 = 0
=> y2 - 3y + 2y - 6 = 0 => (y-3)(y+2) = 0 => y
-3 = 0 or y + 2 = 0 => y = 3 or -2

B.

2

C.

4

D.

8

Correct answer is B

T.S.A of the wall \(=2(7\times 5 + 7 \times x + 5 \times x) = 96\\
70 + 14x + 10x = 96 \Rightarrow 24x = 96-70=26\\
x = \frac{26}{24}=\frac{13}{12}\)

A.

\(\frac{2-x}{12xyz}\)

B.

\(\frac{2z-3x}{12xyz}\)

C.

\(\frac{4z-3x}{12xyz}\)
