Question

select the correct answer.

evaluate the following expression when \\(x = -4\\) and \\(y = 4\\).

\\\frac{x^6 - x}{4y}\\

\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{16,385}{4}\\)

\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{1,023}{4}\\)

\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{1,025}{4}\\)

\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(-\frac{1,023}{4}\\)

Explanation:

Substitute the given values into the expression

$$ \frac{(-4)^6 - (-4)}{4(4)} $$

Simplify the numerator and denominator

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Reduce the fraction to simplest form

$$ \frac{4100}{16} = \frac{4100 \div 4}{16 \div 4} = \frac{1025}{4} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\frac{16,385}{4}\)
  • (B) \(\frac{1,023}{4}\)
  • (C) \(\frac{1,025}{4}\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(-\frac{1,023}{4}\)
