D

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

1. Values for which the expression is not defined

  1. Identify when the expression is undefined.

    A rational expression is undefined when its denominator is equal to zero.
    The given expression is m+13m2−2m−5\frac{m+1}{3m^2 - 2m - 5}.
    Set the denominator to zero:

    3m2−2m−5=03m^2 - 2m - 5 = 0
  2. Solve the quadratic equation for mm.

    We can factor the quadratic equation. We need two numbers that multiply to 3×−5=−153 \times -5 = -15 and add to −2-2. These numbers are −5-5 and 3.
    Rewrite the middle term:

    3m2−5m+3m−5=03m^2 - 5m + 3m - 5 = 0

    Factor by grouping:

    m(3m−5)+1(3m−5)=0m(3m - 5) + 1(3m - 5) = 0 (3m−5)(m+1)=0(3m - 5)(m + 1) = 0

    Set each factor to zero to find the values of mm:

    3m−5=0⇒3m=5⇒m=533m - 5 = 0 \Rightarrow 3m = 5 \Rightarrow m = \frac{5}{3} m+1=0⇒m=−1m + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow m = -1

    The expression is not defined for m=−1m = -1 and m=53m = \frac{5}{3}.

    The correct option is D.

    D. −1 and 53\boxed{\text{D. } -1 \text{ and } \frac{5}{3}}

    2. Finding the value of sin⁡p\sin p

  3. Use the trigonometric identity sin⁡2p+cos⁡2p=1\sin^2 p + \cos^2 p = 1.

    Given cos⁡p=725\cos p = \frac{7}{25} and 0∘<p<90∘0^\circ < p < 90^\circ.
    Substitute the value of cos⁡p\cos p into the identity:

    sin⁡2p+(725)2=1\sin^2 p + \left(\frac{7}{25}\right)^2 = 1 sin⁡2p+49625=1\sin^2 p + \frac{49}{625} = 1
  4. Solve for sin⁡p\sin p.

    Subtract 49625\frac{49}{625} from both sides:

    sin⁡2p=1−49625\sin^2 p = 1 - \frac{49}{625} sin⁡2p=625625−49625\sin^2 p = \frac{625}{625} - \frac{49}{625} sin⁡2p=625−49625\sin^2 p = \frac{625 - 49}{625} sin⁡2p=576625\sin^2 p = \frac{576}{625}

    Take the square root of both sides:

    sin⁡p=576625\sin p = \sqrt{\frac{576}{625}}

    Since 0∘<p<90∘0^\circ < p < 90^\circ, pp is in the first quadrant, so sin⁡p\sin p must be positive.

    sin⁡p=576625\sin p = \frac{\sqrt{576}}{\sqrt{625}} sin⁡p=2425\sin p = \frac{24}{25}

    The correct option is B.

    B. 2425\boxed{\text{B. } \frac{24}{25}}
