The answer is the first one (A): -ostomy.

Explanation for each option: A. -ostomy: This suffix means "to surgically create an opening." It is used in medical terminology to describe procedures where an artificial opening is created, such as a colostomy (an opening in the colon) or a tracheostomy (an opening in the trachea).

B. -plasty: This suffix means "surgical repair" or "reconstruction." It is used in terms like rhinoplasty (surgical repair of the nose) or angioplasty (surgical repair of a blood vessel).

C. -otomy: This suffix means "cutting into" or "incision." It is used in terms like tracheotomy (cutting into the trachea) or laparotomy (cutting into the abdominal cavity).

D. -ectomy: This suffix means "surgical removal" or "excision." It is used in terms like appendectomy (removal of the appendix) or tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils).

Summary: The suffix that means "to surgically create an opening" is -ostomy.

Divide as indicated. (12x^2+16)/(x-5) ÷ (15x^2+20)/(x^2-25) Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. (Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Use a comma to separate answers as needed) A. (12x^2+16)/(x-5)+(15x^2+20)/(x^2-25)=, x ≠ B. (12x^2+16)/(x-5) ÷ (15x^2+20)/(x^2-25) = no numbers must be excluded.

Figure 9: Instrumentation amplifier. Consider the circuit in Figure 9, which represents an instrumentation amplifier (A1, A2, A3) with additional functionality (A4, A5). All operational amplifiers are assumed to be ideal. (a) [5 points] Derive the transfer function H1(s) = (V2-V1)/(Vint-Vin). Hint: Set up independent equations that involve Ig, the current through Rg and eliminate Ig. Use your knowledge about ideal operational amplifiers. (b) [5 points] Derive an expression for (V01)/(Vout) of the sub-circuit with A 5 and for (V02)/(Vout) of the sub-circuit with A4. Calculate the transfer function H2(s) = (V02-V01)/(Vout). (c) [4 points] Set up the circuit equations for operational amplifier A3: Find a relationship between VN and VP, then set up circuit equations for V1, Vol, V2, and Vo 2 to derive the transfer function H3(s) = (V02-V0)/(V2-V1).
