Answer:

x = 0 or x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

\dfrac{x}{x-2}+\dfrac{x-1}{x+1}=-1

Multiply the two denominators to get the same denominator:

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction to get the new numerator of the first fraction.

Multiply the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction to get the new numerator of the second fraction.

\implies \dfrac{x(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}+\dfrac{(x-2)(x-1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

Add the numerators and keep the denominator so that there is now one fraction:

\implies \dfrac{x(x+1)+(x-2)(x-1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

Simplify the numerator by expanding the brackets:

\implies \dfrac{x^2+x+x^2-3x+2}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

\implies \dfrac{2x^2-2x+2}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

Simplify the denominator by expanding the brackets:

\implies \dfrac{2x^2-2x+2}{x^2-x-2}=-1

Multiply both sides by the denominator of the left side:

\implies 2x^2-2x+2=-1(x^2-x-2)

Simplify and move everything to the left side:

\implies 2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+2

\implies 3x^2-3x=0

Factor:

\implies 3x(x-1)=0

Therefore:

\implies 3x=0 \implies x=0

\implies x-1=0 \implies x=1

Therefore, x = 0 or x = 1

<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large{\boxed{ \sf x = 1, \ x = 0 }

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

 \sf \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{x-2\:}+\:\dfrac{x-1}{x+1}=\:-1

\sf \Rightarrow \dfrac{x(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=\:-1

\sf \Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2+x+x^2-2x-x + 2}{x^2 - 2x + x - 2}=\:-1

\sf \Rightarrow 2x^2-2x+ 2=\:-1(x^2 - 2x + x - 2)

\sf \Rightarrow 2x^2-2x+ 2=\:-x^2 + 2x - x + 2

\sf \Rightarrow 2x^2+x^2 -2x - x+  2-2=0

 \sf \Rightarrow 3x^2 - 3x  = 0

 \sf \Rightarrow 3x(x - 1)  = 0

 \sf \Rightarrow 3x = 0 , \ x - 1  = 0

 \sf \Rightarrow x = 0 , \ x  =1

PLEASEEE HELP ME!!! I NEED THE ANWER ASAP!!!
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y = 3x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what the table should look like.

Number of Bars Sold (x)           Total Earnings (dollars) (y)

0                                                 30

1                                                  33

2                                                 36

3                                                 39

When x = 0, y = 30. The point (0, 30) is the y-intercept.

As x goes up by 1, from 0 to 1, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, y goes up by 3, from 30 to 33, from 33 to 36, from 36 to 39.

A change of 1 in x results in a change of 3 in y.

That is a slope of 3 since

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

We have m = 3 and b = 30, so the equation is

y = 3x + 30

Answer: 3x + 30

Which of the following is the solution to the differential equation dP/dt+P=10 with the initial condition P(0)=4
Ber [7]

Answer:

  •    Option C.    P=10-6e^{-t}

Explanation:

<u>1. Separate variables:</u>

      \dfrac{dP}{dt}+P=10\\ \\ \\ \\\dfrac{dP}{dt}=-P+10\\ \\ \\ \dfrac{dP}{-P+10}=dt

<u></u>

<u>2. Find the indefinite integrals</u>

    -\ln{(10-P)}=t+C

<u></u>

<u>3. Solve for P</u>

      10-P=e^{-t+C}\\ \\ 10-P=Ke^{-t}\\ \\ P=10-Ke^{-t}

<u></u>

<u>4. Use the initial condition, P(0) = 4, to find K:</u>

  • 4 = 10 - K(e⁰)
  • 4 = 10 - K
  • K = 10 - 4
  • K = 6

<u></u>

<u>5. Substitute K = 6 into the integrated equation:</u>

       P=10-6e^{-t}

That is the option C.
