Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3

to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.

(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)²      (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3)    (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9  (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9      (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10          -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1                      (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1)                    (set each to equal 0)

x - 1 = 0                4x + 1 = 0
x = 1                      4x = -1
                               x = -1/4

place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.

answer is 1

Which of the following polynomial functions is graphed below?
Olegator [25]

Answer: B. f(x)=(x+4)(x-2)^2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

in the graph there's two negative x value and one positive x value

so the function should be in a form of f(x)= (x+a) (x-b)^2 (x+c)

the one with negative value has a square, (x-b)^{2}, because that's where the y = 0 (the point is hitting the (x,0))

What is the value of x?
scoray [572]

Answer:

x = 54.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ MAB and Δ MNP are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

\frac{MA}{MN} = \frac{MB}{MP} , substitute values

\frac{80.5-35}{80.5} = \frac{x}{96.6}

\frac{45.5}{80.5} = \frac{x}{96.6} ( cross- multiply )

80.5x = 4395.3 ( divide both sides by 80.5 )

x = 54.6

What is the sum? (2x + 4)/(x + 1) + (- x + 5)/(x + 1) (x - 1)/(x + 1) (1 - 1)/(2x + 2) (x + 9)/(x + 1) (x + 9)/(2x + 2)
butalik [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they already have a common denominator of x+1 we can add the numerators

(2x+4-x+5)/(x+1)

(x+9)/(x+1)
