Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer to this question is: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

because these two triangles are similar, that means the hypotenuse are similar. which means you can set the sides equal to each other like this:

13 = 4x + 1 minus one on both sides and you should get 4x = 12 and then divide 4 on both sides and you should finally get x = 3

Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$ -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at $x = -2$

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$

Expand the numerator

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}$

Factorize

$p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}$

Factor out x + 1

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

$x -> -2^{-}$ Say x = -3

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

$p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12$

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: $x>-2$

Say x = -2.1

$p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1$

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

So, the behavior is:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Rachel's cell phone company charges $0.10 per minute. She used 350 minutes last month and paid $84. writ and solve a linear equa

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cuz,
x equals the number of minutes so use the y slope formula

0.10(x)+the intercept = y
0.10(350)+the intercept = 84
35+the intercept = 84
the intercept = 49
so the equation is
0.10(x)+49 = y
or
1/10(x)+49 = y
1/10(300)+49=y
30+49=y
79=y
so the answer is 79 dollars

In the Central City Grand Prix, out of 30 cars that started the race, 12 of them finished. What percent of the cars finished the

snow_lady [41]

To get the answer we can use proportion.
30----------100%
12-----------x
Cross multiply now
30x=12*100%
30x=1200% /:30 (divide both sides by 30)
x=40% - it's the percentage of cars which finished the race.
100%-40%=60% - it's the answer

The perimeter of a rectangular window is 43 feet. The width of the window is 5 ft more than the length. Find the width of the wi

Greeley [361]

Answer:

13.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the window. Then w-5 represents the length, and the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L+W)

43 = 2((w-5) +w) = 4w -10

53/4 = w = 13.25 . . . feet

The width of the window is 13.25 ft.
