Answer:

See explanation below for further details.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational consist of two real numbers such that:

\frac{a}{b} =c

If c is a polynomial with a certain grade, then, both the numerator and the denominator must be also polynomials and the grade of the numerator must be greater than denominator.

If c is linear function, that is, a first order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example:

If a = x^{2} and b = x, then:

c = \frac{x^{2}}{x}

c = x

If c is a quadratic function, that is, a second order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example

If a = 3\cdot x^{3} and b = x, then:

c = \frac{3\cdot x^{3}}{x}

c = 3\cdot x^{2}

But if c is an exponential, both the numerator and the denominator must be therefore exponential function and grade of each exponential function must different to the other.

Example

If a = 10^{2x} and b = 3\cdot 10^x, then:

c = \frac{10^{2\cdot x}}{3\cdot 10^{x}}

c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^{2\cdot x -x}

c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^x

Otherwise, c would be equal to a constant function, that is, a polynomial with a grade 0.

If a = 5\cdot e^{x} and b = -3\cdot e^{x}, then:

Example

c = \frac{5\cdot e^{x}}{-3\cdot e^{x}}

c = -\frac{5}{3}

It is worth to add that exponential functions can be a linear combination of single exponential function, similar to polynomials.

Example

5\cdot a^2\cdot x -9

LA and B are vertical angles. If m_A = (5x + 5) and m_B = (4x + 29), then find the measure of_A.​
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

If A and B are vertical angles, then they are congruent, so their measures are equal.

This means

(5x + 5)º = (4x + 29)º

5x + 5 = 4x + 29

x = 24

Then angle A has measure (5*24 + 5)º = 125º.

5. The scale of a map says that 8 cm represents 5 km.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

a. 12.8 cm    b. 3.125

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any scale drawing use a proportion with one unit of values on the top and the other on the bottom. For example 8cm/5km = x/8km. So you would multiply 8 cm and 8 km and then divide by 5 to get 12.8 cm. For the second question plug in 5m in the numerator and solve for its denominator.
