a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10
(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)
a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10
Now this equation is much simpler!
(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10
(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11
(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0
a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x
I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.
Answer:
C. teacher-student
Step-by-step explanation:
the pattern is girl, boy, girl boy, and teacher and student don't have a gender connection
D) you just multiply the numerator and denominator by 6 to get an equivalent fraction
Answer:
7 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
As with many geometry problems, there are several ways you can work this.
Label the lower left and lower right vertices of the rectangle points W and E, respectively. You can subtract the areas of triangles WSR and EQR from the area of trapezoid WSQE to find the area of triangle QRS.
The applicable formulas are ...
area of a trapezoid: A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
area of a triangle: A = (1/2)bh
So, our areas are ...
AQRS = AWSQE - AWSR - AEQR
= (1/2)(WS +EQ)WE -(1/2)(WS)(WR) -(1/2)(EQ)(ER)
Factoring out 1/2, we have ...
= (1/2)((2+5)·4 -2·2 -5·2)
= (1/2)(28 -4 -10) = 7 . . . . square units
