Answer: $\bold{\dfrac{4x-5}{x-2}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since the expressions have the same denominator, we simply need to add the numerators.

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-2}+\dfrac{3x-8}{x-2}\quad =\quad \dfrac{x+3+3x-8}{x-2}\quad = \quad \large\boxed{\dfrac{4x-5}{x-2}}$

Answer:

3 * 10^6 if the answer is 3.64 * 10^6, you really ought to argue the meaning of estimate with your instructor.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very valuable question. Put your calculator away when you answer it. Using a calculator is sort of cheating.

1.3 * 10^3 roughly is roughly 1 * 10^3

2.8*10^3 hours is roughly 3 * 10^3

Forget the powers for now and just work with the 1 and 3

1*3 equals 3.

10^3 * 10^3 = 10^6 when the base of two numbers is the same (10 in this case) then the powers are added.

10^(3 + 3) = 10^6

So the answer is roughly 3*10^6

Now you can take out your calculator and get the answer.

1.3*10^3 * 2.8 * 10^3 = 3.64 * 10 ^ 6

Notice that the estimate (done in my head) is close enough to tell you what the answer should be. On a test, that's a very handy skill.

Can someone please help with these two questions please?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

S=4πr²

ds/dt=4π×2r×dr/dt=8πr dr/dt

dr/dt=60 cm/min

ds/dt=8π×60r=480πr

r=16,t=0

at t=2,r=16+32=48 cm

so ds/dt=480π×48=23040 πcm²≈72382.79 cm²

$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2*h\\\frac{r}{h} =\frac{2}{3} \\r=\frac{2}{3} h\\V=\frac{1}{3} \pi( \frac{2}{3} *h)^2h\\V=\frac{4}{27} \pi h^3\\\frac{dV}{dt} =\frac{4}{27}\pi *3h^2\frac{dh}{dt} \\\\when ~h=1.8 ~m,\frac{dh}{dt} =2.1~m/min\\\frac{dV}{dt} =\frac{4}{9}\pi h^2\frac{dh}{dt} =\frac{4}{9} \pi*(1.8)^2*2.1=27.216 \pi \approx 85.502 m^3$

The angle BCD = 120°

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

A parallelogram and four angles

Required

Angle BCD

Solution

In A parallelogram

The sum of the four angles is 360°

Opposite angles are equal /congruent(A=C, B=D)

Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180 °, D + C = 180°, C + B = 180°, B + A = 180°).

We choose a solution by using

Consecutive angles :

∠C+∠B=180°

18x=180°

x=10

∠C=∠BCD =

$\tt 12x=12\times 10=120^o$

Or we can use another ways :

The sum of the four angles is 360°

∠A+∠B+∠C+∠D=360°

12x+6x+12x+6x=360°

36x=360°

x=10

∠C=∠BCD =

$\tt 12x=12\times 10=120^o$
