Answer:

x > 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these three triangle inequalities must be satisfied:

AB +BC > AC

BC +CA > BA

CA +AB > CB

___

Taking these one at a time, we have ...

AB +BC > AC

3x +4 + 2x +5 > 4x

x +9 > 0 . . . . . subtract 4x

x > -9

BC +CA > BA

2x +5 + 4x > 3x +4

3x > -1 . . . . . . subtract 3x+5

x > -1/3 . . . . . divide by 3

CA + AB > CB

4x + 3x +4 > 2x +5

5x > 1 . . . . . . subtract 2x+4

x > 1/5

___

The only values of x that satisfy all of these inequalities are those such that ...

x > 1/5

$\large\boxed{\frac{84}{15}in^{2}}$

$\text{Area of a rectangle: A = l * w }\\\\w = 4\frac{1}{5}, \text{ and } l = \frac{4}{3} \\\\\text{Rewrite the mixed number into an improper fraction to make it easier to solve:}\\\\4\frac{1}{5} = \frac{21}{5}\\ \\\text{Multiply the two fractions:}\\\\\frac{21}{5}*\frac{4}{3} = \frac{21*4}{5*3} = \frac{84}{15}in^{2}$

Divide and express the result in standard form. 8/7-i

Gnoma [55]

$i=\sqrt{-1}\to i^2=-1\ (i-the\ imaginary\ unit)\\----------------------\\\\\frac{8}{7-i}\\\\use\ (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\\\\\frac{8}{7-i}\cdot\frac{7+i}{7+i}=\frac{56+8i}{7^2-i^2}=\frac{56+8i}{49-(-1)}=\frac{56+8i}{49+1}=\frac{56+8i}{50}=\frac{56}{50}+\frac{8}{50}i\\\\=\boxed{\frac{28}{25}+\frac{4}{25}i}$
