3/(x +1) = 5/11
(x + 1)/3 = 11/5
x + 1 = 33/5
x = 33/5 - 1
x = 28/5 = 5 3/5

Answer: x=5\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given proportion : \frac{3}{(x+1)}=\frac{5}{11}\\\\\text{Multiplying both sides by 11 (x+1), we get}

\frac{3}{(x+1)}\times11(x+1)=\frac{5}{11}\times11(x+1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 33=5(x+1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 33=5x+5\\\\\text{Subtract 5 on both sides, we get}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=33-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=28\text{Dividing 5 on both sides, we get}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{28}{5}\\\\\text{In mixed fraction}\\\\ x=5\frac{3}{5}

Answer:

No real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7x² + 5x + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 7, b = 5, c = 1

To determine the nature of the roots use the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then the roots are not real

Here

b² - 4ac = 5² - (4 × 7 × 1) = 25 - 28 = - 3

Thus the 2 roots are not real

When sending a rectangular package through the U.S. Postal Service, the combined length and girth (perimeter of the cross sectio
weqwewe [10]
Let W = width of package
Let H = height of package
Let L = length of package

The perimeter cab be one of the following:
P = 2(L + W),  or
P = 2(L + H)

The perimeter of the cross section cannot exceed 108 in.
When the width is 10 in, then
 2(L + 10) <= 108
 L + 10 <= 54
 L <= 44 in

When the height is 15 in, then
2(L + 15) <= 108
L + 15 <= 54
L <= 39 in

To satisfy both of these conditions requires that L <= 39 in.

Answer: 39 inches

3241004551 [841]

ANSWER

f(3) =  - 25

EXPLANATION

We want to determine the value of f(3) that will lead to an average rate of change of 19 over the interval [3, 5].

The average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [a,b]:

=  \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

If the average rate of change over the interval [3, 5] is 19, then;

\frac{f(5) - f(3)}{5 - 3}  = 19

From the to table f(5)=13

\frac{13 - f(3)}{2}  = 19

13 - f(3) = 19 \times 2

13 - f(3) = 38

- f(3) = 38 - 13

- f(3) = 25

f(3) =  - 25
