Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3

------- = 3 + 1/x

x+2

Get a common denominator on the right

3*x/x + 1/x

3x/x + 1/x = (3x+1)/x


x+3       3x+1

------- = ---------

x+2         x


We can use cross products to solve

(x+3) *x = (3x+1) * (x+2)

x^2+3x = 3x*x +x + 3x*2 +2

Simplifying

x^2 + 3x = 3x^2 +7x+2

Subtract x^2 from each side

x^2 -x^2 + 3x = 3x^2-x^2 +7x+2

3x = 2x^2 +7x+2

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x = 2x^2 +7x -3x+2

0 = 2x^2 +4x +2

Divide by 2

0 = x^2 +2x +1

Factor

0 = (x+1) (x+1)

Using the zero product property

x+1 =0

x=-1

Answer:

The solution set is { -1 }.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we multiply each term by the LCM of x and x+ 2 ( = x(x + 2))  we get:-

x(x + 3) = 3x(x + 2)  + x + 2

x^2 + 3x = 3x^2 + 6x + x + 2

0 = 3x^2 - x^2 - 3x + 6x + x + 2

2x^2 +4x + 2 = 0

2(x^2 + 2x + 1) = 0

2( x + 1)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1    Multiplicity 2

The solution set  only contains 1 * -1 . Elements in a set are not repeated

So   its {-1}  (answer)

ozzi

4m +2(m+1) = 9m +5

4m +2m+2 = 9m +5

6m +2 = 9m +5

6m = 9m+3

-3m = 3

m = -1

What is the vertex of g(x) = –3x2 + 18x + 2?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(3,29)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a formula that can be used to find the x-value of the vertex of the parabola. This formula is x=\frac{-b}{2a}

We have the function g(x)=-3x^2+18x+2

From this function, we can find that

a=-3\\b=18\\c=2

We can plug in our know values into the formula to get

x=\frac{-18}{2(-3)\\} \\x=\frac{-18}{-6} \\\\x=3

Then we can plug in our x-value to find the y-value of the vertex

g(3)=-3(3)^2+18(3)+2\\\\g(3)=-3(9)+54+2\\\\g(3)=-27+54+2\\\\g(3)=29

This means that the vertex would be (3,29)
