If 2(4x + 3)/(x - 3)(x + 7) = a/x - 3 + b/x + 7, find the values of a and b.

zmey [24]

Answer:

$a=3$ and $b=5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

So I believe the problem is this:

$\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}=\frac{a}{x-3}+\frac{b}{x+7}$

where we are asked to find values for $a$ and $b$ such that the equation holds for any $x$ in the equation's domain.

So I'm actually going to get rid of any domain restrictions by multiplying both sides by (x-3)(x+7).

In other words this will clear the fractions.

$\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)=\frac{a}{x-3}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)+\frac{b}{x+7}(x-3)(x+7)$

$2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)$

As you can see there was some cancellation.

I'm going to plug in -7 for x because x+7 becomes 0 then.

$2(4\cdot -7+3)=a(-7+7)+b(-7-3)$

$2(-28+3)=a(0)+b(-10)$

$2(-25)=0-10b$

$-50=-10b$

Divide both sides by -10:

$\frac{-50}{-10}=b$

$5=b$

Now we have:

$2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)$ with $b=5$

I notice that x-3 is 0 when x=3. So I'm going to replace x with 3.

$2(4\cdot 3+3)=a(3+7)+b(3-3)$

$2(12+3)=a(10)+b(0)$

$2(15)=10a+0$

$30=10a$

Divide both sides by 10:

$\frac{30}{10}=a$

$3=a$

So $a=3$ and $b=5$ .

Which right prism would have the same volume as a square prism with a base area of 36 m2 and a height of 3 m?

Neko [114]

Well to find the volume of the square prism, first you need to multiply the base area (36) by its height (3) and you would end up with 108m3 as the volume. You may not be familiar with this because u are most likely taught length times width times height as volume, but what i just did is the same because length times width is the sum of the base area, and height was already given. Anyways, now that we have gotten the square prism volume (108m3) we need to find which prism has the same volume. I’m gonna save u from searching and tell you that it is the rectangular prism because length times width times height (18x2x3) equaled 108 just like the square prism.

Is 5/6 greater than 5/8

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Yes because fraction wise the denominator that is the smallest is greater. At least that is what I learned
