In the rational expression,

Mathematics
1 answer:
Travka [436]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The reason why it is incorrect to cancel the 4x in the numerator with the 4x in the denominator is because 4x is not a factor of both the numerator and the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the rational expression, x^2 + 4x - 12 given above is a quadratic equation. It is not factorizable. If we factorize the numerator, 4x - 8, we would have

4 (x - 2).

This means 4x is not a factor of the numerator(4x - 8) and neither is it a factor of the denominator (x^2 + 4x - 12). This is the reason why it is incorrect to cancel the 4x in the numerator with the 4x in the denominator. The factors of the denominator can only be gotten by using the general formula for solving quadratic equations

Find the surface area of a pyramid with a square base with dimensions 100 mm by 100 mm and height of 75 mm.
Reil [10]

To solve for the surface area of the pyramid, we make use of the formula:

A= l w + l [sqrt ((w / 2)^2 + h^2)] + w [sqrt ((l / 2)^2 + h^2))

where,

l and w are the base of the pyramid = 100 mm

h is the height of the pyramid = 75 mm

 

Substituting the given values into the equation:

A= 100 * 100 + 100 [sqrt ((100 / 2)^2 + 75^2)] + 100 [sqrt ((100 / 2)^2 + 75^2))

A = 10,000 + 100 (sqrt 2575) + 100 (sqrt 2575)

A = 20,148.90 mm^2

 

Therefore the surface area of the pyramid is about 20,149 mm^2.

Write an equation of the line perpendicular to
AysviL [449]

Answer:

From general equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m » slope, b » y-intercept.

but perpendicularly:

m _{1} \times m _{2} =  - 1 \\  - 3 \times m =  - 1 \\ m =  \frac{1}{3}

at point (6, 2):

2 = ( \frac{1}{3}  \times 6) + b \\ 2 = 2 + b \\ b = 0

therefore, equation is :

{ \boxed{ \boxed{y =  \frac{1}{3} x}}}
