Answer: a=36; b=18


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the sum of two numbers is 54, then, you have:

a+b=54

2. According to the problem, the larger number is 18 more than the sampler number, this can be expressed as following:

a=b+18

3. Then, you must substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for b:

b+18+b=54

b=18

4. Then the value of a is:

a+18=55

a=36

Task: Nonpermissible Values for Rational Expressions [30 points] Write a rational expression that has the nonpermissible values
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A rational expression that has the nonpermissible values x = 0 and x = 17 is f(x) = \frac{4}{x\cdot (x-17)}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational expression has a nonpermissible value when for a given value of x, the denominator is equal to zero. In addition, we assume that both numerator and denominator are represented by polynomials, such that:

f(x) = \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} (1)

Then, the factorized form of q(x) must be:

q(x) = x\cdot (x-17) (2)

If we know that p(x) = 4, then the rational expression is:

f(x) = \frac{4}{x\cdot (x-17)} (3)

A rational expression that has the nonpermissible values x = 0 and x = 17 is f(x) = \frac{4}{x\cdot (x-17)}.

a rectangular block is such that the sides of its base are of the length x cm and 3x cm. The sum of all the lengths of all its e
Xelga [282]

Answer:

15x^2 - 12x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular block has 3 parts that play into its volume.  length, width and height.  The question gives us length and width in the form of x and 3x, so height is what's missing.

It gives us a bit more information saying the sum of its edges is 20.  We also have to ask how many lengths, widths and heights are there.  That may be a bit hard to understand, but  is you are looking at a block I could ask how many edges are vertical, just going up and down.  These would be the heights.  There are 4 total, and this goes the same for length and width, so 4*length + 4*width and 4*height = 20.  

Taking that and plugging in x for length and 3x for width (or you could do it the other way around, it doesn't matter, you get:

4*x + 4*3x + 4*height = 20

4x + 12x + 4h = 20

16x + 4h = 20

4h = 20 - 16x

h = 5 - 4x

Now we have h in terms of x, which lets us easily find the volume just knowing x.  To find the volume of a rectangular block you just multiply the length, width and height.

x*3x*(5-4x)

3x^2(5-4x)

15x^2 - 12x^3

Question doesn't give a specific value for x at all so you should be done there.  Any number you plug in for x should get you the right answer
