Answer:
0.58
Step-by-step explanation:
20.88/36 = 0.58
The LCD is x^2+3x+2 = (x+2)(x+1)
The goal is to get each fraction to have the denominator be equal to the LCD
Afterward we can add the fractions
x/(x^2+3x+2) + 3/(x+1)
x/((x+2)(x+1)) + 3/(x+1)
x/((x+2)(x+1)) + (3(x+2))/((x+2)(x+1))
(x+3(x+2))/((x+2)(x+1))
(x+3x+6)/(x^2+3x+2)
(4x+6)/(x^2+3x+2)

Final Answer: 4x+6
Note: you can factor 4x+6 to get 2(2x+3)
Answer:
q = -8, k = 2.
r = -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x - p)^2 + q
This is the vertex form of a quadratic where the vertex is at the point (p, q).
Now the x intercepts are at -6 and 2 and the curve is symmetrical about the line x = p.
The value of p is the midpoint of -6 and 2 which is (-6+2) / 2 = -2.
So we have:
f(x) = 1/2(x - -2)^2 + q
f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 + q
Now the graph passes through the point (2, 0) , where it intersects the x axis, therefore, substituting x = 2 and f(x) = 0:
0 = 1/2(2 + 2)^2 + q
0 = 1/2*16 + q
0 = 8 + q
q = -8.
Now convert this to standard form to find k:
f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 - 8
f(x) = 1/2(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 8
f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x + 2 - 8
f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x - 6
So k = 2.
The r is the y coordinate when x = 0.
so r = 1/2(0+2)^2 - 8
= -6.
Answer: Coefficient
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving for an unknown variable that has a number preceding it, you will divide both sides of the equation by this number, which is known as the coefficient.
A coefficient is a number preceding any variable in a function for example, given the function 4x, the variable is 'x' and the number preceding it is 4. This number preceding the variable is what we call 'coefficient' of the variable 'x'
