For what value of x is the rational expression below undefined?

Mathematics

Blizzard [7]3 years ago

Answer: The expression is undefined for x=4 and x=5.

The expression is undefined for any x that makes the denominator 0. This leads to solving a quadratic equation:

\frac{x+3}{x^2-9x+20}\\x^2-9x+20\neq 0\\x_{1,2}\neq\frac{9\pm\sqrt{9^2-80}}{2}=\frac{9\pm1}{2}\\x_1\neq4\\x_2\neq5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The rational expression is gien as :

\frac{x+3}{x^2-9x+20}

For being the function undefined, the denominator must be equal to zero.

x^2 -9x +20=0

factoring

(x-5)(x-4)=0

This will give two values of x, which are

x = 5 and x = 4

So,the answer is 4 and 5.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Find the slope of the line on the graph.write your answer as a fraction or a whole number, not a mixed number
Leona [35]

Answer:

slope = -\frac{1}{2}     if it were in an

Step-by-step explanation:

the graph is a negative and will therefore have a negative slope. to find the slope, pick a point on the graph and find the \frac{rise}{run}.

for instance, start with the point (0,1). Then go down 1 and left 2 to get to the next point on the graph (2,0). 1 is the "rise" and 2 is the "run" hence -1/2 being the slope.

you could also use the slope formula: \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

point 1: (0,1)    (x₁ ,y₁)

point 2: (2,0)    (x₂ , y₂)

\frac{0-1}{2-0} =-\frac{1}{2}

MRS.Bonnette's recipe for banana bread calls for 3 and one fourths cups of sugar. She wants to make 6.5 batches so that she has
densk [106]

Answer:

21/ \frac {1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're given that a batch requires 3 and one fourths cups of sugar, this is written as

3/ \frac {1}{4}

If she wants 6.5 batches then we just cross multiply

1 batch=3/ \frac {1}{4}

6.5 batches=x

X=6.5\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}

X=6/ \frac {1}{2}\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}

X=\frac {13}{2}\times \frac {13}{4}

X=\frac {169}{8}

X=21/ \frac {1}{8}
