Answer:

<h2>x = 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$-7x-3x=-8x-8\\\\-10x=-8x-8\qquad\text{add}\ 8x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\-10x+8x=-8x+8x-8\\\\-2x=-8\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{-8}{-2}\\\\x=4$

Find the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression with prime quadratic factors in the denominator

SpyIntel [72]

$\dfrac{5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21}{(x-3)(x^2-2)^2}=\dfrac{a_1}{x-3}+\dfrac{a_2x+a_3}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{a_4x+a_5}{(x^2-2)^2}$
$\implies 5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=a_1(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(a_4x+a_5)(x-3)$

When $x=3$ , you're left with

$147=49a_1\implies a_1=\dfrac{147}{49}=3$

When $x=\sqrt2$ or $x=-\sqrt2$ , you're left with

$\begin{cases}17-8\sqrt2=(\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(\sqrt2-3)&\text{for }x=\sqrt2\\17+8\sqrt2=(-\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(-\sqrt2-3)\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}-5+\sqrt2=\sqrt2a_4+a_5\\-5-\sqrt2=-\sqrt2a_4+a_5\end{cases}$

Adding the two equations together gives $-10=2a_5$ , or $a_5=-5$ . Subtracting them gives $2\sqrt2=2\sqrt2a_4$ , $a_4=1$ .

Now, you have

$5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(x-5)(x-3)$
$5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3x^4-11x^2-8x+27+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)$
$2x^4-7x^3-x^2+14x-6=(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)$

By just examining the leading and lagging (first and last) terms that would be obtained by expanding the right side, and matching these with the terms on the left side, you would see that $a_2x^4=2x^4$ and $a_3(-3)(-2)=6a_3=-6$ . These alone tell you that you must have $a_2=2$ and $a_3=-1$ .

So the partial fraction decomposition is

$\dfrac3{x-3}+\dfrac{2x-1}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x^2-2)^2}$

A rectangle is 12 feet long and 5 feet wide. If the length of the rectangle is increased by 25% and the width is decreased by 20

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

30 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the main area of the rectangle to determine the changes.

We know, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Given,

Length = 12 feet

Width = 5 feet

Therefore, the area of the rectangle = (12 × 5) Square feet.

The area of the rectangle = 60 square feet.

Now, if the length of the rectangle increased by 25%, the new length would be = 12 feet (12 feet × 25%) = 12 feet + 3 feet = 15 feet.

If the width increased by 20%, the latest width would be = 5 feet + (5 feet × 20%) = 5 feet + 1 foot = 6 feet.

The new area of that rectangle = (15 × 6) square feet = 90 square feet.

The changes of area from the previous rectangle is = (90 - 60) square feet = 30 square feet.
