Solve the rational equation 1/(x-2)-1/(x+3) = 1/5

Mathematics

sasho [114]4 years ago

Answer:

x = 5.09, -6.09.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/(x-2) - 1/(x+3) = 1/5

Multiply through by the LCM 5(x-2)(x+3):

5(x + 3) - 5(x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + 3)

5x + 15 - 5x + 10 = x^2 + x - 6

x^2 + x - 31 = 0

x = [ -1 +/- sqrt(1 - 1*1*31)] / 2

x = 5.09, -6.09.

Hello!

As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.

tan54≈1.38

This gives us the equation below.

1.38=22/x

Let's solve this equation for x.

1.38x=22

x=22/1.38

x=15.94

Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.

I hope this helps!

If on January 1,2015 you decide to read one thousand and one night over the next 1,001 night an which date would you finally fin
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Starting January 1, 2015, there are 364 remaining nights.
From 1,001 nights, it will be 637 nights left.

In 2016, there are 366 nights. Subtract it to 637 nights left, you will get 271 nights left.
In 2017, 271 is lesser than 365.
From January to August, the nights left is 28.
<span>
So the date will be September 28, 2017.</span>

Based on the right angle triangle and the given parameters, cos K = 5/13

<h3>Trigonometric ratios</h3>

  • sin = opposite / hypotenuse

  • cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

  • Tan = opposite / adjacent

Given parameters:

  • Hypotenuse = 13
  • Adjacent = 5
  • Opposite = 12

Therefore,

cos K = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos K = 5/13
