Answer:

B. \frac{4x^{2}+24x+31}{3x^{2}+13x+12}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a rational expression \frac{(x+5)}{(3x+4)}+\frac{(x+4)}{(x+3)} and we are asked to simplify our rational expression.

We can see that our denominators are not equal. Since the two denominators do not share any common factors, the common denominator is simply the product of these two denominators.      

To keep the value of expression same we will multiply the same quantity with numerators and denominators.

\frac{(x+5)(x+3)}{(3x+4)(x+3)}+\frac{(x+4)(3x+4)}{(x+3)(3x+4)}  

Now let us simplify our expression using FOIL.  

\frac{x^{2}+3x+5x+15}{3x^{2}+9x+4x+12}+\frac{3x^2+4x+12x+16}{3x^{2}+4x+9x+12}

\frac{x^{2}+8x+15}{3x^{2}+13x+12}+\frac{3x^2+16x+16}{3x^{2}+13x+12}    

Now we have same denominators, so we can add our numerators.

\frac{x^{2}+8x+15+3x^2+16x+16}{3x^{2}+13x+12}    

Now let us combine like terms.

\frac{(1+3)x^{2}+(8+16)x+15+16}{3x^{2}+13x+12}  

\frac{4x^{2}+24x+31}{3x^{2}+13x+12}  

Therefore, the simplest form of our given rational expression will be \frac{4x^{2}+24x+31}{3x^{2}+13x+12}  and option B is the correct choice.

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Use tan to find the missing side

tan 41 = 20/x     SImplify

0.8693 = 20/x   Multiply both sides by x

0.8693x = 20    Divide both sides by 0.8693

x = 23

Finding angles June 23.2020
finlep [7]

Answer:

angle B is 38 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ADC,

finding angle C

angle A + angle C = 110 degree (sum of two interior opposite angles are equal to the exterior angle formed)

46 + angle C = 110

angle C = 110 - 46

angle C = 64 degree

In triangle ABC

finding angle B

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180 degree (sum of interior angles of a triangle)

78 + angle B + 64 = 180

142 + angle B = 180

angle B = 180 - 142

angle B = 38 degree

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.
Trava [24]

Law of Cosines says


b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2 ac \cos B


2 a c \cos B = a^2 + c^2 - b^2


\cos B = \dfrac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2 a c}


\cos B = \dfrac{16^2 + 16^2 - 11^2}{2(16)(16)} = \dfrac{ 391}{512}


B = \arccos  \dfrac{ 391}{512} \approx 40.2 ^\circ


Choice C

Find the orthocenter of the triangle with the given vertices: L(2, 2), M(-4, 2), N(-2, 6) a (-2, 4) b (3, -5) c (2, -4) d (-3, 5
Norma-Jean [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  (-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.

A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.

__

Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:

  a (-2, 4)
