Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute the point (2,-1) into the given equation 5x+ky=12. The first number is 2, the x-value. The second number is -1, the y-value.

5x + ky = 12

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

2. Simplify

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

10 + (-k) = 12

10 - k = 12

2. Isolate k

10 - k = 12

-k = 12-10

-k = 2 <= here multiply both sides by (-1)

k = -2

Answer:

$2x + 6x + 8 = 32$

collect like terms

$8x + 8 = 32$

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign.

$8x = 32 - 8$

Subtract the numbers

$8x = 24$

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

$x = 3$

Find the sum of the terms.

kow [346]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x}{x^2+3x+2}$ + $\frac{3}{x+1}$ ← factor the denominator of first fraction

= $\frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)}$ + $\frac{3}{x+1}$

Multiply the numerator/ denominator of second fraction by (x + 2)

= $\frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)}$ + $\frac{3(x+2)}{(x+1)(x+2)}$

The denominators are now common, so add the numerators leaving the denominator, that is

= $\frac{x+3x+6}{(x+1)(x+2)}$

= $\frac{4x+6}{(x+1)(x+2)}$ → with numerator 4x + 6 → C

Pie

Answer:

#2 is the closest to the actual roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

$12x^{3} -65x^{2} +24x+10=0$

$\frac{2}{3}$ is not a root, but 0.68078 is.

The other roots are -0.24572 and 4.9816. The closest option is #2.
