Solve the equatuon x/2-(2/(x+1))=1 x=?

Snezhnost [94]

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{2}{x+1}=1$

We have 2 denominators that we need to get rid of. Whenever there are the denominators, all we have to do is multiply all whole equation with the denominators.

Our denominators are both 2 and x+1. Therefore, we multiply the whole equation by 2(x+1)

$\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]$

Then shorten the fractions.

$\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]\\x(x+1)-2(2)=1(2x+2)$

Distribute in all.

$x^2+x-4=2x+2$

We should get like this. Because the polynomial is 2-degree, I'd suggest you to move all terms to one place. Therefore, moving 2x+2 to another side and subtract.

$x^2+x-4-2x-2=0\\x^2-x-6=0\\$

We are almost there. All we have to do is, solving for x by factoring. (Although there are more than just factoring but factoring this polynomial is faster.)

$(x-3)(x+2)=0\\x=3,-2$

Thus, the answer is x = 3, -2

Doug hits a baseball straight towards a 15 ft high fence that is 400 ft from home plate. The ball is hit 2.5ft above the ground

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$125.4\ \text{m/s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

u = Initial velocity of baseball

$\theta$ = Angle of hit = $30^{\circ}$

x = Displacement in x direction = 400 ft

y = Displacement in y direction = 15 ft

$y_0$ = Height of hit = 2.5 ft

$a_y$ = g = Acceleration due to gravity = $32.2\ \text{ft/s}^2$

t = Time taken

Displacement in x direction

$x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}}$

Displacement in y direction

$y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow y=y_0+u\sin\theta t+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 15=2.5+u\sin30^{\circ}(\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -32.2\times (\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}-12.5=0\\\Rightarrow 218.44=\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{10304000}{3\times218.44}}\\\Rightarrow u=125.4\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence is $125.4\ \text{m/s}$

Assume that the weight loss for the first month of a diet program varies between 6 pounds and 14 pounds, and is spread evenly ov

Llana [10]

Hello!

For this uniform distribution, the shape of the density function is a line. We can begin by identifying key elements of the distribution:

Range: 6 to 14 pounds

Formula of density function:

y = 1/Range

1 - (14 - 6) = 1/8 = 0.125

f(x) = 0.125

1)

P(x = 7)

A uniform distribution is a continuous distribution, so the probability of x being an EXACT value is approximately 0.

This is the same as if we took the following integral. (Finding the area under a curve with the same start and end point)
$\int\limits^a_a {f(x)} \, dx = 0$

Therefore, P(x = 7) = 0.

2)
We can think of this as finding the area of a rectangle.

The width would be the difference between 8.25 pounds and 12 pounds:
W = 12 - 8.25 = 3.75

The height would be the function (y = .125), or:
h = .125

Using the equation for the area of a rectangle: (A = h * w)

A = 3.75 * .125 = 0.469

Thus, P(8.25 < x < 12) = 0.469

3)
To find the probability GREATER than 10.50 pounds, we can subtract this value from the max value for the width:
W = 14 - 10.50 = 3.50

The height is the same as above:
h = .125

Solve for the area:
A = 3.50 * .125 = 0.4375

P(x > 10.5) = 0.4375
