                              4/(x+1) = 3/x + 1/15
Should we make common denominators with everything, we get
           4*15*x / [15x(x+1)] = 3*15*(x+1)/[15x(x+1)] + x(x+1)/[15x(x+1)]
Multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to cancel them
                                         60x = 45(x+1) + x(x+1)
                                         60x = 45x + 45 + x^2 + x
                       x^2 - 14x + 45 = 0
                           (x-9)(x-5) = 0
The answer to this question is that the solutions are x=9 and x=5.

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through the point (2,4) with vertex (-1,-1) in vertex form.

quester [9]

An applicable equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is:

y-k = a(x-h)^2

Let x=2, y=4, h=-1 and k=-1, where (h,k) is the vertex. Then,

4-(-1) = a(2-[-1])^2, which becomes 5 = a(9). Therefore, a = 5/9, and the
equation of the parabola is

y+1 = (5/9)(x+1)

Somebody help me !!!! HELPP please!!!

stellarik [79]

Step 1: Read and understand the problem statement.

You are given (time, depth) pairs of (20 s, 8 cm) and (40 s, 0 cm) and asked to write an equation that describes the relationship of depth (y) to time (x).

The rate of change is (0 cm -8 cm)/(40 s -20 s) = -8 cm/(20 s) = -2/5 cm/s. Then in point-slope form using the second point, the linear function rule is
y = (-2/5)(x -40) +0
You can expand this to
y = (-2/5)x +16
y = -0.4x +16 . . . . . . using a decimal number for the slope

_____
If the bathtubs in your "draining race" start with the same level, the one with the steepest slope (-0.5 cm/s) will win.

The wall of Joan's living room measures 17 feet long and 8 feet high. To buy paint for the room, she needs to know the size of e

qwelly [4]

If your looking for square feet then your looking for the area.
A = L * H
A = 17 * 8
A = 136 sq ft <==

Logarithmic and Exponential Forms of Equations In Exercise, write the logarithmic equation as an exponential equation, or vice v

Nata [24]

Answer:

$12 = e^{2.4849}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression:

$ln(12) = 2.4849$

We need to remember that the natural log and the exponentiation with the base the euler number e are inverse operations, and if we apply exponentiation on both sides of the equation we got this:

$e^{ln(12)} = e^{2.4849}$

We have the identity operator for this $e^{ln(x)}= x$

$12 = e^{2.4849}$

And that would be our final answer for this case.
