                              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.

If you vertically compress the square root parent function f(x) = ^x, by 1/2 of a unit what is the equation of the new function

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The equation of the new function is $g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function f(x).

a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.

f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.

f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left

In this question:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x}$

Vertically compressing by 1/2:

This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So

$\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}$

The equation of the new function is $g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}$
