I am in need of assistance.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

A. x = 6.08, x = -0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle \frac{2x}{x-4}-\frac{2x-5}{x^2-10x+24}=\frac{-3}{x-6}$

1. Factor the denominator.

$\displaystyle \frac{2x}{x-4}-\frac{2x-5}{(x-6)(x-4)}=\frac{-3}{x-6}$

2. Multiply the leftmost fraction by (x-6)/(x-6) to get common denominators.

$\displaystyle \Big ( \frac{x-6}{x-6} \Big ) \frac{2x}{x-4}-\frac{2x-5}{(x-6)(x-4)}=\frac{-3}{x-6}$

3. Simplify.

$\displaystyle \frac{2x^2-12x}{(x-4)(x-6)}-\frac{2x-5}{(x-6)(x-4)}=\frac{-3}{x-6}$

4. Combine like terms.

$\displaystyle \frac{2x^2-14x+5}{(x-4)(x-6)}=\frac{-3}{x-6}$

5. Multiply the right side of the equation by (x-4)/(x-4).

$\displaystyle \frac{2x^2-14x+5}{(x-4)(x-6)}=\frac{-3}{x-6} \Big ( \frac{x-4}{x-4} \Big )$

6. Simplify.

$\displaystyle \frac{2x^2-14x+5}{(x-4)(x-6)}=\frac{-3x+12}{(x-6)(x-4)}$

7. "Cancel" out the denominators because they are equivalent.

$2x^2-14x+5=-3x+12$

8. Set the equation equal to 0.

$2x^2-11x-7=0$

Quadratic formula:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

9. Factor using the quadratic formula.

$\displaystyle x = \frac{-(-11)\pm \sqrt{(-11)^2-4(2)(-7)} }{2(2)}$

10. Multiply and simplify.

$\displaystyle x = \frac{11 \pm \sqrt{177} }{4}$

11. Plug this into your calculator and solve for x.

$x=6.07603367 \approx 6.08$
$x=-0.57603367 \approx -0.58$

The correct answer is A. x = 6.08, x = -0.58.

Find the root of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B2x%20%7B%20%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%20%2B%20x%20%2B%20%20%5Csq

Answer:

The root of x = -2 + √2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given $\sqrt{2x^{2} } + x +\sqrt{2} = 0$

⇒ $\sqrt{2} } ( x^2 ) ^{\frac{1}{2} } + x +\sqrt{2} = 0$

⇒ $\sqrt{2}x + x +\sqrt{2} = 0$

⇒ $(\sqrt{2} + 1) x = - \sqrt{2}$

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

Step(ii):-

Rationalizing

$x = \frac{-\sqrt{2} }{(\sqrt{2} + 1)} X \frac{(\sqrt{2} - 1)}{(\sqrt{2} - 1)}$

Apply ( a-b ) ( a+b) = a²-b²

$x = \frac{-\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} -1) }{(\sqrt{2})^{2} - 1^{2} )} = \frac{-(2-\sqrt{2} }{2-1}$

The root of x = -2 + √2

What is the equation of the line that goes through (-5,0) and (-4,4)

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$y=4x+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation, use the slope-intercept equation:

$y=mx+b$

M is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, find the slope by using the slope formula for when you have two points:

$\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)}=\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Substitute values:

$(-5,0)(-4,4)\\(-5(x1),0(y1))\\(-4(x2),4(y2))\\\\\frac{4-0}{-4-(-5)}$

Simplify parentheses (two negatives make a positive) and simplify:

$\frac{4-0}{-4+5}\\\\\frac{4}{1}=4$

The slope, m, is 4. Insert this information into the equation:

$y=4x+b$

Now, take one of the points and insert into the slope-intercept formula:

$(-5,0)\\(-5(x),0(y))\\\\0=4(-5)+b$

Solve for b, the y-intercept. Simplify multiplication:

$0=-20+b$

Add 20 to both sides and simplify:

$0+20=-20+20+b\\20=b\\b=20$

The y-intercept, b, is 20. Insert this value into the equation:

$y=4x+20$

Done.
