Answer:

B. \frac{x^2+5x+6}{2x+5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x+2}+\frac{1}{x+3}}

Add the fractions in the denominator.

\frac{1(x+3)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{1(x+2)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}

Denominators are equal, so combine.

\frac{x+3+x+2}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}

Combine like terms.

\frac{2x+5}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}

Back to the problem.

\displaystyle\frac{1}{\frac{2x+5}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}}

Apply fraction rule 1/b/c = c/b

\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}{2x+5}

Expand the brackets in the numerator.

\frac{x^2+5x+6}{2x+5}

Answer:

x^2 +5x+6

----------------------

2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

1

-----------------

1/(x+2) + 1/(x+3)

Multiply by ( x+2) * (x+3) in the numerator and denominator

1 * ( x+2) * (x+3)

-----------------

(1/(x+2) + 1/(x+3)) *( x+2) * (x+3)

Distribute

( x+2) * (x+3)

-----------------

((x+3) + (x+2))

Combine like terms

( x+2) * (x+3)

-----------------

2x+5

Foil the numerator

x^2 +2x+3x+6

---------------------

2x+5

Combine like terms

x^2 +5x+6

----------------------

2x+5

Suppose an airplane climbs 15 feet for every 40 feet it moves forward. What is the slope of this airplanes ascent?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the same as rise over run, or y/x. In this case, rise over run is 15 over 40, or 15/40. Simplified, this is 3/8.

Points P and Q belong to segment AB . If AB = a, AP = 2PQ = 2QB, find the distance: midpoints between AP QB
Digiron [165]

Answer: The distace between midpoints of AP and QB is \frac{a}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation: Points P and Q are between points A and B and the segment AB measures a, then:

AP + PQ + QB = a

According to the question, AP = 2 PQ = 2QB, so:

PQ = \frac{AP}{2}

QB = \frac{AP}{2}

Substituing:

AP + 2*(\frac{AP}{2}) = a

2AP = a

AP = \frac{a}{2}

Since the distance is between midpoints of AP and QB:

2QB = AP

QB = \frac{AP}{2}

QB = \frac{a}{2}*\frac{1}{2}

QB = \frac{a}{4}

MIdpoint is the point that divides the segment in half, so:

<u>Midpoint of AP</u>:

\frac{AP}{2} = \frac{a}{2}*\frac{1}{2}

\frac{AP}{2} = \frac{a}{4}

<u>Midpoint of QB</u>:

\frac{QB}{2} = \frac{a}{4}*\frac{1}{2}

\frac{QB}{2} = \frac{a}{8}

The distance is:

d = \frac{a}{4} - \frac{a}{8}

d = \frac{a}{8}

Geometry question on finding x.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

x =63^o

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • \text{ $\overline{MN} $ and $\overline{ML}$ are tangents .}

We know that the tangents are perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact . And here OLMN is a quadrilateral. Also we know that , the angle sum property a triangle is 360° .

<u>According</u><u> to</u><u> question</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\implies x + 117^o + 90^o +90^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x + 297^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x = 360^o - 297^o \\\\\implies x = 63^o

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> of</u><u> x</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>6</u><u>3</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
