Answer:

19 in and 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x

Then the longer piece is x + 7

x + x + 7 = 45
2x = 45 - 7
2x = 38
x = 19

Short piece = 19 in

Long piece = 26 in

The fourth root? There is no simplifying to be done.

The only way to continue work on this is converting to decimal. To four places the answer is 3.3437.

If you meant to ask for the cube root, the answer is 5.

The following rational equation has denominators that contain variables. for this equation, A. write the value or values of the

dsp73

Answer:

A. -4 and 4

B. No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\dfrac{3}{x+4}+\dfrac{2}{x-4}=\dfrac{16}{(x+4)(x-4)}$

A.

Equate the denominators equal to 0 to find the restrictions on the variable.

$x+4=0\Rightarrow x=-4$

$x-4=0\Rightarrow x=4$

Therefore, $x\neq -4,4$ .

B.

We have,

$\dfrac{3}{x+4}+\dfrac{2}{x-4}=\dfrac{16}{(x+4)(x-4)}$

$\dfrac{3(x-4)+2(x+4)}{(x+4)(x-4)}=\dfrac{16}{(x+4)(x-4)}$

Multiply both sides by (x-4)(x+4).

$3x-12+2x+8=16$

$5x-4=16$

Add 4 on both sides.

$5x=16+4$

$5x=20$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=4$

Here the solution is x=4 but it is the restricted value.

Therefore, the given equation has no solution.
