Solve for a. a = 0 a = -1 a = 1 none

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

5/a - 2 / (1 - a) = 2 (a - 1)

Multiply each term by  a(1 - a)(a - 1):

5 (1 - a)(a - 1) - 2a(a - 1)  = 2a(1 - a)

5( a - 1 - a^2 + a)  - 2a^2 + 2a = 2a - 2a^2

5(-a^2 +  2a  - 1) - 2a^2 + 2a = 2a - 2a^2

-5a^2 + 10a - 5 - 2a^2 + 2a - 2a + 2a^2 = 0

-5a^2 + 10a - 5 = 0

-5(a^2 - 2a + 1) = 0

= -5(a - 1)^2 = 0

So a = 1.

But a = 1 cannot be a root because 2/ 1 - a would be 2/0 which is undefined.

Also 2 / (a - 1) is undefined.

7% of what lenght is 200 ft?
Nastasia [14]
If you would like to solve 7% of what length is 200 ft, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7% of what length is 200 ft
7% * x = 200
7/100 * x = 200      /*100/7
x = 200 * 100 / 7
x = 2857 ft

Result: 7% of 2857 ft is 200 ft.

The terminal side of an angle in standard position passes through p(–3, –4). what is the value of tangent theta?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

  4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of any angle (θ) in standard position that has point (x, y) on its terminal ray is ...

  tan(θ) = y/x

__

For the given point on the terminal side, the tangent is ...

  tan(θ) = (-4)/(-3) = 4/3

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are several ways this can be explained. One of them makes use of the relation between rectangular and polar coordinates:

  (x, y) = (r·cos(θ), r·sin(θ))

Then the ratio y/x is ...

  y/x = (r·sin(θ))/(r·cos(θ)) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ)
