How can you solve a rational equation without graphing?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

To figure out the common denominator for these fractions, I'll first need to factor that quadratic in the denominator on the right-hand side of the rational equation. This will also allow me to find the disallowed values for this equation. Factoring gives me:

x2 – 6x + 8 = (x – 4)(x – 2)

The factors of the quadratic on the right-hand side "just so happen" to be duplicates of the other denominators. This often happens in these exercises. (So often, in fact, that if you get completely different factors, you should probably go back and check your work.)

Given a right prism where p is the perimeter of the base, h is the height, BA is the area of the bases, and LA is the lateral ar

Ymorist [56]

Let
p ----------------> is the perimeter of the base
h ---------------> is the height
BA-------------> is the area of the bases
LA--------------> is the lateral area

we know that surface area is the sum of base areas plus lateral areas
then
SA=[BA]+P*h
but remember that
LA=P*h
then
SA=[BA]+LA----------> SA=BA+LA

the answer are the options B.) SA=BA+LA and the option D.) SA=BA+ph
