Answer:

  • When we are having a rational expression i.e. a expression of the type:

\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}

Where f(x) and g(x) are polynomial functions.

Now the domain of this rational expression is whole of the real numbers except the points where the function g(x) will be zero.

Hence we have to exclude the points where the given denominator quantity is zero.

  • Let us consider an example as:

  Let R(x) denote the rational function as:

R(x)=\dfrac{x^2}{(x-2)(x-3)}

Now the domain of this rational function will be whole of the real line minus the points where the denominator is zero.

We know that (x-2)(x-3) is zero when x=2 or x=3.

Hence, the domain of R(x) is: R- {2,3}.

From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this.  One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther.  The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.

Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:

a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²

This simplifies to:

x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0

After that, we can divided each side by 2:

x² + 20x - 4800 = 0

Next, we have to factor:

(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80

Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.

x = 60
x + 20 = 80

Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.

A triangle has sides with lengths of 48 meters, 51 meters, and 31 meters. Is it a right triangle?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Putting values

= (31)^2 + (48)^2 = (51)^2

= 961 + 2304 = 2601

= 3265 = 2601

Both sides are not equal so it is not a right triangle

Help please on this math problem: The prices of backpacks at a store are 22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, and 26. Find the Mean Absol
Ivanshal [37]
Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)

========================================================

Explanation:

Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}

Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375

The mean is 26.375

Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative

|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375

Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8 
57.75/8 = 7.21875

The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.

The reference angle is
pi/3.

At 180 it would be 9pi/3 so going past that is 10pi/3.
