This question can be solved using the Herons equation where 
A = SQRT [s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]

A = area of the triangle
a, b and c are the sides of the triangle

s = (a+b+c)/2

Since we are given the area, we can express "s" as a function of the third side c. This can be substituted in the original equation so as to obtain an expression to solve for the third side c

s = (4+10+c)/2 = (14+c)/2

using the solver function of the calculator or MS Excel, the third side is 7.21 units

11/98 x 2/99 = ???????
Nutka1998 [239]
All we have to do is multiply the numerator by the other numerator and the denominator by the other denominator.
11•2=22
98•99=9702
They are both even, so we can divide by two with both numbers.

4851 can be divided by 11. So we can divide the top and bottom by 11.
1/441 is the product.

Solve the rational function of (check image) and check for extraneous solutions
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

i.e. x = 1, x = 0 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\frac{5}{x}=\frac{4x+1}{x^2}

Solving the rational function

\frac{5}{x}=\frac{4x+1}{x^2}

Apply fraction across multiply: if \frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c

5x^2=x\left(4x+1\right)

Subtract x(4x+1) from both sides

5x^2-x\left(4x+1\right)=x\left(4x+1\right)-x\left(4x+1\right)

Simplify

5x^2-x\left(4x+1\right)=0

5x² - 4x² - x = 0

x² - x = 0

Factor x² - x = x(x-1)

so

x(x-1) = 0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

x=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-1=0

Thus, the solution to the equation is:

x=0,\:x=1

But, it is clear that if we substitute x = 0, the equation becomes undefined because we can not have the denominator to be 0.

In other words, the equation is undefined for x = 0

Thus, x = 0 is an extraneous solutions.

Therefore, option A is correct.

i.e. x = 1, x = 0 is an extraneous solution.
