Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> new numbers are x+4 and x-1</h3>

so, x+4/x-1=11/16

16x+64=11x-11

16x-11x=-11-64

5x=-75

x = -15

also, x+1 = -14

x =first number

x+1 = second number

(x) + 4 = x + 4 = 1 ^ new number [first number + 4]

(x + 1) -2 = x - 1 = 2 ^ new number [second number - 2]

\frac{x+4}{x-1}=\frac{11}{16}

now, we resolve it:

\frac{16(x+4)-11(x-1)}{16(x-1)}=0

\frac{16x+64-11x+11}{16x-16}=0

\frac{5x+75}{16x-16}=0

we eliminate the denominator and do c.e.: 16x - 16 ≠ 0; 16x ≠ 16; x ≠ 1

5x + 75 = 0

x = - 15

so x + 1 = - 14

But what you ask are two <u>positive</u> numbers! Are you sure that you write correctly the question? Thank you

3.) (4 x 9 - 21) \ 3+6^2
nignag [31]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Expression:

(4 x 9 - 21) \ 3+6^2

Multiply 4 and 9 to get 36.

36 - 21 / 3 + 6^2

Subtract 21 from 36 to get 15.

15/3 + 6^2

Divide 15 by 3 to get 5.

5+6^2

Calculate 6 to the power of 2 and get 36.

5+36

Add 5 and 36 to get 41.

Does anyone know this?
Neko [114]

"c" is the hypotenuse of the largest triangle, and "a" is that triangle's shortest side. Thus the ratio is

... (longest side)/(shortest side)


Since all the triangles in the figure are similar, to complete the proportion, you need to recognize the triangle that "a" is the longest side of, then find the shortest side of that triangle.


"a" is the longest side (hypotenuse) of the smallest triangle. The shortest side of that triangle is "r". So, your proportion is ...

... c/a = a/r


The appropriate choice is the 2nd one, ...

... r

A. Plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points.
labwork [276]

Answer:

  a) see the plots below

  b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)

  c) the function values are never equal

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a graph of the two function values is attached

__

b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).

__

c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.

In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
