Find x: 3/(x-4)(x-7) + 6/(x-7)(x-13) + 15/(x-13)(x-28) - 1/x-28 = -1/20

Novay_Z [31]

The value of x in the polynomial fraction 3/((x-4)•(x-7)) + 6/((x-7)•(x-13)) + 15/((x-13)•(x-28)) - 1/(x-28) = -1/20 is x = 24

<h3>How can the polynomial with fractions be simplified to find x?</h3>

The given equation is presented as follows;

$\frac{3}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7) } + \frac{6}{(x - 7) \cdot (x - 13) } + +\frac{15}{(x - 13) \cdot (x - 28) } - \frac{1}{(x - 28) } = - \frac{1}{20}$

Factoring the common denominator, we have;

$\frac{3\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28) + 6 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 28) + 15 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 7) - (x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)} + = - \frac{1}{20}$

Simplifying the numerator of the right hand side using a graphing calculator, we get;

By expanding and collecting, the terms of the numerator gives;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548)

Given that the terms of the numerator have several factors in common, we get;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548) = -(x-7)•(x-28)•(x-13)

Which gives;

$\frac{-(x - 7) \cdot(x - 28)\cdot (x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)} + = - \frac{1}{20}$

Which gives;

$\frac{-1}{(x - 4)} + = - \frac{1}{20}$

x - 4 = 20

Therefore;

x = 20 + 4 = 24

Rama09 [41]

Question:

Britney throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 27 ft/s from a platform that is 10 ft above the ground. Use the formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height. How long will it take for the object to hit the ground?

1s 2s 3s 4s

Answer:

It takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground

Solution:

The given equation is:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t+h_0$

Initial velocity = 27 feet/sec

$h_0 = 10\ feet$

Therefore,

$h(t) = -16t^2 +27t+10$

At the point the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

$-16t^2 +27t+10 = 0\\\\16t^2-27t-10=0$

Solve by quadratic formula,

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=16,\:b=-27,\:c=-10:\quad \\\\t=\frac{-\left(-27\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-27\right)^2-4\cdot \:16\left(-10\right)}}{2\cdot \:16}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm \sqrt{1369}}{32}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm 37}{32}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\t = \frac{27+37}{32}\\\\t = \frac{64}{32}\\\\t = 2\\\\And\\\\t = \frac{27-37}{32}\\\\t = -0.3125$

Ignore, negative value

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground
