12/(x+1) = 26.4/(3x-1)

36x -12 = 26.4x + 12

9.6x = 38.4

x = 4

What is the maximum area for a rectangle whose perimeter is 48 meters?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

12m²

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle, with length L and width W,

the perimeter is given as

Perimeter,

P = (2 x Length)  + (2 x Width)

P = 2L + 2W

It is given that the perimeter is 48, hence

48 = 2L + 2W   (divide both sides by 2)

24 = L + W

or

L = 24 - W -----> eq 1

Also realize that the Area of a Rectangle is given by

A = L x W  -----> eq 2

Substituting eq 1 into eq 2,

A = (24 - W) x W

A = -W² + 24W

Recall that for a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the maxima or minima is given by y(max) =  -b/2a

In this case, b = 24 and a = -1

-b/2a = -24/[ 2(-1) ] = 12

Hence for A to be maximum A(max) = 12m² (Answer)

Find the domain of the rational expression: x-3/2x-8
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x\neq4\to x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{4\}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x-3}{2x-8}

We know: the denominator must be different than 0.

Therefore

2x-8\neq0        <em>add 8 to both sides</em>

2x-8+8\neq0+8

2x\neq8             <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\x\neq4

Henry's patio is in the shape of a rectangle. He said the perimeter of the patio is 48 feet . He knows that one side is 9 feet w
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

2 sides of the patio are 9ft and another 2 sides are 15ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to know thata rectangle has 4 sides and 2 of them are equal to each other

This is the formula to calculate perimeter

p = perimeter 48 ft

a = side a = 9 ft

b = side b

p = 2a + 2b

we replace the known values

48ft = 2*9ft + 2b

48ft = 18ft + 2b

48ft - 18ft = 2b

30 / 2 = b

15 = b

2 sides of the patio are 9ft and another 2 sides are 15ft

Find the domain of the function f (x) = 2/x-4 + 1/x+2
Andreas93 [3]

As written, the denominator in both fractions is x, so the only restriction on the domain is ... x ≠ 0.

_____

We suspect you intend ...

... f(x) = 2/(x-4) +1/(x+2)

which is undefined when x = 4 or x = -2.

The domain is all real numbers except -2 and 4.
