QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.

This implies
\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}

We multiply through by LCM of
(x-4)(x - 2)

(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2

We expand to get,

x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

{x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0

We split the middle term,

{x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0

We factor to get,

{x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0

x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0

(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0

x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0

x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4

But
x = 4
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

\therefore \: x = - 1
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1

We add x to both sides,

\sqrt{x+11} =x-1

We square both sides,

x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}

We expand to get,

x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1

This implies,

{x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

{x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0

x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0

(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0

x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0

x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5

But
x = - 2
is an extraneous solution

\therefore \: x = 5

Find the number of letters from the word MAXIMUM where two consonants cannot occur. (Permutation)​
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

4!

Step-by-step explanation:

In word MAXIMUM, consonants are M & X. According to the question itself, consonants should not occur together.

So, we have to put vowels at each even position; only then the condition will be satisfied.

We can put this in 3! ways (permutations of A, I & U).  

For odd positions we can put 3-M's & a X. Total ways is 4!/3!   (as repetitions of M).

Hence, the answer is 4!/3! x 3! = 24 ways.  

24=4!.

the slide at the playground has a height of 6 feet.The base of the slide measured on the ground is 8 feet.what is the length of
NemiM [27]
The formula for finding the length is
{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}
All we have to do is plug in the numbers.

{6}^{2}  +  {8}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}
36 + 64 = 100

Since 100 =
{c}^{2}
we have to find the square root.

\sqrt{100}  = 10

The length of the slide is 10 feet.
