5. Solve the equation. 8/x+3 = 1/x+1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Helga [31]4 years ago

Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8               1

---------- = ----------

x+3           x+1

Using cross products

8 (x+1) = 1 (x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x-x+3

7x+8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x +8-8 =3-8

7x = -5

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

Find an nth-degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions. If you are using a graphing utili
Marrrta [24]

We need to find a polynomial function f(x) with degree 3 and zeros 2 and 2i, such that:

f(-1)=30

Since 2i is a zero, -2i is also a zero of this function. Thus, we have:

f(x)=a(x-2)(x-2\imaginaryI)(x+2\imaginaryI)

where a is a constant.

Expanding the expression on the right side, we obtain:

\begin{gathered}  \\ f(x)=a(x-2)\lbrack x²-(2i)²\rbrack \\  \\ f(x)=a(x-2)(x²-4i²),\text{ i^^b2=-1} \\  \\ f(x)=a(x-2)(x²+4) \\  \\ f(x)=a(x³-2x²+4x-8) \end{gathered}

Now, using f(-1) = 30, we obtain:

\begin{gathered} 30=a\lbrack(-1)³-2(-1)²+4(-1)-8\rbrack \\  \\ 30=a(-1-2-4-8) \\  \\ 30=a(-15) \\  \\ a=\frac{30}{-15} \\  \\ a=-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the function is:

Answer

f(x)=-2x^{3}+4x^{2}-8x+16

I need help on the following questions there are 3 files.You may add a file if you prefer.THANKS&gt;
Eddi Din [679]
The first one is 18.5. That was a result of dividing decimals.
Second one is $4.82 because you are trying to find the unit rate. 
Third is 2608.75 dollars earned. You multiply the number of memberships with cost, 152. Now you add that with the monthly earnings, resulting in that answer.
