Answer:

x = 0, x = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x / 4 = x² / (x + 2)

x = 4x² / (x + 2)

x * (x + 2) = 4x²

x² + 2x = 4x²

3x² - 2x = 0

x(3x - 2) = 0

x = 0, x = 2/3

Answer:

x=0, 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x/4 = x^2 /(x+2)

Using cross products

4x^2 = x(x+2)

Distribute

4x^2 = x^2 +2x

Subtract x^2 from each side

3x^2 = 2x

Subtract 2x from each side

3x^2 -2x =0

Factor out x

x(3x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=0   3x-2 =0

x=0   3x=2

x=0   x= 2/3

Check

x=0

0/4 = 0^2 /(0+2)

0 = 0

Check

x=2/3

(2/3)/4 = (2/3)^2 /((2/3)+2)

1/6 = (4/9)/ (8/3)

1/6 = 4/9 * 3/8

1/6 = 4/8 *3/9

1/6 = 1/6

Both solutions are valid

How do I do this question folks?
horsena [70]

Answer:

Correct answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Syntax: in piecewise functions such as the one attached, the "if:" section shows the domain, or x-axis values which that function pertains to.

In the graph, you can see that the graph is defined for -3\leq x < 1 (not-including 1 because there is an open hole there, indicating it is not part of the domain), and 2\leq x\leq 4.

Now that we know the domain, we can attach it to the graphs that lie on those domains.

We see that the leftmost line appears to have a positive slope and a negative y-intercept, and that the second line should have a positive y-intercept and a negative slope.

At this point, you can just start crossing off answers that don't meet this criteria.

Cheers!!

Illusion [34]

Answer:

<h2><u>question 1</u></h2>

n^{2} - 20n -96 = 0

use product and sum method

product = -96

sum = -20

numbers needed = ( -24 , 4)

n - 24 = 0

n + 4 = 0

hence <u>n = 24 and n = -4 </u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>Question 2 </u></h2>

<u />x^{2} + 12 x = 48<u />

in the form ax^{2}  +bx +c = 0

= x^{2} +12x - 48

make use of the formula :

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

replace values to make 2 equations :

1.\frac{-12+\sqrt{12^{2} -4*1*-48} }{2*1} = 3.17

2.\frac{-12-\sqrt{12^{2} -4*1*-48} }{2*1} = -15.2

hence <u>x = 3.17 and x = -15.2</u>

<u />

<h2><u>Question 3 </u></h2>

<u />x^{2} -14x+40=0<u />

use product and sum method

product = 40

sum = -14

numbers needed = (-10 , -4)

x - 10 = 0

x - 4 = 0

hence<u> x = 10 and x = 4</u>

<u />

<h2><u>Question 4 </u></h2>

<u />5b^{2} -20b-18 = 7<u />

in the form ax^{2}  +bx +c = 0

this becomes 5b^{2} -20b-18-7

= 5b^{2} -20b-25

can simplify by 5

= b^{2} -4b-5 =0\\

use product and sum method

product = -5

sum = -4

numbers needed (-5 , 1)

b-5 = 0

b + 1 = 0

hence <u>b = 5 and b = -1</u>
