Solve the equation x+3/x-4 = x-5/x+4

Mathematics

Serga [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x-4\neq0\ \wedge\ x+4\neq0\\\\x\neq4\ \wedge\ x\neq-4\\\\D:x\in\mathbb{R}-\{-4,\ 4\}

\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x+3)(x+4)=(x-4)(x-5)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x)(x)+(x)(4)+(3)(x)+(3)(4)=(x)(x)+(x)(-5)+(-4)(x)+(-4)(-5)\\\\x^2+4x+3x+12=x^2-5x-4x+20\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\x^2+(4x+3x)+12=x^2+(-5x-4x)+20\\\\x^2+7x+12=x^2-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7x+12=-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\7x=-9x+8\qquad\text{add}\ 9x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\16x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:8}{16:8}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\in D

What is the discriminant of this equation?<br> 3x2 + 8x = 0
Likurg_2 [28]
If the 2 is an exponent, it should be marked as such.
“3x2” means 3x⋅2
“3x^2” means 3x²

3x²+8x = 0
Discriminant = 8²-4(3)(0) = 64

Given: △ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8 Find: Perimeter of △ABC, Area of △ABC
jarptica [38.1K]

We are given

△ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8

Firstly, we will find all angles and sides

Calculation of angle B:

we know that sum of all angles is 180

m∠A+ m∠B+m∠C=180

we can plug values

60°+ m∠B+45°=180

m∠B=75°

Calculation of BC:

we can use law of sines

\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}

now, we can plug values

\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{BC}{sin(60)}

BC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(60)

BC=9.798

Calculation of AC:

\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}

now, we can plug values

\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{AC}{sin(75)}

AC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(75)

AC=10.928

Perimeter:

p=AB+BC+AC

we can plug values

p=10.928+8+9.798

p=28.726

Area:

we can use formula

A=\frac{1}{2}AB \times AC \times sin(A)

now, we can plug values

A=\frac{1}{2}8 \times 10.928 \times sin(60)

A=37.85570...............Answer
