Answer:

x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} y = 30 ← substitute y = 15 into the equation

\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} × 15 = 30 , that is

\frac{1}{5} x - 10 = 30 ( add 10 to both sides )

\frac{1}{5} x = 40 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

x = 200

Consider the function f (x) = StartFraction x squared + 11 x minus 12 Over x minus 1 EndFraction.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

"a removable discontinuity that can be removed by extending the function to include f(1) = 13"

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 11*x  - 12}{x - 1}

Here we have a problem when x = 1, because that makes the denominator to be equal to zero.

For now, let's see what happens to the numerator when x = 1

1^2 + 11*1 - 12 = 12 - 12 = 0

So x = 1 is a root of the numerator.

Let's find the other root of the numerator, here we can use Bhaskara's formula:

x = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{11^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1}  = \frac{-11 \pm 13}{2}

Then the two roots are:

x = (-11 + 13)/2 = 1

x = (-11 - 13)/2 = -12

And remember that a quadratic equation:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

With roots p and k, can be written as:

y = a*(x - p)*(x - k)

Then we can rewrite our numerator as:

1*(x - 1)*(x - (-12)) = (x - 1)*(x + 12)

Replacing that in the equation for f(x), we get:

f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 11*x  - 12}{x - 1} = \frac{(x - 1)*(x + 12)}{(x - 1)}  = \frac{x - 1}{x -1} *(x + 12)

f(x) = x + 12

And, when evaluated in x = 1, we get:

f(1) = 1 + 12 = 13

Then the correct option is:

"a removable discontinuity that can be removed by extending the function to include f(1) = 13"

krok68 [10]
The answer is 35/12 and simplify that and u get 2 11/12.

To show my work apparently since the mods wont stop deleting my answers, here.

 I first found a common denominator and use it to rewrite each fraction. Then I, subtracted the whole numbers and fractions separately.
