7 0

Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1

Consider the following set of equations, where s, s0, x and r have units of length, t has units of time, v has units of velocity

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation to be dimensionally correct the dimension of quantities on both sides of equation must be same.

Also, two physically quantities can only be added or subtracted only when their dimension are same.

here all option are dimensionally correct except the 5th option where

dimension of t= [T] whereas dimension of a/v is $\frac{LT^{-2}}{LT^{-1}}$

= T^{-1}

since, the dimension of quantities on either sides of equation are not the same the equation is dimensionally is incorrect.

Answer:

52.9 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangular indentation has an area of 100 in.² and the base and height of this traingle are represented by expressions 3x and x+3 respectively . We need to find out the perimeter to the nearest tenth.

As we know that the area of triangle is ,

$\rm\longrightarrow Area_{\triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}(base)(height)$

Substituting the respective values,

$\rm\longrightarrow 100\ =\dfrac{1}{2}(x+3)(3x)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 2(100) = 3x(x+3)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow200 = 3x^2+9x\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 3x^2+9x-200=0$

On using the Quadratic formula , we have;

$\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(3)(-200)}}{2(3)} \\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{81+1200}}{6}\\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{1281}}{6}$
