Answer:

(C)72.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an acute triangle in which the longest side measures 30 inches; and the other two sides are congruent.

Consider the attached diagram

AB=BC=x

However to be able to solve for x, we form a right triangle with endpoints A and C.

Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle

Hypotenuse, AC=30 Inches

Using Pythagoras Theorem

30^2=x^2+x^2\\900=2x^2\\x^2=450\\x=\sqrt{450}\\x=21.21$ inches

Therefore, the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter=2x+30

=2(21.21)+30

=42.42+30

=72.4 Inches (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Solve for x: 4 over x plus 4 over quantity x squared minus 9 equals 3 over quantity x minus 3. (2 points) Select one: a. x = -4
Kay [80]

Answer:

<h2>c. x = -4 or x = 9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2-9}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}

Domain:

x\neq0\ \wedge\ x^2-9\neq0\ \wedge\ x-3\neq0\\\\x\neq0\ \wedge\ x\neq\pm3

solution:

\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2-3^2}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}

use <em>(a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²</em>

\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{(x-3)(x+3)}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}

multiply both sides by (x - 3) ≠ 0

\dfrac{4(x-3)}{x}+\dfrac{4(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+3)}=\dfrac{3(x-3)}{x-3}

cancel (x - 3)

\dfrac{4(x-3)}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x+3}=3

subtract \frac{4(x-3)}{x} from both sides

\dfrac{4}{x+3}=3-\dfrac{4(x-3)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{3x}{x}-\dfrac{(4)(x)+(4)(-3)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{3x-\bigg(4x-12\bigg)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{3x-4x-(-12)}{x}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x+3}=\dfrac{-x+12}{x}

cross multiply

(4)(x)=(x+3)(-x+12)

use FOIL

4x=(x)(-x)+(x)(12)+(3)(-x)+(3)(12)\\\\4x=-x^2+12x-3x+36

subtract 4x from both sides

0=-x^2+12x-3x+36-4x

combine like terms

0=-x^2+(12x-3x-4x)+36\\\\0=-x^2+5x+36

change the signs

x^2-5x-36=0\\\\x^2-9x+4x-36=0\\\\x(x-9)+4(x-9)=0\\\\(x-9)(x+4)=0

The product is 0 if one of the factors is 0. Therefore:

x-9=0\ \vee\ x+4=0

x-9=0            <em>add 9 to both sides</em>

x=9\in D

x+4=0          <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

x=-4\in D

What is the value of x
aivan3 [116]
The original value of x was negative, then –x, the opposite-signed version of x, would have to be positive. For instance, if I start with x = –3, then –x = –(–3) = +3, which is positive.
