Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = $\frac{1}{x}$ - $\frac{1}{y}$ = $\frac{y-x}{xy}$ ← as a single fraction

Thus

$\frac{1}{a}$ = $\frac{1}{\frac{y-x}{xy} }$ = $\frac{xy}{y-x}$ → A

Answer the following 4 questions CORRECTLY I will know if this is wrong. I WILL REPORT ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS!

Shkiper50 [21]

1. A) 5 (It would be B. because it does equal 4.09 but it has to be 5 because it is the greatest integer in all of them)

2. D) 10 (Just like 1. it would be B. also BUT 10 is the greatest integer you can have out of all of them)

3. A) 6 (Just like the other 2 problems at the top^ it would be C. if not for the fact it has a higher number.)

4. A) A value we can put in place of a variable (such as x) that makes the equation true.

Solving Rational Functions Hello I'm posting again because I really need help on this any help is appreciated!!

Answer:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$\frac{3}{x + 4} - \frac{1}{x + 3} = \frac{x + 9}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

To solve this we need to remove the denominators.

Then we can first multiply both sides by (x + 4) to get:

$\frac{3*(x + 4)}{x + 4} - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3 - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x + 3)

$3*(x + 3) - \frac{(x + 4)*(x+3)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3*(x + 3) - (x + 4) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$(2*x + 5) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 7*x + 12)

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}*(x^2 + 7x + 12)$

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = (x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)$

Now we need to solve this:

we will get

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = (x^2 + 13*x + 3)*(x + 3)$

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9$

Then we get:

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 - ( x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9) = 0$

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = 0$

So now we only need to solve this.

We can see that the constant is 51.

Then one root will be a factor of 51.

The factors of -51 are:

-3 and -17

Let's try -3

p( -3) = (-3)^3 + 3*(-3)^2 + +17*(-3) + 51 = 0

Then x = -3 is one solution of the equation.

But if we look at the original equation, x = -3 will lead to a zero in one denominator, then this solution can be ignored.

This means that we can take a factor (x + 3) out, so we can rewrite our equation as:

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = (x + 3)*(x^2 + 17) = 0$

The other two solutions are when the other term is equal to zero.

Then the other two solutions are given by:

x = ±√17

And neither of these have problems in the denominators, so we can conclude that the solutions are:

x = √17 and x = -√17

VikaD [51]

1598 cm square is the area of the container.

According to the statement

we have given that the container is rectangular prism

And Length of rectangular prism is 34cm

Width of rectangular prism is 17 cm

Height of rectangular prism is 20 cm

we use the below written formula to find the surface area

Surface area formula A=(wl+hl+hw)

To find the surface area of the container.

Substitute the values of Length, width and height in the formula then

A=(wl+hl+hw)

A=((17)(34)+(20)(34)+(20)(17))

After solving the values

A=(578+680+340)

A= 1598

So, 1598 cm square is the area of the container.
