Answer:

x+3*1/x=52/7

7x^2/7x+21/7x=52x/7x

7x^2-52x+21=0

I solve this with the quadratic formula

Solution of ax^2+bx+c=0, a≠0 are :

x1= $\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ and x2= $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

so a=7, b=-52,c=21

x1= $\frac{52+\sqrt{52^2-4*7*21} }{14}$ = (52+46)/14=98/14=7

x2=(52-46)/14=6/14=3/7

PLEASE HELP!! (50 POINTS)

Answer:

Since pair of opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides meets at right angles, the quadrilateral COAT is a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the given quadrilateral is $C(2,0),O(7,0),A(7,2),T(2,2)$

It is sufficient to show that pair of opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular.

The slope of each side can be found using the formula;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope of CO,

$M_{CO}=\frac{0-0}{7-2}=\frac{0}{5} =0$

A line with a zero slope is a horizontal line.

The slope of OA,

$M_{OA}=\frac{2-0}{7-7} =\frac{2}{0}$

This slope is undefined.

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line.

This shows that,the side CO and OA of the quadrilateral meets at right angle.

The slope of AT,

$M_{AT}=\frac{2-2}{7-0}=\frac{0}{5}=0$

This is also a horizontal line.

The slope of TC,

$M_{TC}=\frac{2-0}{2-2} =\frac{2}{0}$

This also a vertical line.

This implies that, side TC and side AT meets at Tat right angles and TC is parallel to OA.

Also AT is parallel to TO.

This shows that COAT is a rectangle.

These rational expressions all have the same denominator write the sum of their numerators over the common denominator 2x+1 + x

ale4655 [162]

So if all same you just simplify The top : 2x+1+x+4 2x+x+1+4 3x+5 The bottom all same just use one .x-3 3x+5/x-3

Use the net to find the surface area of the regular pyramid.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

7 or $7^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Each triangle has the surface area of 1.5, because 1 $*$ 3 = 3 / 2 = 1.5. You divide by two because it is half a rectangle instead of a full one. You multiply by four which would get you 1.5 $*$ 4 = 6. The square in the middle has the surface area of 1 because 1 $*$ 1 = 1. So you would get 7.
