By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
Answer: Length = 28 feet and width = 9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = width of the wall.
Then, Length of the wall = 10+2x
Since , Area of rectangle = length x width
Then, as per given,
Since width cannot be negative , so x = 9
So width = 9 feet and length = 10+2(9)=10+18 = 28 feet
Hence, length is 28 feet and width is 9 feet of the wall of the barn.
