Answer:

x=-9/7 =-1.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 7x+9 = 0

Then Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation :

7x = -9

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

x = -9/7

= -1.286

Solve: x+2/x-4<0<br> O _4 O -2 -2 -4

sammy [17]

Answer:

-2<x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

For $\frac{x+2}{x-4} < 0$ , note that either the numerator or denominator is positive and the other must be negative for this inequality to be satisfied.

This means x+2>0 and x-4<0 or x+2<0 and x-4>0.

Lets look at the first scenario (x+2>0 and x-4<0)

x+2>0 and x-4<0

x>-2 and x<4

This means that -2<x<4.

Let’s look at the other scenario (x+2<0 and x-4>0)

x+2<0 and x-4>0

x<-2 and x>4

This means that x must be <-2 and >4 simualtaneously, which is impossible.

Therefore, this only occurs when -2<x<4.

I hope this helps! :)

The composite figure shown has a surface area of 844 square centimeters.

kolezko [41]

Given the surface area of the composite figure, the height of the rectangular prism is approximately 8 centimeters.

<h3>What is the height of the rectangular prism?</h3>

First we calculate the surface area of the rectangular pyramid;

S.A = lw + (1/2)w√(4h²+l²) + (1/2)l√(4h²+w²)

Given that;

w = 10cm
l = 18cm
h = 12cm

S.A = lw + (1/2)w√(4h²+l²) + (1/2)l√(4h²+w²)

S.A = (18cm×10cm) + (1/2)10cm√(4(12cm)²+18cm²) + (1/2)18cm√(4(12cm)²+(10cm)²)

S.A = (180cm²) + 5cm√(576cm² + 324cm²) + 9cm√(576² + 100cm²)

S.A = (180cm²) + 5cm(30cm) + 9cm(26cm)

S.A = 180cm² + 150cm² + 234cm²

S.A = 564cm²

Now, surface Area of the rectangular prism will be;

= Area of composite figure - surface area of the rectangular pyramid

= 1844cm² - 564cm²

= 1280cm²

Now surface area of rectangular prism is expressed as;

SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw

w = 10cm
l = 18cm
h = x

SA=2lw + 2lh + 2hw

SA - 2lw = h( 2l + 2w)

h = (SA - 2lw) / ( 2l + 2w)

h = (1280cm² - ( 2×18cm×10cm)) / ( 2×18cm + 2×10cm)

h = (1280cm² - 360cm²) / ( 36cm + 20cm)

h = 1020cm² / 56cm

h = 8cm

Given the surface area of the composite figure, the height of the rectangular prism is approximately 8 centimeters.
