Kelly tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation one over two plus three over x equals three over four b

ecomes unsolvable. Kelly explains, "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero." Demonstrate to Kelly how the equation is still solvable and explain your reasoning.

1/2 + 3/x = 3/4
3/x = 3/4 - 1/2
3/x = 3/4 - 2/4
3/x = 1/4....this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(1)(x) = (3)(4)
x = 12

check..
1/2 + 3/12 = 3/4
6/12 + 3/12 = 3/4
9/12 = 3/4
3/4 = 3/4 (correct)

so x = 12

Answer:

we are given a variable equation as:

\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3}{4}

we can take variable on one side and constant terms on the other to get

\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3-1\times 2}{4}\\\\\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{3-2}{4}\\\\\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\x=12

Hence on solving the following variable equation we get that x=12.

To the nearest hundredth, what is the value of x? <br> 36.08<br> 41.51<br> 47.81<br> 72.88
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the law of sines, we can make a proportion.

But first, we'll need to solve for the unknown angle.

We add up the two known angles and subtract that by 180.

90 + 41 = 131

180 - 131 = 49

So the unknown angles is 49.

Then, we can use the law of sines.

Make the equation.

sin(90)/55 = sin(49)/x

Simplify this using a calculator and you get around 41.51 or option B.

Jason is traveling by car from his home to his office. He has gone 3.5 miles so far. From this point on, he can cover 100 miles
natka813 [3]

Answer:

y = 50x + 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance already covered = 3.5 miles

100 miles covered in 2 hour

FInd;

Equation of given scenario

Computation:

Assume;

Total miles covered = y

Total number of hours = x

Speed of car = 100 / 2

Speed of car = 50 miles per hour

Total miles covered = Distance already covered + [Speed of car][Total number of hours]

y = 3.5 + [50][x]

y = 50x + 3.5

a. Use the mean value theorem. 16 falls between 12 and 20, so

v'(16)\approx\dfrac{v(20)-v(12)}{20-12}=\dfrac{240-200}8=5

(Don't forget your units - 5 m/min^2)

b. v(t) gives the Johanna's velocity at time t. The magnitude of her velocity, or speed, is |v(t)|. Integrating this would tell us the total distance she has traveled whilst jogging.

The Riemann sum approximates the integral as

\displaystyle\int_0^{40}|v(t)|\,\mathrm dt=12\cdot200+8\cdot240+4\cdot220+16\cdot150=7600

If you're not sure how this is derived: we're given 5 sample points, so we can cut the interval [0, 40] into 4 subintervals. The lengths of each subinterval are 12, 8, 4, and 16 (the distances between each sample point), and the height of the rectangle approximating the area under the plot of |v(t)| is determined by the value of v(t) at each sample point, 200, 240, |-220| = 220, and 150.

c. Bob's velocity is given by B(t), so his acceleration is given by B'(t). We have

B'(t)=3t^2-12t

and at t=5 his acceleration is B'(5)=15 m/min^2.

d. Bob's average velocity over [0, 10] is given by the difference quotient,

\dfrac{B(10)-B(0)}{10-0}=\dfrac{700-300}{10}=40 m/min
