Answer:

k = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

9/ (2k-3) = 4/(k+1)

Using cross products

9 * (k+1) = 4(2k-3)

Distribute

9k+9 = 8k -12

Subtract 8k from each side

9k-8k +9 = 8k-8k-12

k+9 = -12

Subtract 9 from each side

k+9-9 = -12-9

k = -21

Answer:

\huge\boxed{k=21}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{9}{2k-3}=\dfrac{4}{k+1}

First step:

Find domain.

We know: the denominator must be different than 0.

Therefore we have:

2k-3\neq0\ \wedge\ k+1

2k-3\neq0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\2k\neq3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{k\neq1.5}\\\\k+1\neq0\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\boxed{k\neq-1}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{-1;\ 1.5\}

Second step:

Solve for k.

\dfrac{9}{2k-3}=\dfrac{4}{k+1}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\9(k+1)=4(2k-3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}:\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(9)(k)+(9)(1)=(4)(2k)-(4)(3)\\\\9k+9=8k-12\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}\\\\9k=8k-21\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8k\ \text{from both sides}\\\\\boxed{k=21}\in\text{Domain}

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are represented by 3 consecutive even integers. if the perimeter of the triangle is 72 fe
iris [78.8K]
P = a + b + c
P = 72
a = x
b = x + 2
c = x + 4

72 = x + x + 2 + x + 4
72 = 3x + 6
72 - 6 = 3x
66 = 3x
66/3 = x
22 = x

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26

the sides of ur triangle are : 22,24,26 <==

Answer:

<h2>v=(13,-3)</h2>

solution,

- 2 =  \frac{x - 17}{2}  \:  \\  - 2 \times 2 = x - 17 \\  - 4 = x - 17 \\  - x =  - 17 + 4 \\  - x =  - 13 \\ x = 13 \\  \\ 7 =  \frac{y + 17}{2}  \\ 14 = y + 17 \\  - y = 17 - 14 \\  - y = 3 \\ y =  - 3

Therefore,

V=(13,-3)

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

The graph of a quadratic function passes through the points (-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2). Write the quadratic function in general f
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 points and need to find ax2 + bx + c = y. First use (0,2). x is zero, so y = 2 = c. You have c. Now put (-1,0) into the equation. 0 = 1a -b + 2. Rearrange so you get b = a + 2. Now use the other point. a*(-2 squared) + b*(-2) + 2 = 0. Simplify and substitute (a + 2) for b and you will have the answer.
