3/(<em>x</em> ² - 1) = 3/((<em>x</em> - 1) (<em>x</em> + 1)) = <em>a</em>/(<em>x</em> - 1) + <em>b</em>/(<em>x</em> + 1)
==> 3 = <em>a</em> (<em>x</em> + 1) + <em>b</em> (<em>x</em> - 1)
==> 3 = (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>
==> <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 3 and <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = 0
==> <em>a</em> = <em>b</em>
==> <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 2<em>a</em> = 3 ==> <em>a</em> = 2/3 and <em>b</em> = 2/3
So you have
3/(<em>x</em> ² - 1) = 2/(3(<em>x</em> - 1)) + 2/(3(<em>x</em> + 1))
Its slope is -3 so we got
y=-3x+b
and the graph passes through (1,1)
so we got b=4
the equation is y=-3x+4
Hope this will help
The Diameter wouldn’t lie on the base but the height and the radius is half of the base
Since, it is given that the pentagon ABCDE is congruent to pentagon FGHIJ.
By being congruent, the corresponding angles and sides are equal.
Therefore,
,

.
By using 
So, 
Therefore, the measure of angle 1 is 100 degrees.
So, Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/3y - 6 = -11
-1/3y - 6 + 6 = -11 + 6
-1/3y = -5
-1/3y * 3y = -5 * 3y
-1 = -15y
-1 / -15 = -15y / -15y
y = 1/15
