We want to solve
\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{2x+1}

Subtract 2/(2x+1) from each side.
\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{2}{2x+1y} - \frac{1}{4} = 0

Add 1/4 to each side, and simplify the left side.
\frac{x-2}{2x+1} = \frac{1}{4}

Cross multiply.
4(x - 2) = 1(2x + 1)
4x - 8 = 2x + 1

Simplify and solve for x.
4x - 2x = 1 + 8
2x = 9
x = 9/2   or x = 4 1/2.

Answer:  x =  \frac{9}{2} \,\, or \,\, x = 4 \frac{1}{2}

Use the figure to determine the intersection of planes EAB and EFG
vredina [299]

Answer:

Option (3). EF

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Plane defined by EAB can be represented by the face EABF of the square prism also.

Similarly, plane EFG can be represented by the face EFGH of the prism.

Now these sides EABF and EFGH are joining each other at the edge EF of the cuboid.

Therefore, intersection of the given planes is EF.

Option (3) will be the answer.

Can a cubic equation have 3 complex roots? 3 real roots? ...?
trasher [3.6K]
No, a cubic equation can not have three complex roots. This is because it turns twice and one end goes to positive infinity and one end goes to negative infinity. Thus, one of these MUST cross the x-axis at some point, meaning y = 0 and a real root exists.

Yes, a cubic equation can have three real roots if it cuts the x-axis three times.
