The only factoring you need to do is already done for you:
<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12 = (<em>x</em> + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3)
What you're asked to do is decompose
(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12)
into partial fractions, i.e. find <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> such that
(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12) = <em>a</em> / (<em>x</em> + 4) + <em>b</em> / (<em>x</em> - 3)
Multiply both sides by <em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12 :
3<em>x</em> - 4 = <em>a</em> (<em>x</em> - 3) + <em>b</em> (<em>x</em> + 4)
3<em>x</em> - 4 = (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + (-3<em>a</em> + 4<em>b</em>)
So we have
<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 3
-3<em>a</em> + 4<em>b</em> = -4
and solving this system gives
<em>a</em> = 16/7 and <em>b</em> = 5/7
so you should submit the numbers in bold:
(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12) = 16 / (7 (<em>x</em> + 4)) + 5 / (7 (<em>x</em> - 3))
Answer:
A ≈ 78.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle is A=πr^2
Since you do not know r (radius) you take the formula for the circumference of a circle (C=2πr), plug in 31.4 for C, and solve for r
Now that you have the radius of 4.99746521, you round it up to 5 and solve the area formula with 5 in as r.
Yes I need points so I’m commenting random stuff lolololo
Answer
