If x and y are different numbers from 1-50 what is the greatest possible value for (x+y)/(x-y)

Mathematics
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (x+y)/(x-y) for greatest possible value with the following constraints:

x ≠ y

1 ≤ x ≤ 50

1 ≤ y ≤ 50

To achieve greatest possible value:

Numerator should be as large as possible.

Denominator should be as small as possible without being negative.

x = 50

y = 49

= (50 + 49)/(50 - 49)

= 99/1 = 99

At what value of x does the graph of the following function f(x) have a vertical asymptote? f(x)=1/x+3
ratelena [41]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3 ← equation of vertical asymptote

solve using a system of equations. a pharmacist wants to mix two solutions to obtain 350 cc of a solution that has a 14% concent
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

105 cc of 7% solution

245 cc of 17% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = volume of 7% solution, and y = volume of 17% solution, then:

x + y = 350

0.07x + 0.17y = 0.14(350)

Solve with substitution:

0.07x + 0.17(350 − x) = 0.14(350)

0.07x + 59.5 − 0.17x = 49

10.5 = 0.10x

x = 105

y = 245

Use the figure below to identify angles and segment lengths
slega [8]

So Angle GEN and FED are vertical angles, which means that their angles are congruent. Therefore, Angle FED is 60°

Angle GEN and DEN are a linear pair, which means that they are supplementary angles (add up to 180). To find Angle DEN, we have to form the equation: 60 + DEN = 180

For this, all you have to do is subtract 60 on both sides, and your answer will be: DEN = 120°

The width of a rectangle is 8 inches longer than its length. The perimeter is 104 inches.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is 56 and the length is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

divide the perimeter in half (52 + 52)

then subtract 4 from one of the 52's

you get the answer of 56 and 48

Your answer can be checked by conferming that 56 - 48 = 8 so the width of a rectangle is 8 inches longer than its length.
