Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have two sides of a parallelogram in the ratio 5:4, then the other two sides must also be in the same ratio.

If the perimeter is 54, we can create the following equation regarding the length of each side

$5x+4x+5x+4x=54\\\\18x=54\\\\x=3$

As our value for x is 3, and we know that the value for the larger side is 5x, we can simply plug in x to get the length of the larger side

$5x\\\\5(3)\\\\15$

What is the discontinuity and zero of the function f(x) = 3x^2 + x - 4 / x-1

Ans: Option (1) <span>Discontinuity at (1, 7), zero at ( negative four thirds , 0)
</span>
Explanation:
Given function:
$f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + x - 4}{x-1}$

Now if we plug in the x = 1, we would have discontinuity as function goes to infinity.

Now for f(1):
$f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + x - 4}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + 4x - 3x - 4}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{x(3x+4)-1(3x+4)}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{(x-1)(3x+4)}{(x-1)} \\ f(x) = 3x+4 \\ now ~ insert ~ x=1: \\ f(1) = 3(1) + 4 = 7 \\ It~means~discontinuity~at~(1,7).\\ Now~let~us~find~zeros.\\ put~ f(x) = 3x+4 ~ equals~ to ~zero. \\ =\ \textgreater \ ~3x+4 = 0 \\ =\ \textgreater \ ~ x = \frac{-4}{3} \\ Hence~zeros=( \frac{-4}{3}, 0)$
