6-5 solving rational equations 8/x+3=1/x+1

Mathematics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)

Using cross products

8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x+3-x

7x +8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x+8-8 = 3-8

7x = -5

Divide by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

Hi boys can you help me pls!!!!!!!
goblinko [34]

Answer: OPTION A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following function:

h(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x^2+\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

You know that it represents the the height of the ball (in meters) when it is a distance "x" meters away from Rowan.

Since it is a Quadratic function its graph is parabola.

So, the maximum point of the graph modeling the height of the ball is the Vertex of the parabola.

You can find the x-coordinate of the Vertex with this formula:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

In this case:

a=-\frac{1}{4}\\\\b=\frac{1}{2}

Then, substituting values, you get:

x=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{(2)(-\frac{1}{4}))}\\\\x=1

Finally, substitute the value of "x" into the function in order to get the y-coordinate of the Vertex:

h(1)=y=-\frac{1}{4}(1)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1)+\frac{1}{2}\\\\y=0.75

Therefore, you can conclude that:

<em> The maximum height of the ball is 0.75 of a meter, which occurs when it is approximately 1 meter away from Rowan.</em>
