Top half:
D (x-2, y+3) E (x-3, y(+\-) 0) F (x+1, y-2)
P (x+1, y+2) Q (x+3, y+4) R (x+5, y+2)
The answer is 3/16 because half of 3/8 is 3/16
A = (1/2)bh
64 = (1/2)(8)h
16 = h
The height is 16 inches
Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
