QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}$

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.$

This implies
$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.$

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

We multiply through by LCM of
$(x-4)(x - 2)$

$(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2$

We expand to get,

$x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2$

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0$

We split the middle term,

${x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0$

$x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0$

$(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4$

But
$x = 4$
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

$\therefore \: x = - 1$
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

$\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1$

We add x to both sides,

$\sqrt{x+11} =x-1$

We square both sides,

$x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}$

We expand to get,

$x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1$

This implies,

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

$x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0$

$x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5$

But
$x = - 2$
is an extraneous solution

$\therefore \: x = 5$

Alabama Instruments Company has set up a production line to manufacture a new calculator. The rate of production of these calcul

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The number of calculators is 4871

Step-by-step explanation:

If we integrate dx/dt we get x, which is the number of calculators. To find the number of calculators between the beginning of third week to the end of fourth week (the beginning of fifth week), this integration must be evaluated at t between 3 and 5.

$x=\int\limits^5_3 {\frac{dx}{dt}} \, dt =\int\limits^5_3 {5000(1-\frac{100}{(t+10)^2})} \, dt$

the result of the integration is:

$x=5000(t+\frac{100}{t+10})$ to be evaluated between 3 and 5, which is:

$x=5000(5+\frac{100}{5+10})-5000(3+\frac{100}{3+10})=\frac{190000}{39}=4871.8$

Lowest common multiple of 12,18,56

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

56 = 2 ×2 × 2 × 7

Now

Common factor = 2

Remaining factor = 2 × 3 × 2 × 3 × 7

LCM = RF × CF

= 504

hence the lCM of 12 , 18 and 56 is 504...

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1/2*6(12+x)=12*x

1/2*(72+6)=12x

36+3x=12x

36=9x

4=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Check that x=4

1/2*6(4+12)=12*4

1/2*(24+72)=48

1/2(96)=48

48=48

So x=4 is the correct answer
