Mathematics
1 answer:
olga nikolaevna [1]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

\boxed{x=5},x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

To rid the denominators, multiply both sides by (x-3)(x+1).

We get:

6(x+1)-12(x-3)=(x-3)(x+1)

Simplifying, we have:

6x+6-12x+36=x^2-3x+x-3,\\-6x+42=x^2-2x-3,\\x^2+4x-45=0

Solving, we get:

x^2+4x-45=0,\\(x-5)(x+9)=0,\\x=5,x=-9

Therefore, the solution with the greatest value is x=\boxed{5}

A student solved the following problem and made an error: Triangles ABC and DEF. Angles A and F are congruent and measure 135 de
dmitriy555 [2]
We have that
triangle ABC coordinates
A (0,2)  B(2,4)  C(0,0)

triangle DEF coordinates 
D (2,0)  E ( 4,4)  F (4,2)

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

therefore

Line 1<span> Segment AC equals 2. Segment FE equals 2. Segment AC is congruent to segment FE 
</span>so
Segment AC equals 2-------> is correct
Segment FE equals 2-----> is correct
Segment AC is congruent to segment FE------> is correct

<span>Line 2 ∠A ≅ ∠F------> is correct
</span>
<span>Line 3 Length of segment AB. A (0, 2) B (2, 4) d equals square root of quantity x sub 2 minus x sub 1 squared plus quantity y sub 2 minus y sub 1 squared, d equals square root of quantity 0 minus 2 all squared plus quantity 2 minus 4 all squared, d equals square root of negative 2 squared plus negative 2 squared, d equals square root of 4 plus 4, d equals square root of 8 segment AB = 2.83
</span>
find the distance AB
d=√[(4-2)²+(2-0)²]--------> d=√[4+4]-----> d=√8-----> d=2.83
AB=2.83
so
Line 3 is correct

<span>Line 4 Length of segment DE. D (2, 0) E (4, 4) d equals square root of quantity x sub 2 minus x sub 1 squared plus quantity y sub 2 minus y sub squared, d equals square root of quantity 2 minus 4 all squared plus quantity 0 minus 4 all squared, d equals square root of negative 2 squared plus negative 4 squared, d equals square root of 4 plus 16, then d equals square root of 20 segment DE = 4.47
</span>
find the distance DE
d=√[(4-0)²+(4-2)²]--------> d=√[16+4]-----> d=√20-----> d=4.47
DE=4.47
so
Line 4------> is correct

<span>Line 5 segment AB is congruent with segment DE
AB is not congruent with DE
so
Line 5 is not correct

therefore

the answer is
</span><span>the student make the first mistake in line 5</span><span>

</span>

It takes Kay 20 minutes to drive to work traveiling 45 mph. Two minutes after she left home this morning, her husband, Dan, star
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Kay's husband drove at a speed of 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of simple motion.

First of all we must calculate how far Kay traveled to her job, and then estimate the speed with which her husband traveled later.

d=vt

v=45 mph

t= 20 minutes/60 min/hour = 0.333 h (to be consistent with the units)

d= 45mph*0.333h= 15 miles

If Kay took 20 minutes to get to work and her husband left home two minutes after her and they both arrived at the same time, it means he took 18 minutes to travel the same distance.

To calculate the speed with which Kate's husband made the tour, we will use the same initial formula and isolate the value of "V"

d=vt; so

v=\frac{d}{t}

d= 15 miles

t= 18 minutes/60 min/hour = 0.30 h  (to be consistent with the units)

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{15 miles}{0.3 h}=50mph

Kay's husband drove at a speed of 50 mph

Verify seca(1-sina)(seca+tana)=1
beks73 [17]
Seca(1-sina)(seca+tana)=1
Left hand side
=(1-sina) (seca +tana) / cosa
=seca +tana - sinaseca - sinatan / cosa
=seca + tana -tana -(sin^2a/cosa) / cosa
=(1/cosa - sin^2a/cosa) / cosa
= (1-sin^2a / cosa) / cosa
= (1-sin^2a)/ (cos^2a)
=1 (verified)
