What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?

bonufazy [111]

Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.

From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .

also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram , but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".

Mid point of AC= $(\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})$

Mid point of BD= $(\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})$

Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

i.e. diagonals bisect each other.

That means ABCD is a parallelogram.

Solving Rational Functions Hello I'm posting again because I really need help on this any help is appreciated!!

Answer:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$\frac{3}{x + 4} - \frac{1}{x + 3} = \frac{x + 9}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

To solve this we need to remove the denominators.

Then we can first multiply both sides by (x + 4) to get:

$\frac{3*(x + 4)}{x + 4} - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3 - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x + 3)

$3*(x + 3) - \frac{(x + 4)*(x+3)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3*(x + 3) - (x + 4) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$(2*x + 5) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 7*x + 12)

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}*(x^2 + 7x + 12)$

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = (x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)$

Now we need to solve this:

we will get

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = (x^2 + 13*x + 3)*(x + 3)$

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9$

Then we get:

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 - ( x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9) = 0$

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = 0$

So now we only need to solve this.

We can see that the constant is 51.

Then one root will be a factor of 51.

The factors of -51 are:

-3 and -17

Let's try -3

p( -3) = (-3)^3 + 3*(-3)^2 + +17*(-3) + 51 = 0

Then x = -3 is one solution of the equation.

But if we look at the original equation, x = -3 will lead to a zero in one denominator, then this solution can be ignored.

This means that we can take a factor (x + 3) out, so we can rewrite our equation as:

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = (x + 3)*(x^2 + 17) = 0$

The other two solutions are when the other term is equal to zero.

Then the other two solutions are given by:

x = ±√17

And neither of these have problems in the denominators, so we can conclude that the solutions are:

x = √17 and x = -√17
