By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
Answer:
Given equation of the line,
If x = 0,
Thus, the line intercepts y-axis at (0,-2)
If y = 0,
Thus, the line intercepts x-axis at (3.5,0)
By joining these two points in the graph,
We will get the graph of the given line ( shown below )
Answer:
23

Answer:
a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide . if both its dimensions are increased 4 m , its area is increaed by 88 m squared make a sketch and find its original dimensions of the original rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l = the original length of the original rectangle
Let w = the original width of the original rectangle
From the description of the problem, we can construct the following two equations
l=2*w (Equation #1)
(l+4)*(w+4)=l*w+88 (Equation #2)
Substitute equation #1 into equation #2
(2w+4)*(w+4)=(2w*w)+88
2w^2+4w+8w+16=2w^2+88
collect like terms on the same side of the equation
2w^2+2w^2 +12w+16-88=0
4w^2+12w-72=0
Since 4 is afactor of each term, divide both sides of the equation by 4
w^2+3w-18=0
The quadratic equation can be factored into (w+6)*(w-3)=0
Therefore w=-6 or w=3
w=-6 can be rejected because the length of a rectangle can't be negative so
w=3 and from equation #1 l=2*w=2*3=6
I hope that this helps. The difficult part of the problem probably was to construct equation #1 and to factor the equation after performing all of the arithmetic operations.
