Answer:

x = -6/11

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want the solution to ...

3/x +2/(x+1) = 3/(5x)

Subtracting the term on the right, we get the form f(x) = 0.

$\displaystyle\frac{3}{x}+\frac{2}{x+1}-\frac{3}{5x}=0\\\\\frac{15-3}{5x}+\frac{2}{x+1}=0\\\\\frac{12(x+1)+10x}{5x(x+1)}=0\\\\22x+12=0\quad\text{numerator must be zero}\\\\x+\frac{6}{11}=0\quad\text{divide by 22, simplify}\\\\\boxed{x=-\frac{6}{11}}$

If you really intend 3/x +2/(x+1) = (3/5)x as you have written, the solution is 3 irrational values for x. I find a graphing calculator a convenient way to find them.

Which functions are symmetric with respect to the y axis

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A, B, and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the functions that have x by itself between the absolute value signs (A, B, and D) are symmetric with respect to the y-axis .

Placing a constant outside the absolute value signs moves the function up or down the y-axis but retains the symmetry.

Adding a constant inside the absolute value signs (as in C and E) moves the axis of symmetry to the left or right of the y-axis.

In the diagram, both A and B are symmetric with respect to the y-axis, but C has been shifted three units to the left.

The above question is not complete because it was not written and arranged properly

Complete Question

1) A cone has a diameter of 8 units and a height of 8 units. Its radius is 4 units, and its volume is ______ cubic units.

2) A cylinder with the same height and radius as the cone will have a volume ______ of cubic units.

3) If a sphere has the same radius as the cylinder, its volume is ______the volume of the cylinder. Answer: 1) Volume of the cone = 134.04cubic units

2)Volume of the cylinder = 402.12cubic units

3) Volume of the sphere= 268.08 cubic units. Hence, if a sphere has the same radius as the cylinder, its volume is 2/3 times the volume of the cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A cone has a diameter of 8 units and a height of 8 units. Its radius is 4 units, and its volume is ______ cubic units.

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

h = 8 units

r = 4 units

Volume = 1/3 × π × 4² × 8

134.04cubic units

2) A cylinder with the same height and radius as the cone will have a volume ______ of cubic units.

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Height and radius is the same as that of the cones hence,

h = 8 units

r = 4 units

= π × 4² × 8

= 402.12cubic units.

3) If a sphere has the same radius as the cylinder, its volume is ______the volume of the cylinder.

Volume of a Sphere = 4/3πr³

r = radius of the cylinder = 4 units

Volume of a Sphere = 4/3 × π × 4³

= 268.08 cubic units.

From the above question, we are asked to compare the volume of the sphere with the volume of the cylinder

Volume of the sphere : Volume of the cylinder

268.08 cubic units : 402.12 cubic units

268.08/402.12 = 2/3

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 2/3 times the volume of the cylinder

Kirstin knows that the initial fee for adopting a dog from the animal shelter is $75. This fee needs to be considered when calcu

irina [24]

Answer:

The function is represented by $C(d) = 75\,USD + r\cdot d$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we must observe that total cost of the dog ( $C(d)$ ) is the sum of two components: i) Fixed cost ( $C_{f}$ ) - Adoption fee, ii) Variable cost ( $C_{v}$ ) - Daily cost of feeding the dog, both measured in US dollars.
