Answer:

<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}

\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}

And its value is 180:

\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180

Multiplying by 2:

(h+9)h=360

Operating:

h^2+9h-360=0

Factoring:

(h-15)(h+24)=0

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.

Answer:

r^{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} } = a^{(m-n)} , then

\frac{r^{9} }{r^{3} } = r^{(9-3)} = r^{6}

Find (f/g) (x) and state the domain restriction. f (x) = 6x - 3 and g(x) = 12x^2 - 6x
Rufina [12.5K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (f/g)(x) = 1/(2x)

  x ≠ 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

  (f/g)(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{6x-3}{12x^2-6x}=\dfrac{6x-3}{2x(6x-3)}\\\\\boxed{(f/g)(x)=\dfrac{1}{2x}}\quad x\ne\dfrac{1}{2}

The domain restriction x ≠ 1/2 comes from the requirement to prevent the denominator factor 6x-3 from being zero.

Solve the following equation:<br> 9n² - n - 2/3 = 0
KIM [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9n² - n - \frac{2}{3} = 0 ← multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

27n² - 3n - 2 = 0 ← factoring

Consider the factors of the product of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term

product = 27 × - 2 = - 54 and sum = - 3

The factors are - 9 and + 6

Use these factors to split the n- term

27n² - 9n + 6n - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

9n(3n - 1) + 2(3n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (3n - 1) from each term

(3n - 1)(9n + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{3}

9n + 2 = 0 ⇒ 9n = - 2 ⇒ n = - \frac{2}{9}
