Answer:
I'm not 100% sure I'm right but I think x = -1
because it says "f(x)" and then it says"Find f(-1)" so that is why I think x = -1
Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
Answer: 253.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2.05 + 0.90m = 5.65
0.90m = 5.65 - 2.05
0.90m = 3.60
m = 3.60 / 0.90
m = 4 <=== the taxi trip was 4 miles
2/3-1/3= 1/3
So Shane grew 1/3 of an inch more hair than his brother.
