Solve for x. The polygons in each pair are similar.

Mathematics
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x if the polygons in each pair are similar.

As they are similar, the ratio of their sides are equal.

The sides of first polygon are 6,12 and 4.8. On the other hand, the sides of second polygon are (2x-9) and 18.

So,

\dfrac{6}{2x-9}=\dfrac{12}{18}\\\\\dfrac{6}{2x-9}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2x-9}=\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\x=9

So, the value of x  is equal to 9.

What is the horizontal asymptote of the rational function f(x) = 3x / (2x - 1)?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explain

Find the horizontal asymptote for f(x)=(3x^2-1)/(2x-1) :

A rational function will have a horizontal asymptote of y=0 if the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator. It will have a horizontal asymptote of y=a_n/b_n if the degree of the numerator is the same as the degree of the denominator (where a_n,b_n are the leading coefficients of the numerator and denominator respectively when both are in standard form.)

If a rational function has a numerator of greater degree than the denominator, there will be no horizontal asymptote. However, if the degrees are 1 apart, there will be an oblique (slant) asymptote.

For the given function, there is no horizontal asymptote.

We can find the slant asymptote by using long division:

(3x^2-1)/(2x-1)=(2x-1)(3/2x+3/4-(1/4)/(2x-1))

The slant asymptote is y=3/2x+3/4

Can anyone help me on this problem? Please it doesn’t make sense to me...
Sav [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:

120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16

Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...

120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)

0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms

n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller

(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic

The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.

The woman bought 6 items.

_____

Check

When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
