Answer:

  (x-8)/(4x-4)  x ≠ 1 or 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Common factors can be cancelled, but cannot be ignored when it comes to determining where the function is undefined.

  \dfrac{x^2-16x+64}{4x^2-36x+32}=\dfrac{(x-8)^2}{4(x-8)(x-1)}=\boxed{\dfrac{x-8}{4x-4}}

The function is undefined for x=1 and x=8, the values of x that make the original denominator zero.

50 Points: Name the similar triangles &amp; Prove the similarity with details
Leno4ka [110]

<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:

  • By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
  • ∠BEC = ∠DFC
  • Sides BE = DF

<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>

   ⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem

      ⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC

         ⇒ the two triangles are similar

Hope that helps!

<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>

  • <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
  • <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

Write the exact value of, or estimate, the side length of a square with an area of 100 square units.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

l =10 units, 9.7 units, 5.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x breadth

Area of a square = l^2

100= l^2

√100 =√l^2

l=10 units

95=l^2

√95 = √l^2

l= 9.7 units

30=l^2

√30=√l^2

l= 5.5 units
