Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 4x
b = x + 2
c = 3x + 4
Solution
(4x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (3x + 4)^3 Remove all the brackets.
16x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16 Collect like terms on the left
17x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16 Subtract the terms on the right
8x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
This factors into
(4x - 12)(2x + 1)
There are 2 answers
4x - 12 = 0
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
or
2x + 1 = 0
2x = - 1
x = - 1/2
You have to look at x = -1/2 carefully. The problem is that 4x = 4*(-1/2) = - 2 which is not possible in Euclidean Geometry.
So the only answer is x = 3
A. 4.25 hrs.....4 25/100 reduces to 4 1/4.......1/4(60) = 60/4 = 15 minutes
so 4.25 hrs = 4 hrs and 15 minutes
b. 8.5 hrs.....8 5/10 reduces to 8 1/2.....1/2(60) = 60/2 = 30 minutes
so 8.5 hrs = 8 hrs and 30 minutes
c. 6.2 hrs.....6 2/10 reduces to 6 1/5.....1/5(60) = 60/5 = 12 minutes
so 6.2 hrs = 6 hrs and 12 minutes
d. 10.8 hrs.....10 8/10 reduces to 10 4/5.....4/5(60) = 240/5 = 48 minutes
so 10.8 hrs = 10 hrs and 48 minutes
1/3 is the same as 3/9. To solve this, subtract 3/9 from 7/9.
Your answer is
Answer:
b) (0,infinity)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can look at the graph and see it starts when x=1, and continues forever in the positive direction.
Make them into improper fractions
(5*5)+3
(2*3)+2
Final fractions
28/5+8/3
Find a common denominator
Multiply 28/5 by 3
84/15
Multiply 8/3 by 5
40/15
Add - 84+40=124
