Answer:
(x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²+ax-15) ... x³=x*(1*x²) while -30= (2)*(-15)
x³ +<u> 0</u>*x² - 19x -30 = x³ + (<u>2+a</u>)x² + (2a-15)x -30
2+a = 0
a = -2
x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²-2x-15) = (x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
In 4 hours they will be 400 miles apart 4 times 55 is 220 and 4 time 45 is 180 since there going in opposer directions add the miles together and it equals 400 so it takes 4 hours
Answer:
rational
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
x = 1
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.
The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...
1 = 1/x
The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.
___
If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...
((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0
(-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator
(x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
(x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.
