Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given rational function is

Let

Interchange x and y

Cross multiply

Expand

Solve for y;

or

Therefore

Answer:
x² + 7x + 10 = 0
Subtract 10 from both sides
x² + 7x = -10
Use half the x coefficent (7/2) as the complete the square term
(x + 7/2)² = -10 + (7/2)²
note: the number added to "complete the square" is (7/2)² = 49/4
(x + 7/2)² = -10 + 49/4
(x + 7/2)² = 9/4
Take the square root of both sides
x + 7/2 = ±3/2
Subtract 7/2 from both sides
x = -7/2 ± 3/2
x = {-5, -2}
Answer:
x = -2 and x = 5/4

Answer:
309in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of an octagon is expressed as;
A=2(1+√2)a²
a is the side length of the octagon
Given
a = 8
Substitute into the formula
A = 2(1+√2)(8)²
A = 2(1+√2)(64)
Expand
A = 2(64+64√2)
A = 128+128√2
A = 128+128(1.414)
A = 128+181.01
A = 309in²
Hence the area of the octagon is 309in²
