Answer:
When we have a rational function like:

The domain will be the set of all real numbers, such that the denominator is different than zero.
So the first step is to find the values of x such that the denominator (x^2 + 3) is equal to zero.
Then we need to solve:
x^2 + 3 = 0
x^2 = -3
x = √(-3)
This is the square root of a negative number, then this is a complex number.
This means that there is no real number such that x^2 + 3 is equal to zero, then if x can only be a real number, we will never have the denominator equal to zero, so the domain will be the set of all real numbers.
D: x ∈ R.
b) we want to find two different numbers x such that:
r(x) = 1/4
Then we need to solve:

We can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 3)


Now we can multiply both sides by 4:


Now we only need to solve the quadratic equation:
x^2 + 3 - 4*x - 4 = 0
x^2 - 4*x - 1 = 0
We can use the Bhaskara's formula to solve this, remember that for an equation like:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
the solutions are:

here we have:
a = 1
b = -4
c = -1
Then in this case the solutions are:

x = (4 + 4.47)/2 = 4.235
x = (4 - 4.47)/2 = -0.235
8, 8 2/7, 26/3, 8.8
(You have to change 8 2/7 to 8.28 and 26/3 to 8.66
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the cost of a sheet be s and cost of a blanket be b</u>
<u>From the first equation we get:</u>
<u>Substitute in the second equation</u>
- s + 4*(41 - 2s) = 80
- s + 164 - 8s = 80
- 7s = 84
- s = 12
<u>Then</u>
The answer is 175 square inches because you have to multiply 5in•7in to get 35inches per picture and since there are five you have to multiply by 35•5=175
