I just learned that a rhombus has equal opposite equal acute angles, opposite equal obtuse angles, and four equal sides. That means y is equal to all the sides! Angle x is 61° and y = 16 in
Solve for all values of p:
1 answer:
Answer:
p = - 5, p = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-
=
Multiply through by the LCM of (p - 5)(p + 3)
3p(p + 3) - 2(p - 5) = p(p - 5) ← distribute parenthesis
3p² + 9p - 2p + 10 = p² - 5p
3p² + 7p + 10 = p² - 5p ( subtract p² - 5p from both sides )
2p² + 12p + 10 = 0 ← divide through by 2
p² + 6p + 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(p + 1)(p + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for p
p + 1 = 0 ⇒ p = - 1
p + 5 = 0 ⇒ p = - 5

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.
Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that
To write this in interval notation, we would write This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.
The range is the set of y values such that
In interval notation, it would be written as This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity
note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity
