Answer:

let natural no be x

(x-20)=96/x

x²-20x-96=0

x²-24x+4x-96=0

x(x-24)+4(x-24)=0

(x-24)(x+4)=0

either

x=24

x=-4

What two rational expressions sum to 2x+3/x^2-5x+4
Anni [7]

Answer:

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression: \frac{2x + 3}{x^2 - 5x + 4}, to express this in simplified form, we would need to apply the concept of partial fraction.

Step 1: factorise the denominator

x^2 - 5x + 4

x^2 - 4x - x + 4

(x^2 - 4x) - (x + 4)

x(x - 4) - 1(x - 4)

(x- 1)(x - 4)

Thus, we now have: \frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}

Step 2: Apply the concept of Partial Fraction

Let,

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}

Multiply both sides by (x - 1)(x - 4)

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} * (x - 1)(x - 4) = (\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}) * (x - 1)(x - 4)

2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)

Step 3:

Substituting x = 4 in 2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)

2(4) + 3 = A(4 - 4) + B(4 - 1)

8 + 3 = A(0) + B(3)

11 = 3B

\frac{11}{3} = B

B = \frac{11}{3}

Substituting x = 1 in 2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)

2(1) + 3 = A(1 - 4) + B(1 - 1)

2 + 3 = A(-3) + B(0)

5 = -3A

\frac{5}{-3} = \frac{-3A}{-3}

A = -\frac{5}{3}

Step 4: Plug in the values of A and B into the original equation in step 2

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}

Magdalena Figueroa's covered medical care bills for a recent illness were $8,440.00. Her major medical policy had a coinsurance
devlian [24]
Medical bill = $8,440
Deductible = $400
Coinsurance plan = Medical policy 80% of all expenses above $400

Amount to pay = 400+ (8440-400)*20/100 = 400+1608 = $2,008

The value of y varies directly with x. Which function represents the relationship between x and y if y = 20/3 ?
geniusboy [140]
What does x equal? In order to find the relationship between x and y we need to know both values at a given instance. For example, if x = 10 while y = 20/3, then we know that you = 20x/30 or 2x/3.
