I will assume that you meant:
(x+4)/(-3x^2+12x+36) factor the denominator...
(x+4)/(-3(x^2-4x-12))
To factor a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c you need to find two values, j and k, which satisfy two conditions...
jk=ac=-12 and j+k=b=-4 so j and k must be 2 and -6 and the factors are then:
(x+2)(x-6) so we are now left with:
(x+4)/(-3(x+2)(x-6))
The only restriction on this function is that division by zero is undefined, so x cannot equal -2 or 6
Answer:
27.385 cm longer would we expect Mike's arm span to be than George's.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find how many centimeters longer would we expect Mike's arm span to be than George's using the equation:
y= 4.5x + 0.977 x
where y= arm span
and x= height
Given:
Mike's height=x = 175 cm
so Mike's arm span= y= 4.5 x + 0.977 x
= 4.5* (175) + 0.977* (175)
= 787.5 + 170.975
= 958.475 cm
George's height = x = 170 cm
so George's arm span= y= 4.5 x + 0.977 x
= 4.5* (170) + 0.977* (170)
= 765 + 166.09
= 931.09 cm
Mike's arm span longer than George's = Mike's arm span - George's arm span
= 958.475 - 931.09
= 27.385 cm.
Answer:
This depends on the situation. For context, you use less than when your inequality CANNOT exceed more than.
You would use less than or equal to if your inequality can be equal to a number. Here's an example.
John needs to buy X oranges and Y apples. He can AT MOST buy 10 total fruits.
x + y (equal to or less than) 45
John needs to buy X oranges and Y apples. He CANNOT buy more than 10 total fruits.
x + y < 45
