Answer:

x = \frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x^2+x} ← factor denominator

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

[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]

Multiply through by x(x + 1)

4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4

4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = \frac{9}{4}

However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then

solution is x = \frac{9}{4}

show that thw roots of the equation (x-a)(x_b)=k^2 are always real if a,b and k are real. Please I really need help with this
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the value of the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real

• If b² - 4ac = 0 roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are not real

given (x - a)(x - b) = k² ( expand factors )

x² - bx - ax - k² = 0 ( in standard form )

x² + x(- a - b) - k² = 0

with a = 1, b = (- a - b), c = -k²

b² - 4ac = (- a - b)² + 4k²

For a, b, k ∈ R then (- a - b)² ≥ 0 and 4k² ≥ 0

Hence roots of the equation are always real for a, b, k ∈ R

Answer:

Adult: 50 tickets

Child: 34 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the amount of adult tickets

Let c be the amount of child tickets

Equation:

a + c = 84

14a + 9c = 1,006

Step 1: Multiply a + c = 84 with -9, to canceled c.

-9 (a + c = 84)    →  -9a - 9c = -756

14a + 9c = 1006 → 14a + 9c = 1006

Step 2: Combined the 2 equation together, and solved it.

-9a - 9c = -756

<u>14a + 9c = 1006</u>

       <u> 5a</u> = <u>250</u>

        5        5

           a = 50

Step 3: Plug 50 into the one of the equation, and solved it.

a + c = 84 → 50 + c = 84

                  <u>-50         -50</u>

                            c = 34

Answer: Adult tickets (a) = 50 and Child tickets (c) = 34

To check the answer plug the two number into the equation ( Make sure to add 50 for a and 34 for c).

Chad and Victoria are playing a game with a quarter and a spinner divided into sixths numbered one through six each player spins
rodikova [14]
The simple way to do this is to multiply the number of outcomes of one object times the number of outcomes in the other object. In this case a quarter has 2 sides, heads and tails. Since the spinner has 6 sections, there are 6 outcomes.


With this we can do, 2x6=12.

Therefore there are 12 outcomes
