Answer:
x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x/x - 1 = x - 3 - 2/x
x/x - 1 = 0:
0 = x - 3 - 2/x
0 = x - 3 - 2/x is equivalent to x - 3 - 2/x = 0:
x - 3 - 2/x = 0
Bring x - 3 - 2/x together using the common denominator x:
(x^2 - 3 x - 2)/x = 0
Multiply both sides by x:
x^2 - 3 x - 2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x^2 - 3 x = 2
Add 9/4 to both sides:
x^2 - 3 x + 9/4 = 17/4
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 3/2)^2 = 17/4
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 3/2 = sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2
Add 3/2 to both sides:
x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2
Add 3/2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2
For number 15 and 16, you just have to find the absolute difference between the two points along the calibration of the protractor.
15. ∠BXC = |B - C| = |140° - 110°| = 30°
16. ∠BXE = |B - E| = |140° - 30°| = 110°
For numbers 20 and 21, apply the Angle Addition Postulate. This is when you add the individual interior angles to equate to the total angle.
20. ∠PQS = ∠PQR + ∠RQS
112° = 72°+ 10x°
x = 4
21. ∠KLM = ∠KLN + ∠NLM
135° = 47°+ 16y°
y = 5.5
First do the the parenthesis: (6-3) = 3
Now you have [-4 + 3 * 8] -10
Next do multiplication: 3 *8 = 24
Now you have [-4 + 24]-10
Now do what is in brackets: -4 + 24 = 20
Now you have 20-10
Subtract 20-10 = 10
Answer:
a(n) = -20 + 3(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
a(n) = -20 + 3(n - 1)
