Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
Answer:
Side WZ=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since he two are similar you need to make a ratio of the two parallelograms
The first tells you side FE is 2 and side EH is 3 so write it like this 2/3.
Next you need to do the same thing with the second parallelogram, so you know side XW is 6 but you don't know side WZ so you'd write this one 6/x.
You can do this since FE is similar to XW, because it is the same shape just bigger.
Next you take the two fractions adn set them equal to each other.
2 6
_ = _
3 x
Now cross multiply (2 timesx and 6 times 3)
It should look like this now
2x=18
Now all you have to do is divide by 2.
