Answer:
a =1 and a=4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is

If we want f(x) to be continuous the denominator needs to be different to 0, otherwise f(x) will be indeterminate.
Now, for a a positive real we have that
will annulate the denominator, i.e
. But, if a = 1 we have:

so, the value
won't annulate the denominator.
Now, for a = 4 we have:

so, the value
won't annulate the denominator.
In conclusion, for a=1 or a=1, the function will be continuos for all real numbers, since the denominator will never be 0.
Simplifying
5x(4y + 3x) = 5x(3x + 4y)
Reorder the terms:
5x(3x + 4y) = 5x(3x + 4y)
(3x * 5x + 4y * 5x) = 5x(3x + 4y)
Reorder the terms:
(20xy + 15x2) = 5x(3x + 4y)
(20xy + 15x2) = 5x(3x + 4y)
20xy + 15x2 = (3x * 5x + 4y * 5x)
Reorder the terms:
20xy + 15x2 = (20xy + 15x2)
20xy + 15x2 = (20xy + 15x2)
Add '-20xy' to each side of the equation.
20xy + -20xy + 15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
Combine like terms: 20xy + -20xy = 0
0 + 15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
Combine like terms: 20xy + -20xy = 0
15x2 = 0 + 15x2
15x2 = 15x2
Add '-15x2' to each side of the equation.
15x2 + -15x2 = 15x2 + -15x2
Combine like terms: 15x2 + -15x2 = 0
0 = 15x2 + -15x2
Combine like terms: 15x2 + -15x2 = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Add (or subtract) a number from both sides.
Multiply (or divide) both sides by a positive number.
Simplify a side.
Answer:
2.02 m
or 2 m 2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine a triangle containing the 40° angle and that this angle is at the left. Then the height of the truck bed is 1.3 m and the "shortest possible length of the ramp" is the hypotenuse of this triangle. We need to find the length of this ramp, that is, the length of the hypotenuse.
The sine function relates this 40° angle and the 1.3 m height of the truck bed:
sin 40° = opp / hyp = 1.3 m / hyp
which can be solved for 'hyp' as follows:
1.3 m
hyp = ----------------- = (1.3 m) / 0.6428)
sin 40°
1.3 m
Thus, the length of the ramp must be less than -------------- or 2.02 m
0.6428
where this last result is to the nearest cm.
If the ramp is shorter the angle of the ramp will be smaller and the ramp angle considered safer.
