Mathematics

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 = 1/(x-2)

Multiply both sides by (x-2),

1*(x-2) = 1/(x-2) * (x-2)

x-2 = 1

Adding 2 on both sides,

x-2+2 = 1+2

x = 3

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 6.34 cents per
kirill [66]

Answer:

y = 18.38 + 0.0634x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Monthly base charge = $18.38,

Also, the cost of each kilowatt-hours = 6.34 cents = $ 0.0634

( 1 cents = 0.01 dollars ),

So, the cost of x kilowatt-hours = 0.0634x,

If y represents the total monthly charge ( in dollars ) for x kilowatt-hours,

Thus, the total monthly charge for x kilowatt-hours = base charge + cost of x kilowatt-hours,

⇒ y = 18.38 + 0.0634x

Which is the required equation.

Please help me, I don't know how to do this...
Lunna [17]

Answer:

  A.  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle will be a right triangle when the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  (x +1)^2 +x^2 = (√61)^2

  x^2 +2x +1 +x^2 = 61 . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x^2 +2x = 60 . . . . . . .subtract 1, collect terms

  x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, subtract 30

  (x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the quadratic

  x = -6 or +5

The solution is x = 5.

_____

Side lengths cannot be negative. Solution values are values of x that make the factors zero. x+6=0 when x=-6, for example.
