Answer:

\frac{x^{2}  + 19x - 56}{4 {x}^{2}   - 32x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by making the denominators of both fraction the same. This can be done by multiplying one fraction's denominator by the other.

After simplifying and combining the two fractions together, check if the numerator can be factorised such that there is a common factor in the denominator and numerator. In this case, the numerator cannot be factorised.

Lastly, expand the denominator.

\frac{x + 7}{4x}  +  \frac{5}{x - 8}

=  \frac{(x + 7)(x - 8)}{4x(x - 8)}  +  \frac{5(4x)}{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{x(x) + x( - 8) + 7(x) + 7( - 8) + 20x}{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{ {x}^{2} - 8x + 7x - 56 + 20x }{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{ {x}^{2}  + 19x - 56}{4x(x - 8)}

=  \frac{ {x}^{2}  + 19x - 56}{4 {x}^{2}  -  32x}

ABC is a right triangle. If AC = 12 and BC = 13, find AB.
AysviL [449]
Since BC is the hypotenuse...

α = 12
c = 13

Hence..

13² = 12² + ß²
ß = √(13² - 12²)
= √(169 - 144)
= √25
= 5

Hence, AB = 5

I hope this helps!

The cost of three tickets to a movie is at least $20. Select an inequality that represents the cost x (in dollars) of each ticke
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

x\geq \$6.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the cost of each ticket

we know that

3x\geq 20 ----> inequality that represent the situation

solve for x

Divide by 3 both sides

x\geq 20/3

x\geq \$6.67

A triangle has sides with lengths of 7 feet, 15 feet, and 17 feet. is it a right triangle?
aksik [14]
To test if this is a right triangle, let's test these side lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is the hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle.
a and b are the legs of the right triangle.

a = 7
b = 15
c = 17

7^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 ?

49 + 225 = 289 ?

274 ≠ 289

Thus, this triangle is not a right triangle since it does not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Have an awesome day! :)

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and let theta be opposite the side of length a. If cos theta < 0, what must be true
katrin2010 [14]
If \cos \theta\ \textless \ 0, then angle \theta is obtuse and triangle with sides a, b, c is obtuse triangle.
In an arbitrary triangle can be only one obtuse angle, and the side which lies opposite to the largest angle is the largest. Then since <span>angle \theta is opposite the side of length a</span>  you can conclude that a>c and a>b.
