a=6, b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use simplification into substitution
\frac{a}{3} =1+\frac{2}{b}

a=3(1+\frac{2}{b})

a=3+\frac{6}{b}

We can now plug this value of <em>a</em> into the second equation.

\frac{3+\frac{6}{b} }{4} +\frac{3}{b} =3

Get rid of fractions in the numerators and/or denominators

\frac{3b+6}{4b} +\frac{3}{b} =3

Then we can match the denominators

\frac{3b+6}{4b} +\frac{12}{4b} =3

Combine

\frac{3b+18}{4b} =3

Divide both sides by three

\frac{b+6}{4b} =1

Get rid of fractions

b+6=4b

Single out <em>b</em>

6=3b

b=2

Now we can plug it into the equation

\frac{a}{3} -\frac{2}{2} =1

\frac{a}{3} =2

a=6

Now we can check it;

\frac{6}{3} -\frac{2}{2} =1

↑CORRECT

\frac{6}{4} +\frac{3}{2} =3

↑CORRECT

A man 6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 11 feet long. A building casts a shadow of 139 feet long. The building is tall. Round y
dmitriy555 [2]

Given:

Height of man = 6 ft

Height of man's shadow = 11 feet

Height of building's shadow = 139 feet

To find:

The height of the building.

Solution:

We know that the heights of the objects and there shadows are always proportional.

\dfrac{\text{Height of man}}{\text{Height of man's shadow}}=\dfrac{\text{Height of the building}}{\text{Height of building's shadow}}

Let x be the height of the building.

\dfrac{6}{11}=\dfrac{x}{139}

Multiply both sides by 139.

\dfrac{6}{11}\times 139=x

\dfrac{834}{11}=x

75.8181...=x

x\approx 75.8

Therefore, the building is 75.8 feet long.

F(x)= -x over x^2+5 on the domain [0,4]
BartSMP [9]
If you're asking for extrema, like the previous posting

well

\bf f(x)=\cfrac{-x}{x^2+5}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{(x^2+5)+2x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\implies \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{5+3x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;using\ the\\&#10;quotient\ rule&#10;\end{array}

like the previous posting, since this rational is identical, just that the denominator is negative, the denominator yields no critical points

and the numerator, yields no critical points either, so the only check you can do is for the endpoints, of 0 and 4

f(0) = 0        <---- only maximum, and thus absolute maximum

f(4) ≈ - 0.19  <----  only minimum, and thus absolute minimum

State the value of the discriminant for the equation,<br> 3x^2 + 7x + 3 = 0
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

If you remember the quadratic equation formula;

x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{}\sqrt{b^2-4ac}  }{2a}

You can easily extract what is under the root to find the discriminant.

b^2-4ac=?\\

a = 3

b = 7

c = 3

(7)^2-4(3)(3)\\49-36=13
