Answer:

-8±√17 and -8±6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x+16/x=4, x^2+16-4x=0. x=-8±√17

2. x+16/x=8, x^2+16-8=0. x=-8±6√2

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (4,−1) that is parallel to the line 2x−3y=9.
motikmotik

Hey there!

Line passes through (4, -1) & is parallel to 2x -3y=9

Let's start off by identifying what our slope is. In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we know that "m" is our slope.

The given equation needs to be converted into slope-intercept form and we can do this by getting y onto its own side of the equal sign.

Start off by subtracting 2x from both sides.

-3y = -2x + 9

Then, divide both sides by -3.

y = (-2x + 9)/-3

Simplify.

y = 2/3x - 3

"M" is simply a place mat so if we look at our given line, the "m" value is 2/3. Therefore, our slope is 2/3.

We should also note that we're looking for a line that's parallel to the given one. This means that our new line has the same slope as our given line. Therefore, our new line has a slope of 2/3.

Now, we use point-slope form ( y-y₁=m(x-x₁) ) to complete our task of finding a line that passes through (4, -1). Our new slope is 2/3 & it passes through (4, -1).

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Let's start by plugging in 2/3 for m (our new slope), 4 for x1 and -1 for y1.

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 4)

Simplify.

y + 1 = 2/3 + 8/3

Simplify by subtracting 1 from both sides.

y = 2/3x + 8/3 - 1

Simplify.

y = 2/3x + 5/3

Help me with 16,17,18,and 19 please simpl
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Ques 16)

We have to simplify the expression:

\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{5t}{t^2+3t-18}-\dfrac{t-3}{t^2+3t-18})\\   \\=\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{4t+3}{t^2+3t-18})\\  \\=\dfrac{t^2-4t-3}{t^2+3t+18}

Ques 17)

\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{2w^2-9w+4}{(2w^2+9w-5)(w^2-w-12)}\\  \\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{(2w-1)(w-4)}{(2w-1)(w+5)(w+3)(w-4)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{(w+3)(w+5)}+\dfrac{1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7+1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{(3w-2)(w+3)}{(w+5)(w+3)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w-2}{w+5}

Ques 18)

Let the blank space be denoted by the quantity 'x'.

\dfrac{x}{12a^2+8a}+\dfrac{15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\ \\\dfrac{x+15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a(3a+2)}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a}=7a\\\\x+15a^2=28a^2\\\\x=28a^2-15a^2\\\\x=13a^2

Ques 19)

Let the missing quantity be denoted by 'x'.

\dfrac{p^2+7p+2}{p^2+5p-14}-\dfrac{x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\ \\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{(p-2)(p+7)}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=(p-1)(p+7)\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=p^2+6p-7\\\\x=p+9
