Start with the answer format we want, and work your way toward forming a single fraction like so
[tex]a + \frac{b}{x+2}\\\\a*1+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\a*\frac{x+2}{x+2}+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{a(x+2)}{x+2}+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{a(x+2)+b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{ax+2a+b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{ax+(2a+b)}{x+2}\\\\[/tex]
Compare that last expression to (2x+1)/(x+2). Notice how the ax and 2x match up, so a = 2 must be the case.
Then we have 2a+b as the remaining portion in the numerator. Plugging in a = 2 leads to 2a+b = 2*2+b = 4+b. Set this equal to the +1 found in (2x+1)/(x+2) to have the terms match.
So, 4+b = 1 leads to b = -3
Therefore, a = 2 and b = -3
------------------------------------------------
An alternative route:
[tex]\frac{2x+1}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2x+1+0}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2x+1+4-4}{x+2}\\\\\frac{(2x+4)+1-4}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)-3}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{x+2}+\frac{-3}{x+2}\\\\2-\frac{3}{x+2}\\\\[/tex]
I added and subtracted 4 in the third step so that I could form 2x+4, which then factors to 2(x+2). That way I could cancel out a pair of (x+2) terms toward the very end.
------------------------------------------------
Other alternative methods involve synthetic division or polynomial long division. They are slightly separate but related concepts.
Answer:
a = 2
b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
the secret is seeing that the numerator (top part of the division) contains 2x. that means 2 times the factor of x in the denominator (bottom part of the division).
so, we want to change the numerator that we can simply say the result is 2 and some rest (remainder).
2×(x+2) would be 2x + 4
aha !
and we have 2x+1 up there. so, what had to happen to get from 2x+4 to 2x+1 ? we had to subtract 3. it to get to 2x+4 we have to add 3.
but if we add 3, we need also to subtract 3 to keep the value of the whole expression the same.
therefore we get
(2x+1)/(x+2) = (2x+4)/(x+2) - 3/(x+2) =
= 2×(x+2)/(x+2) - 3/(x+2) = 2 - 3/(x+2)

Q
Leave your answer in terms of . For example your answer might to 98 + 107.
square inches
NOTE: Figures are NOT to scale.
Answer:
7π + 7π + 196 ( could also be 14π + 196)
Step-by-step explanation:
14 is the length of the square. However it is also the diameter of the circle.
If you do diameter x π you will get the circumfrance. Which in this case is 14π. If your trying to find half of the circumfrance you would do 14π ÷ 2 which is 7π.
After finding 7π for one half a circle you do the same for the other and also get 7π
After finding the 2 half circles find the square which is 14 x 14 = 196
196 + 7π + 7π if you don't want bother pi's there it could also be seen as 196+ 14 π

What is the length of BC? :(
Enter your answer in the box
Answer:
BC=22
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We are given an isosceles triangle (notice the markings on m<C and m<B), the length of the sides AB and AC as x-2 and 2x-24 respectively, and we want to find the length of BC (given as x)
In an isosceles triangle, the sides known as the legs (in this case, AC and AB), are congruent to each other
As they both contain x in their side lengths (remember that x=BC), let's set them equal to each other to find the value of x
2x-24=x-2
Add 24 to both sides
2x=x+22
Subtract x from both sides
x=22
So the length of BC is 22
Hope this helps!

Need help! Please show your work too. Thanks!
Answer:
Part 1)
[tex]\displaystyle \left((2-x)^2 + 1)\right) + (2\sqrt{3} - 1 ) \left(x^2 + 1\right)[/tex]
Or simplified:
[tex]\displaystyle = 2\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4x + 4 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Part 2)
The value of x for which the given expression will be the lowest is:
[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\approx 0.5774[/tex]
And the magnitude of ∠BAC is 60°.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a ΔABC with an area of one. We are also given that AB = 2, BC = a, and CA = b. CD is a perpendicular line from C to AB.
Please refer to the diagram below.
Part 1)
Since we know that the area of the triangle is one:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} (2)(CD) = 1[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle CD = 1[/tex]
From the Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]\displaystyle x^2 + CD^2 = b^2[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]x^2 + 1 = b^2[/tex]
BD will simply be (2 - x). From the Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]\displaystyle (2-x)^2 + CD^2 = a^2[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (2-x)^2+ 1 = a^2[/tex]
We have the expression:
[tex]\displaystyle a^2 + (2\sqrt{3} - 1) b^2[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle = \boxed{\left((2-x)^2 + 1)\right) + (2\sqrt{3} - 1 ) \left(x^2 + 1\right)}[/tex]
Part 2)
We can simplify the expression. Expand and distribute:
[tex]\displaystyle (4 - 4x + x^2 + 1)+ (2\sqrt{3} -1)x^2 + 2\sqrt{3} - 1[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle = ((2\sqrt{3} -1 )x^2 + x^2) + (-4x) + (4+1-1+2\sqrt{3})[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle = 2\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4x + 4 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Since this is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient, it will have a minimum value. Recall that the minimum value of a quadratic always occur at its vertex. The vertex is given by the formulas:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]
In this case, a = 2√3, b = -4, and c = (4 + 2√3).
Therefore, the x-coordinate of the vertex is:
[tex]\displaystyle x = -\frac{(-4)}{2(2\sqrt{3})} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} =\boxed{ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}[/tex]
Hence, the value of x at which our expression will be the lowest is at √3/3.
To find ∠BAC, we can use the tangent ratio. Recall that:
[tex]\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle \tan \angle BAC = \frac{CD}{x}[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle \tan \angle BAC = \frac{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} = \sqrt{3}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle\boxed{ m\angle BAC = \arctan\sqrt{3} = 60^\circ}[/tex]

find the value of m if 3m/5+m/2=4/1+2/5
Answer: m = 3.89
Step-by-step explanation:
(3m/5)+(m/2) =(4/1)+(2/5)
= (taking LCM) (6m+5m)/10 = (20+1)/5
or, 11m/10 = 21/5
or, 55m = 210
or, m = 210/55
so, m = 3.89
Find the equation of the line that is parallel
to the line y = 3x + 9 and passes
through the point (2,1) Write the
equation in slope-intercept form.
Answer:
y = 3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, then
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, 1) into the partial equation
1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 6 = - 5
y = 3x - 5 ← equation of parallel line

The equations of four lines are given. Identify which lines are perpendicular.
Line 1: y=2
Line 2: y=15x−3
Line 3: x=−4
Line 4: y+1=−5(x+2)
Answer:
lines 1 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis
x = - 4 is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis
Then these 2 lines are perpendicular to each other
y = 15x - 3 ( in the form y = mx + c ) with m = 15
y + 1 = - 5(x + 2) ( in the form y - b = m(x - a) with m = - 5
For the lines to be perpendicular the product of their slopes = - 1
However
15 × - 5 = - 75 ≠ - 1
The 2 lines 1 and 3 are perpendicular

Making r the subject of formula, we have; [tex]r = \frac{V}{\pi h^{2} } \; + \;\frac{h}{3}[/tex]
In Mathematics, making a variable the subject of formula simply means making the particular variable to be equal to all the other variable contained in an algebraic expression or mathematical equation. Thus, the subject of a formula is typically on the left-hand side of a mathematical equation while the other variables on the right-side.
Given the mathematical expression;

A) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground
B) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
C) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground
D) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
Answer:
A) f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground
Step-by-step explanation:
f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 7
Factor out 4 from the first two terms
f(t) = 4(t^2 − 2t) + 7
Complete the square
(-2/2)^2 =1 But there is a 4 out front so we add 4 and then subtract 4 to balance
f(t) = 4( t^2 -2t+1) -4 +7
f(t) = 4( t-1)^2 +3
