[tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q} + \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{1}{p + q + x}[/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x} _{1} = - p \\ \displaystyle x _{2} = - q \end{cases}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation for x:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{p + q + x} [/tex]

to do so isolate [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] to right hand side and change its sign which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p + q + x} - \frac{1}{x} [/tex]

simplify Substraction:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{x - (q + p + x)}{x(p + q + x)} [/tex]

get rid of only x:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{ - (q + p )}{x(p + q + x)} [/tex]

simplify addition of the left hand side:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{q + p}{pq} = \frac{ - (q + p )}{x(p + q + x)} [/tex]

divide both sides by q+p Which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{1}{pq} = \frac{ -1}{x(p + q + x)} [/tex]

cross multiplication:

[tex] \displaystyle x(p + q + x) = - pq[/tex]

distribute:

[tex] \displaystyle xp + xq + {x}^{2} = - pq[/tex]

isolate -pq to the left hand side and change its sign:

[tex] \displaystyle xp + xq + {x}^{2} + pq = 0[/tex]

rearrange it to standard form:

[tex] \displaystyle {x}^{2} + xp + xq + pq = 0[/tex]

now notice we end up with a quadratic equation therefore to solve so we can consider factoring method to use so

factor out x:

[tex] \displaystyle x( {x}^{} + p ) + xq + pq = 0[/tex]

factor out q:

[tex] \displaystyle x( {x}^{} + p ) +q (x + p)= 0[/tex]

group:

[tex] \displaystyle ( {x}^{} + p ) (x + q)= 0[/tex]

by Zero product property we obtain:

[tex] \displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x}^{} + p = 0 \\ \displaystyle x + q= 0 \end{cases}[/tex]

cancel out p from the first equation and q from the second equation which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x}^{} = - p \\ \displaystyle x = - q \end{cases}[/tex]

and we are done!

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 add 28 to each side

-28 + 28 cancels out

28 + 8 = 36

we now have -6b = 36

step 2 divide each side by -6

-6b / -6 = b

36 / -6 = -6

we're left with b = -6

That gives you 65 then you will use TAN(65) and get 2.144506920509559 which you will then multiple by 7 to get 15.01154844356691 which you then round to get 15.01!

If the purchase price for a house is $309,900, what is the monthly payment if you put 20% down for a 30 year loan with a fixed rate of 6%? A. $729.98 b. $912.48 c. $1,486.41 d. $1,858.01 Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A. $729.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the purchase price for a house is $ 309,900, to determine what is the monthly payment if you put 20% down for a 30 year loan with a fixed rate of 6%, the following calculation must be performed:

100 - 20 = 80

(309,900 x 0.80) x 1.06 / (30x12) = X

247,920 x 1.06 / 360 = X

262,795.2 / 360 = X

729.98 = X

Therefore, the monthly payments will be $ 729.98.

Monthly Payment = 1,486.41

Mahmoud is working out the height, h metres, of a tower

BT which stands on level ground.

He measures the angle TAB as 25°.

He cannot measure the distance AB and so he walks 80 m

from A to C, where angle ACB = 18° and angle ABC = 90°.

Calculate

Answers

Answer:

24.72 m

11.53 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal distance AB can be obtained from △ABC

From trigonometry :

Sin18° = opposite / hypotenus

Sin18° = AB / 80

AB = 0.3090169 * 80

AB = 24.72 m

The height BT, of tower from △ABT

From trigonometry :

Tan25° = opposite / Adjacent

Tan25° = h / 24.72m

h = Tan25 * 24.72

h = 11.527

h = 11.53 m

Hence, height of tower BT = 11.53 m
