Establish a proportion.

8/127=15/x

Cross multiply

8x=1,905

Divide each side by 8

x=238.125

The greatest of the actual distances is 238.125 km.

Hope this clarification helps:)

If (a^3+27)=(a+3)(a^2+ma+9) then m equals

Inessa [3907]

Answer:

m = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ + 27 can be recognized as a sum of cubes, which factors generally as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²). Therefore:

a³ + 27

= a³ + 3³

= (a + 3)(a² - 3a + 9).

By comparing a² - 3a + 9 to a² + ma + 9, we find that

m = - 3.

Which are the solutions of x2 = –5x + 8? StartFraction negative 5 minus StartRoot 57 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction comma StartFract

tester [3916]

Answer:

$x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}$

Detailed solution:

Given:

The problem to solve is:

$x^2=-5x+8$

Convert the equation into the standard quadratic form $ax^2+bx +c =0$ , where $a,\ b,\ and\ c$ represent constants.

So, by adding $5x-8$ to both sides, we get:

$x^2+5x-8=0$

Note that $a=1,b=5,c=-8$ .

The roots of this quadratic are found by applying the quadratic formula given as:

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

Substitute $a=1,b=5,c=-8$ into the formula and calculate for $x$ .

$x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2-4(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{25+32}}{2}\\x=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{57}}{2}\\\\\\\therefore x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}$

Hence, the roots are:

$x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{57} }{2}\ or\ x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{57} }{2}$

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)? F (x) = StartFraction x minus 5 Over 3 x squared minus 1

AnnZ [3877]

Question:

Which statement is accurate concerning the function’s discontinuities $f(x) = \frac{x-5}{3x^2-17x-28}$

A) There are gaps at x = 7 and.

B) Asymptotes exist at x = 7 and.

C) Asymptotes exist at x = –7 and.

D) Gaps are present at (–7, 0) and.

Answer:

B) Asymptotes exist at x = 7 and $(x = \frac{-4}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$f(x) = \frac{x-5}{3x^2-17x-28}$

Goal:

Identify the correct statement

$f(x) = \frac{x-5}{3x^2-17x-28}$

We need to factor the denominator first.

$f(x) = \frac{x-5}{(3x+4)(x-7)}$

To express x in terms of (3x+4) and (x-7):

3x + 4 =

3x = -4

Divide both sides by 3:

$x = \frac{-4}{3}$

x - 7

x = 7

Next, evaluate the limit when $(x = \frac{-4}{3})$ and at (x = 7)

lim f(x) as $(x = \frac{-4}{3})$ = ±∞

lim f(x) as (x=7) = ±∞

Since both scenarios result in the denominator approaching zero, they represent asymptotes.

Thus, asymptotes are found at $(x = \frac{-4}{3})$ and x=7

Option B is determined to be correct
