If (2x+3)/(x-4)-(2x-8)/(2x+1)=1, what is x?

First eliminate fractions;

    Multiplying both sides by (x-4) gives;

    (2x+3)-((2x-8)(x-4))/(2x+1)=(x-4)

    Multiplying both sides by (2x+1) gives;

A ball is thrown out of a window 18m off the ground. It is thrown horizontally at 0.5m/s. Show that it takes about 2s to reach the ground

Using the initial information we can see that the acceleration in the 'y' direction is equal to 'g', so from this we can work out the velocity in the 'y' direction 'V(y)' by simply integrating the acce...

The shortest side of a triangle is 4.3m long. Two of the angles are 45.1 and 51.2 degrees respectively. Find the length of the longest side.

To begin we calculate the third unknown angle in the triangle by taking the two known angles (45.1 and 51.2) away from 180 degrees (remember the interior angles of a triangle sum to 180). We find this ...
