Question 83591: I do not know how to add a triangle for this problem, but I will try to explain it.
Refer to the triangle. Find an expression that represents its perimeter.
One side is 3/4x, the other side is 5/x^2, and the end is 1/x^2.

I do not know how to add a triangle for this problem, but I will try to explain it.
Refer to the triangle. Find an expression that represents its perimeter.
One side is 3/4x, the other side is 5/x^2, and the end is 1/x^2.
I guess you know that the perimeter is:
P = 3%2F%284x%29 + 5%2Fx%5E2 + 1%2Fx%5E2
:
Simplify, the common denominator will be 4x^2: you then have:
P = %28x%283%29+%2B+4%285%29+%2B+4%281%29%29%2F%284x%5E2%29
P = %283x+%2B+20+%2B+4%29%2F%284x%5E2%29
P = %283x+%2B+24%29%2F%284x%5E2%29
