Mathematics
1 answer:
Brilliant_brown [7]2 years ago

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3x^2-3}{x^2-5x+4} ( factorise numerator and denominator )

3x² - 3 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(x² - 1²) ← x² - 1 is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

x² - 1

= x² - 1²

= (x - 1)(x + 1) , then

3x² - 3 = 3²(x - 1)(x + 1) ← in factored form

--------------------------------

x² - 5x + 4

consider the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

the factors are - 1 and - 4 , since

- 1 × - 4 = + 4 and - 1 - 4 = - 5 , then

x² - 5x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 4)

then

\frac{3x^2-3}{x^2-5x+4} = \frac{3(x-1)(x+1)}{(x-1)(x-4)} ← in factored form

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i assume x+y=6(1/2)=\frac{13}{2}

\frac{5}{8}=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{x}{\frac{13}{2}-x}=\frac{2x}{13-2x}\\65-10x=16x \\26 x=65\\2x=5\\x=\frac{5}{2}\\y=\frac{13}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4
