Answer:

x = 2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

\frac{4-x}{x^{2} -5x+4} + \frac{2}{x-1} =1

=============================================================

Factorize the denominator of the first term :

⇒ x² - 5x + 4

⇒ x² - x - 4x + 4

⇒ x(x - 1) - 4(x - 1)

⇒ (x - 4)(x - 1)

============================================================

Hence, the equation now is :

\frac{4-x}{(x-1)(x-4)} + \frac{2}{x-1} =1

============================================================

Multiply the second term by (x - 4) in the numerator and denominator :

\frac{4-x}{(x-1)(x-4)} + \frac{2(x-4)}{x-1(x-4)} =1

============================================================

Combine the numerator of both terms and bring the denominator to the other side :

\frac{4-x+2(x-4)}{(x-1)(x-4)} = 1

4 - x+2x-8 = x^{2} - 5x + 4

x - 4 = x^{2} - 5x + 4

x^{2}  -5x-x+4+4=0

x^{2} -6x+8=0

(x-4)(x-2)=0

x = 2, 4

Find either the maximum or the minimum value of the following quadratic equation. Be sure to show all of your work and identify
podryga [215]

Answer:

the minimum is (1,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x^2 - 10x - 4

since the parabola opens upward  5>0, this will have a minimum

it will occur along the axis of symmetry h=-b/2a

y =ax^2 +bx+c

h = -(-10)/2*5

h  = 10/10 =1

the minimum occurs at x =1

the y value for the minimum is calculated by substituting x =1 back into the equation

y = 5 * 1^2 - 10*1 -4

y = 5*1^2 -10 -4

y = 5-10-4

y = -9

the minimum is (1,-9)
