The value of x<em> </em>in the polynomial fraction 3/((x-4)•(x-7)) + 6/((x-7)•(x-13)) + 15/((x-13)•(x-28)) - 1/(x-28) = -1/20 is <em>x </em>= 24

<h3>How can the polynomial with fractions be simplified to find<em> </em><em>x</em>?</h3>

The given equation is presented as follows;

\frac{3}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7) }  + \frac{6}{(x - 7) \cdot (x - 13)   }  + +\frac{15}{(x - 13) \cdot (x - 28) } - \frac{1}{(x - 28)  } =  -  \frac{1}{20}

Factoring the common denominator, we have;

\frac{3\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28) + 6 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 28)  + 15 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 7)  - (x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)}   + =  -  \frac{1}{20}

Simplifying the numerator of the right hand side using a graphing calculator, we get;

By expanding and collecting, the terms of the numerator gives;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548)

Given that the terms of the numerator have several factors in common, we get;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548) = -(x-7)•(x-28)•(x-13)

Which gives;

\frac{-(x - 7) \cdot(x - 28)\cdot (x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)}   + =  -  \frac{1}{20}

Which gives;

\frac{-1}{(x - 4)}   + =  -  \frac{1}{20}

x - 4 = 20

Therefore;

  • x = 20 + 4 = 24

topjm [15]
AB + C
= (x + 1)(x^2 + 2x - 1)  +  2x
= x^3 + 2x^2 - x + x^2 + 2x - 1 + 2x
= x^3  + 3x^2 + 3x - 1

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (1,-1) and (-2,8)? (Also can you show me how you got it please?)​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The answer is -3

You use the formula y1-y2
———
x1-x2
-1 and 8 are your y’s
1 and -2 are your x’s

Your equation should look like this
-1-8 -9
—— = —— = -3
1-(-2) 3

I plugged the y’s and x’s into the formula.
I hope this helps!!
