Is there a worksheet that goes with it? So I can understand better
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
x = 1
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.
The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...
1 = 1/x
The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.
___
If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...
((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0
(-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator
(x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
(x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.
Answer:x= 0.5,−3
Step-by-step explanation:
When you make the product of a binomial of the kind x + a times other binomial that is of the kind x - a, you obtain another binomial (not a trinomial), so any example with that form will be a counterexample that disproves the conjecture:
(x + a) * (x - a) = x^2 - a^2
For example, (x +3) * (x - 3) = x^2 - 9. So, not always the product of two binomials is a trinomial.
