The only factoring you need to do is already done for you:
<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12 = (<em>x</em> + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3)
What you're asked to do is decompose
(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12)
into partial fractions, i.e. find <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> such that
(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12) = <em>a</em> / (<em>x</em> + 4) + <em>b</em> / (<em>x</em> - 3)
Multiply both sides by <em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12 :
3<em>x</em> - 4 = <em>a</em> (<em>x</em> - 3) + <em>b</em> (<em>x</em> + 4)
3<em>x</em> - 4 = (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + (-3<em>a</em> + 4<em>b</em>)
So we have
<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 3
-3<em>a</em> + 4<em>b</em> = -4
and solving this system gives
<em>a</em> = 16/7 and <em>b</em> = 5/7
so you should submit the numbers in bold:
(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12) = 16 / (7 (<em>x</em> + 4)) + 5 / (7 (<em>x</em> - 3))
Answer:
Step 1: It should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
Step-by-step explanation:
He made the mistake in Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180°
It should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180°
Then only, he can equate it with m∠o + m∠p in step 3.
So, m∠p is the exterior angle and m∠m and m∠n are the two remote interior angles.
m∠o is the adjacent angle to m∠p. They form a linear pair.
Hence, the correct answer is Step 1.
Answer:
It will take 518 calorie smoothy that she had for breakfast in the morning.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 108. Because you multiply 3 by 9. which is 27 then you multiply 27 by 4 because thats how many 3zs there are.
Answer:
The area of a rectangle with length of 5 and width of 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself.
area = lxw
A=5x5 (5 times itself)
A=25
therefore it is a perfect square
