are you asking how many values of x there are? if so, i'm pretty sure the answer is 3.
Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
1) neither
2) geometric sequence
-6p < 12 Divide -6 on both sides to get "p" by itself
p > -2
When you divide or multiply a negative number to both sides of the inequality, the sign (< , > , ≤ , ≥) is flipped.
Answer might be 9 due to my algebra teacher
