Answer:

b = -57/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first distribute everything out:

-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b

2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170

So, we have:

-8 - 40b - 170 = 50

-40b - 178 = 50

-40b = 50 + 178 = 228

b = -228/40 = -57/10

Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.

Hope this helps!

Write the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression. Do not solve for the constants. 37 x2 − 6x

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{A}{x}+\dfrac{B}{x-6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function $\dfrac{37}{x(x-6)}$ , to write the form of its partial fraction on decomposition, we will separate the two functions separated by an addition sign. The numerator of each function will be constants A and b and the denominator will be the individual factors of each function at the denominator. The partial fraction of the rational function is as shown below.
