Simplify each rational expression to lowest terms, specifying the values of xx that must be excluded to avoid division

k0ka [10]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

(c) $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$ .The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

(d) $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2.

(e) $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce each rational expression to lowest terms you must:

(a) For $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-6x+5\\\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x^2-x\right)+\left(-5x+5\right)\\x^2-6x+5=x\left(x-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x-1\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x^2-3x-10=x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x+2\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:x-5\\\\\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$

The denominator in a fraction cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined. So we need to figure out what values of the variable(s) in the expression would make the denominator equal zero.

To find any values for x that would make the denominator = 0 you need to set the denominator = 0 and solving the equation.

$x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

$x+2=0\\x=-2\\\\x-5=0\\x=5$

The domain is the set of all possible inputs of a function which allow the function to work. Therefore the domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) For $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{x^3}{x^3}=1$

Quotient = 1

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:by\:}1:\:x^3+2x^2-x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:from\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}$

Remainder = $x^2+4x+1}$

$\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

$x^3+2x^2-x=0\\\\x^3+2x^2-x=x\left(x^2+2x-1\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2+2x-1=0:\quad x=-1+\sqrt{2},\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}$

(c) For $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}$

$x^2-16=\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+2x-8= \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)$

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}\\\\\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

$x^2+2x-8=0\\\\x^2+2x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)=0$

(d) For $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:cube\:of\:sum\:rule:\:}a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3=\left(a+b\right)^3\\\\a=x,\:\:b=2\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3$

$\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)^3}\\\\\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2

$x^3+6x^2+12x+8=0\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3=0\\x=-2$

(e) For $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}$

$\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers.

$x^2+1=0\\x^2=-1\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-1},\:x=-\sqrt{-1}$

he population of a city grows at a rate of 5% per year. The population in 1990 was 400,000. What would be the predicted current

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

5 percent of 400,000 is 20,000
It is about 28 years from 1990
20,000 * 28 = 560,000
560,000 + 400,000 = 960,000
So the estimated current popu;ation in a city is 960,000.
Hope this helps!

Find the difference between the banker's discount and the true discount on Rs. 330 in 4 years at 2.5% p.a.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The present worth of the money is important to understand before dwelling into the true discount. Any money that is to be paid before the due date is cleared off for debt is known as the present worth of the money.

True discount can be understood in reference to this present worth. The difference between the present worth of the money and the amount is known as the true discount.

Also, it can be stated as the interest in any present worth for the amount of time the debt is due to be discharged
