Hey there!
A reciprocal might be an unfamiliar vocab word, but the concept is really quite simple.
It's just a flipped fraction! Multiplying the flipped fraction by it's reciprocal gets you one, and that's how you check your answer.
So we have:
Reciprocal of 9/10 is 10/9, because 9/10 times 10/9 = 90/90 = 1
Reciprocal of 1/11 is 11/1, because 1/11 times 11/1 = 11/11 = 1
Reciprocal of 10(remember, it's 10/1) is 1/10, because 10/1 times 1/10 = 10/10 = 1
Hope this helps!
Answer: -3x^3 - 7x^2 - x + 39
Step-by-step explanation:
2/(x^2 -9) - 3x/(x^2-5x+6)
get those denominators factored out
2/(x-3)(x+3) - 3x/(x-3)(x-2)
Multiply both by both denominators
2(x-3)(x-2) - 3x(x-3)(x+3)
Multiply it out
(2x^2 - 10x + 12) - (3x^3 + 9x^2 -9x - 27)
Simplify and it becomes
-3x^3 -7x^2 -x + 39
