Find the number that both can be divided by i.e. the common denominator of 56/8 is 8 because 56 is divisible by 8 and 8 is also divisible by 8.
so by finding the common denominator and dividing the fraction, the equation would look like this: 7/1
DCA is 116 because x=29, when you plug 29 into x you get 116
The answer is 2, simply because you need to make that negative sign a positive sign. To do that you will need to flip the numerator and denominator. Meaning that it will be 4/1 now. By doing this your exponent became positive! So if your teacher just wanted you just rewrite it, it would be (4/1)^1/2, but if you were to evaluate that, it would be 2
Given rational expression is
Now we need to find the restricted values if any for this rational expression.
Restricted values means the possible values of the used variable (x) that will make denominator 0 as division by 0 is not defined.
So to find the restricted values, we just set denominator equal to 0 and solve for x
2x=0 or 4x+1=0
x=0 or 4x=-1
x=0 or x=-1/4
Hence final answer is x=0, -1/4
