This is the theory of algebra, to simply the expression we proceed as follows;
[sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
simplifying the numerator we get:
sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)
=[x-2+5]/sqrt(x-2)
=(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)
therefore our entire expression will be:
[(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
[(x+3)/(x-2)^(1/2)]*1/(x-2)
applying the law if indices we get
=(x+3)/(x-2)^(3/2)
Check the picture below.
you really have two rectangles, a 6x10 and a 6x5, and surely you know what those areas are, so sum them up, and that's the area of the polygon.
The y intercept is the value of y when x=0. Substituting we get
y = 4
Answer: 4
6.5 x 10 to the 3rd power
remember the base must be less than 10 and greather or equal to 1
