Answer:

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression: \frac{2x + 3}{x^2 - 5x + 4}, to express this in simplified form, we would need to apply the concept of partial fraction.

Step 1: factorise the denominator

x^2 - 5x + 4

x^2 - 4x - x + 4

(x^2 - 4x) - (x + 4)

x(x - 4) - 1(x - 4)

(x- 1)(x - 4)

Thus, we now have: \frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}

Step 2: Apply the concept of Partial Fraction

Let,

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}

Multiply both sides by (x - 1)(x - 4)

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} * (x - 1)(x - 4) = (\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}) * (x - 1)(x - 4)

2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)

Step 3:

Substituting x = 4 in 2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)

2(4) + 3 = A(4 - 4) + B(4 - 1)

8 + 3 = A(0) + B(3)

11 = 3B

\frac{11}{3} = B

B = \frac{11}{3}

Substituting x = 1 in 2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)

2(1) + 3 = A(1 - 4) + B(1 - 1)

2 + 3 = A(-3) + B(0)

5 = -3A

\frac{5}{-3} = \frac{-3A}{-3}

A = -\frac{5}{3}

Step 4: Plug in the values of A and B into the original equation in step 2

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}

\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}

Pedro has a bag of flour that weighs 9/10 pound. he uses 2/3 of the bag to make gravy. how many pounds of flour does pedro use t
BARSIC [14]
Here is the solution of the given problem above.
First, let's analyze the question. 
Given: 1 bag = 9/10 pound
            2/3 bag = ? pound
What we are going to do is to divide 9/10 pound to 3.
so 9/10 divided by 3 and we get 9/30 and to simplify that, 3/10.
So per 1/3 of the bag, there is 3/10 pound. 
To get the weight for 2/3 of the bag, we multiply 3/10 by 2 and we get 6/10 or to simplify it, it is 3/5. Therefore, the 2/3 bag weights 3/5 pound. Hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SV = RV

2x+2 = 10

x = 4

r² = RV² + VZ² = 10²+7.5² = 156.25

UZ = √[r²- (QR/2)²] = √[156.25 - 10²] = √56.25 = 7.5
