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)}

Shaan walks 2.5 meters per second. His brother Dhvan walks 1 meter
MissTica

Answer:

The race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Shaan walks 2.5 meters per second, while his brother Dhvan walks 1 meter per second, and Dhvan wants to have a race, and Shaan knows that he walks faster, but he wants to give his brother a head start of 45 meters, so it doesn't seem that he is allowing him to win, to determine how many meters long should the race be in order for Dhvan to win the following calculation must be performed:

45 / (2.5 - 1) = X

45 / 1.5 = X

30 = X

Therefore, the race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.

devlian [24]

Answer:

<h2>x = 140, y = 80</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=-2y+300&(1)\\3y=800-4x&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\3y=800-4(-2y+300)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\3y=800+(-4)(-2y)+(-4)(300)\\\\3y=800+8y-1200\\\\3y=8y-400\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8y\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-5y=-400\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-5)}\\\\y=80\\\\\text{Put it to (1):}\\\\x=-2(80)+300\\\\x=-160+300\\\\x=140
