HELP PLEASE Simplify the rational expression. State any excluded values. x^2-12x+35/x^2-3x-10

1 answer:

5 0

$\frac{{x}^{2} - 12x + 35 }{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 10 }$
Factorise both the term by splitting the mid term and you'll get

$\frac{ {x}^{2} - 5x - 7x + 35}{ {x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 } \\ = \frac{x(x - 5) - 7(x - 5)}{x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)} \\ = \frac{(x - 7)(x - 5)}{(x + 2)(x - 5)} \\ = \frac{x - 7}{x + 2}$

Write the absolute value inequality in the form |x-b| c that has the solution set x<-5 or x>7.

Daniel [21]

Answer:
|x - 1| > 6
Step-by-step explanation:
b is the centre:
(-5 + 7)/2
2/2 = 1
b = 1
c is the distance from the centre
c = 7 - 1 = 6
Since it's an or case, > with the modulus
|x - 1| > 6

Consider the function f(x) = square root of x+3

daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

f'(x) is usually used in calculus to denote the first derivative of f(x) so f'(2) will simply be the first derivative of f(2).

f(x)=x+3

f'(x)=1

thus x does affect the first derivative and your answer for f'(x)=1
