How can you solve a rational equation without graphing?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

To figure out the common denominator for these fractions, I'll first need to factor that quadratic in the denominator on the right-hand side of the rational equation. This will also allow me to find the disallowed values for this equation. Factoring gives me:

x2 – 6x + 8 = (x – 4)(x – 2)

The factors of the quadratic on the right-hand side "just so happen" to be duplicates of the other denominators. This often happens in these exercises. (So often, in fact, that if you get completely different factors, you should probably go back and check your work.)

Which of the following is the point and slope of the equation y - 11 = 3(x + 13)?

4vir4ik [10]

The answer is A.

The equation simplifies to y=3x+50.
So, C is already not an option.

Now we just plug in points to see if the point works for the equation.

A-11=3(-13)+50
11=-39+50

11=11

Thus, this point falls on the line of this equation and is a point.

So, the answer is A.

I hope this helps!
