Solving Rational Functions Hello I'm posting again because I really need help on this any help is appreciated!!

Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$\frac{3}{x + 4} - \frac{1}{x + 3} = \frac{x + 9}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

To solve this we need to remove the denominators.

Then we can first multiply both sides by (x + 4) to get:

$\frac{3*(x + 4)}{x + 4} - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3 - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x + 3)

$3*(x + 3) - \frac{(x + 4)*(x+3)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3*(x + 3) - (x + 4) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$(2*x + 5) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 7*x + 12)

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}*(x^2 + 7x + 12)$

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = (x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)$

Now we need to solve this:

we will get

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = (x^2 + 13*x + 3)*(x + 3)$

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9$

Then we get:

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 - ( x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9) = 0$

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = 0$

So now we only need to solve this.

We can see that the constant is 51.

Then one root will be a factor of 51.

The factors of -51 are:

-3 and -17

Let's try -3

p( -3) = (-3)^3 + 3*(-3)^2 + +17*(-3) + 51 = 0

Then x = -3 is one solution of the equation.

But if we look at the original equation, x = -3 will lead to a zero in one denominator, then this solution can be ignored.

This means that we can take a factor (x + 3) out, so we can rewrite our equation as:

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = (x + 3)*(x^2 + 17) = 0$

The other two solutions are when the other term is equal to zero.

Then the other two solutions are given by:

x = ±√17

And neither of these have problems in the denominators, so we can conclude that the solutions are:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Solve 3-(2x-5)<-4(x+2)

azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)

Reorder the terms in parentheses

3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+3-2x+5=-4x-8

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

-2x+4x=-8-3-5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+2x=-16

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.

x=-8

avanturin [10]

Answer:

No, the absolute value of a number is different from the opposite.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the absolute value of 4 is 4.

l4l = 4

But the opposite of 4 is -4.

Absolute value is ALWAYS positive, but the opposite of a positive number is a negative number.
