X/(x-2) + (x-1)/(x+1) = -1 How to solve?

1 answer:

7 0

Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1

Describe how (2^3)(2^-4) can be simplified

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Add the exponents and keep the bases the same. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying exponents with the same base number, you can add the powers. (If it was dividing, you would subtract the powers). You would then get $2^{-1}$ .

2³ = 8,
2² = 4,
2^1 = 2,
2^0 = 1

The pattern is to divide by 2. This means that $2^{-1}$ would be 1 ÷ 2 which is 1/2.

Tip: Any number to the power of -1 means to give its reciprocal.

Hope this helps!
