Answer:

4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{x² + 3x + 2} + \frac{3}{x + 1}$

To determine what the numerator would be, after simplifying both fractions, take the following steps:

Step 1: Factorise the denominator of the first fraction, x² + 3x + 2.

Thus,

x² + 2x + x + 2

(x² + 2x) + (x + 2)

x(x + 2) +1(x + 2)

(x + 1)(x + 2)

We would now have the following as our new fractions to add together and simplify:

$\frac{x}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{x + 1}$

Step 2: find the highest common factor of the denominator of both fractions.

Highest common factor of (x + 1)(x + 2) and (x + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 2)

Step 3: To add both fractions, divide the highest common factor gotten in step 2 by each denominator, and then multiply the result by the numerator of each fraction.

Thus,

$\frac{x}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{x + 1}$

$\frac{x + 3(x + 2)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}$

$\frac{x + 3x + 6)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}$

$\frac{4x + 6)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)}$

Therefore, the numerator of the simplified form sum of both fractions = 4x + 6

Derivative, by first principle<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Ctan%28%20%5Csqrt%7Bx%20%7D%20%29%20" id="TexFormula1"

$\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan x}h$

Employ a standard trick used in proving the chain rule:

$\dfrac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan x}{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}h$

The limit of a product is the product of limits, i.e. we can write

$\displaystyle\left(\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan x}{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}\right)\cdot\left(\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}h\right)$

The rightmost limit is an exercise in differentiating $\sqrt x$ using the definition, which you probably already know is $\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}$ .

For the leftmost limit, we make a substitution $y=\sqrt x$ . Now, if we make a slight change to $x$ by adding a small number $h$ , this propagates a similar small change in $y$ that we'll call $h'$ , so that we can set $y+h'=\sqrt{x+h}$ . Then as $h\to0$ , we see that it's also the case that $h'\to0$ (since we fix $y=\sqrt x$ ). So we can write the remaining limit as

$\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\tan\sqrt{x+h}-\tan\sqrt x}{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt x}=\lim_{h'\to0}\frac{\tan(y+h')-\tan y}{y+h'-y}=\lim_{h'\to0}\frac{\tan(y+h')-\tan y}{h'}$

which in turn is the derivative of $\tan y$ , another limit you probably already know how to compute. We'd end up with $\sec^2y$ , or $\sec^2\sqrt x$ .

So we find that

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\tan\sqrt x}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\sec^2\sqrt x}{2\sqrt x}$

If your salary is $42,500 and your federal income taxes are 10% of your salary, how much money will you owe this year in federal

Zarrin [17]

I'm assuming that the salary is for the whole year. If it is not, do tell me.
Tax = 10/100 * 45000
= 4500
You owe $4500 in federal taxes.
