Answer:

The end result is -1/(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.

x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)

Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.

(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)

Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.

-1/(x + 1)

If m(x) =x+5/x-1 and n(x) = x - 3, which function has the same domain as (mºn)(x)?
GREYUIT [131]

We have

M(X) = (X + 5)/(X - 1)

N(X) = X - 3

So,

M(N(X)) =  [(X - 3) + 5]/[(X - 3) - 1]

<h3>M(N(X)) =  [X + 2]/[X - 4]</h3>

The M(N(X)) domain will be:

D = {X / X ≠ 4}

4 ∉ to the M(N(X)) domain, otherwise we would have a/0, which is not possible (a denominator with zero). An equivalent function would be

H(X) = 1/(X - 4)
