Factoring we get 

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

The excluded value is x = -1

Answer:  The required value of x is x=-1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the excluded value for the following rational expression:

E=\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x^2+2x+1}.

First, we need to factorize both numerator and denominator and then we should check the values of x for which the expression becomes undefined.

We have

E\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x^2+2x+1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+2x+x+2}{x^2+x+x+1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{x(x+2)+1(x+2)}{x(x+1)+1(x+1)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+1)}.

Now, we can cancel (x+1) by (x+1), only if x\neq 1, because

if x=-1, then  x+1=0 and we cannot divide 0 by 0.

Therefore, if x\neq 1, then

E=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{x+2}{x+1},

which is again well-defined because x\neq -1 and so the denominator never become zero.

Thus, the excluded value of x is  x=-1.

What is the decimal equivalent of an 11% increase
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

You would convert the percentage to a fraction. Since the % symbol means 'out of 100', you would put 11 over 100: 11/100.

Then you would convert the fraction to a decimal: 0.11.

An easier way could also be to take the percentage and move it two decimal places to the right.

Ex: 43% moved two decimal places to the right would be 0.43.

I hope this helps!

Translate the point (5,2)—> 3 units to the left
VladimirAG [237]

Given:

The point (5,-2) is translated 3 units to the left.

To find:

The new location of the point.

Solution:

If a point is translated 3 units to the left, then

(x,y)\to (x-3,y)

Using this rule of translation, we get

(5,-2)\to (5-3,-2)

(5,-2)\to (2,-2)

Therefore, the new location of the point is (2,-2). Hence, the correct option is C.

sergejj [24]
Frank will use 3/8 cup of sugar, 61 1/2 cups of flour, and 9 eggs. I know this because...

3/4 divided by 2 is 3/8
20 1/2 times 3 is 61 1/2
3 times 3 is 9
