What is the simplified form of x minus 2 over x squared plus x minus 6divided byx squared plus 5x plus 4 over x plus 4?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have asked for the simpilfied form of ...

x-\dfrac{2}{x^2}+x-\dfrac{6}{x^2}+5x+\dfrac{4}{x}+4

That would be ...

\dfrac{7x^3+4x^2+4x-4}{x^2}

We suspect that's not what you meant. Parentheses are required for grouping when you write math expressions in text form. They work best using math symbols instead of words. We think you mean

... ((x -2)/(x^2 +x -6))/((x^2 +5x +4)/(x +4))

_____

Maybe you want to simplify ...

\displaystyle\frac{\left(\frac{x-2}{x^2+x-6}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^2+5x+4}{x+4}\right)}=\frac{(x-2)(x+4)}{(x-2)(x+3)(x+4)(x+1)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+3)}=\frac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

_____

<em>Comment on simplifying rational expressions</em>

Division of fractions works the same whether you're working with numbers or polynomials (or anything else). Dividing by something is the same as multiplying by its inverse (reciprocal).

(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c)

I learned this as "invert and multiply". I've recently seen it referred to as "copy dot flip", meaning you copy the numerator, use a dot symbol to indicate multipication, then flip the denominator (make its reciprocal) to become what you're multiplying by.

Chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies are randomly chosen from a cookie jar and placed onto a plate. The first plate had four
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

3 peanut cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Plate 1:

Number of chocolate chip = 4

Number of peanut butter cookies = 1

Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :

Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5

Plate 2:

Number of chocolate chip = 2

Number of peanut butter cookies = p

P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)

Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25

(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25

8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25

8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25

80 + 40p = 200

40p = 200 - 80

40p = 120

p = 3
