Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 < -3/4. Another way in which to do this would be to use the LCD:
-8/4 < -3/4.
Even though 8 has a larger magnitude than does 3, -8/4 is smaller than -3/4. On the number line, -8/4 (or -2) is to the left of -3/4.
Answer:
if they are equal then it would be 6.5
To answer this we need the coordinates of the first three points.
By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
