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.

Evaluate f(t)=-2t2+ 1 for f(-3).
podryga [215]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plug-in f(-3) into t in the function:

f(-3)=-2(-3) +1

Second, multiply -2 and -3 to get 6:

f(-3)=-2(-3)+1⇒f(-3)=6+1

Third, add 6 and 1 to get your answer:

f(-3)= 6+1⇒f(-3)=7

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 0) and has
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2 , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 0 ) into the partial equation

0 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 4 = 4

y = 2x + 4 ← equation of line
