Given:

The expression is

\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{a^2-4}

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{a^2-4}

It can be written as

=\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{a^2-2^2}

=\dfrac{2}{a-2}-\dfrac{8}{(a-2)(a+2)}            [\because a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)]

Taking LCM, we get

=\dfrac{2(a+2)-8}{(a-2)(a+2)}

=\dfrac{2a+4-8}{(a-2)(a+2)}

=\dfrac{2a-4}{(a-2)(a+2)}

=\dfrac{2(a-2)}{(a-2)(a+2)}

Cancel out the common factors.

=\dfrac{2}{a+2}

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is \dfrac{2}{a+2}.

How do I find the x? Please and thank you!
maxonik [38]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two opposite interior angles that are opposite to the exterior angle are congruent as shown in the diagram.

Therefore, based on the exterior angle theorem of a triangle, we have the following equation:

2(7x + 2)° = (17x - 23)

14x + 4 = 17x - 23

Collect like terms

14x - 17x = -4 - 23

-3x = -27

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -27/-3

x = 9

Place the steps for finding f -1(x) f(x)=2x+5
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x+5

Step 1) Replace y = f(x)

y = 2x+5

Step 2) Exchange x and y

x =2y+5

Step 3) Solve for y

x =2y+5

Subtracting both sides by -5

x - 5= 2y

2y = x-5

Dividing both sides by 2

y = \frac{x-5}{2}

Step 4) Replace y = f^{-1}(x)

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-5}{2}

Please help me out with this literal equation
djyliett [7]
Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation to get
by+2=3c
Then subtract 2 from both sides to get
by=3c-2
Divide by b on both sides to get
y=(3c-2)/b
