Answer:

  (x, y) ≈ (1.1642, 3.3930) and (3.4358, -0.39297)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second.

  5x +4/y = 7

  4/y = 7 -5x

  4/(7 -5x) = y

Then the second equation becomes ...

  4x +x/(4/(7 -5x)) = 5

  4x +x(7 -5x)/4 = 5

  16x +7x -5x^2 = 20 . . . . . multiply by 4

  5x^2 -23x +20 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form

We can use the quadratic formula to solve this.

  x = (23±√((-23)² -4(5)(20)))/(2(5)) = (23±√129)/10

  x = 2.3 ±√1.29 ≈ {1.1642, 3.4358}

  y = 4/(7 -5x) = {3.3930, -0.39297}

Solutions are (x, y) ≈ (1.1642, 3.3930) and (3.4358, -0.39297).

Simplify (x + 2/ x^2 + 2x -3) / (x + 2/x^2 - x)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The simplest form is x/(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

* To simplify the rational Expression lets revise the factorization

  of the quadratic expression

*  To factor a quadratic in the form x² ± bx ± c:

- First look at the c term  

# If the c term is a positive number, and its factors are r and s they

  will have the same sign and their sum is b.

#  If the c term is a negative number, then either r or s will be negative

   but not both and their difference is b.

- Second look at the b term.  

# If the c term is positive and the b term is positive, then both r and

  s are positive.  

Ex: x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2)  

# If the c term is positive and the b term is negative, then both r and s

  are negative.  

Ex:  x² - 5x + 6 = (x -3)(x - 2)

# If the c term is negative and the b term is positive, then the factor

  that is positive will have the greater absolute value. That is, if

  |r| > |s|, then r is positive and s is negative.  

Ex: x² + 5x - 6 = (x + 6)(x - 1)

# If the c term is negative and the b term is negative, then the factor

  that is negative will have the greater absolute value. That is, if

  |r| > |s|, then r is negative and s is positive.

Ex: x² - 5x - 6 = (x - 6)(x + 1)

* Now lets solve the problem

- We have two fractions over each other

- Lets simplify the numerator

∵ The numerator is \frac{x+2}{x^{2}+2x-3}

- Factorize its denominator

∵  The denominator = x² + 2x - 3

- The last term is negative then the two brackets have different signs

∵ 3 = 3 × 1

∵ 3 - 1 = 2

∵ The middle term is +ve

∴ -3 = 3 × -1 ⇒ the greatest is +ve

∴ x² + 2x - 3 = (x + 3)(x - 1)

∴ The numerator = \frac{(x+2)}{(x+3)(x-2)}

- Lets simplify the denominator

∵ The denominator is \frac{x+2}{x^{2}-x}

- Factorize its denominator

∵  The denominator = x² - 2x

- Take x as a common factor and divide each term by x

∵ x² ÷ x = x

∵ -x ÷ x = -1

∴ x² - 2x = x(x - 1)

∴ The denominator = \frac{(x+2)}{x(x-1)}

* Now lets write the fraction as a division

∴ The fraction = \frac{x+2}{(x+3)(x-1)} ÷ \frac{x+2}{x(x-1)}

- Change the sign of division and reverse the fraction after it

∴ The fraction = \frac{(x+2)}{(x+3)(x-1)}*\frac{x(x-1)}{(x+2)}

* Now we can cancel the bracket (x + 2) up with same bracket down

 and cancel bracket (x - 1) up with same bracket down

∴ The simplest form = \frac{x}{x+3}

F(x)= (x+1)/2
xeze [42]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  g(f(x)) = x . . . so the functions are inverses

Step-by-step explanation:

Two functions f and g are inverses of each other if ...

  g(f(x)) = x   or   f(g(x)) = x

We are asked to evaluate g(f(x)). That will be x if the functions are inverses.

  g(f(x)) = g((x+1)/2) = 2((x +1)/2) -1 = (x +1) -1

  g(f(x)) = x . . . . the functions are inverses
