During his visit to London, George Orwell decided to ask everyone he talked to whether or not the cameras made them feel more se

cure. He found that 5/7 of the people he surveyed said that the cameras did make them feel more secure.
If 60 people said that the cameras made them feel secure, then how many people did Orwell survey in all?

Perform the following operations s and prove closure. Show your work.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

1. \frac{x}{x+3}+\frac{x+2}{x+5} = \frac{2x^2+10x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\

2. \frac{x+4}{x^2+5x+6}*\frac{x+3}{x^2-16} = \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-4)}

3. \frac{2}{x^2-9}-\frac{3x}{x^2-5x+6} = \frac{-3x^2-7x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}

4. \frac{x+4}{x^2-5x+6}\div\frac{x^2-16}{x+3} = \frac{1}{(x-2)(x-4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. \frac{x}{x+3}+\frac{x+2}{x+5}

Taking LCM of (x+3) and (x+5) which is: (x+3)(x+5)

=\frac{x(x+5)+(x+2)(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\=\frac{x^2+5x+(x)(x+3)+2(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{x^2+5x+x^2+3x+2x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{x^2+x^2+5x+3x+2x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{2x^2+10x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\

Prove closure: The value of x≠-3 and x≠-5 because if there values are -3 and -5 then the denominator will be zero.

2. \frac{x+4}{x^2+5x+6}*\frac{x+3}{x^2-16}

Factors of x^2-16 = (x)^2 -(4)^2 = (x-4)(x+4)

Factors of x^2+5x+6 = x^2+3x+2x+6 = x(x+3)+2(x+3) =(x+2)(x+3)

Putting factors

=\frac{x+4}{(x+3)(x+2)}*\frac{x+3}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-4)}

Prove closure: The value of x≠-2 and x≠4 because if there values are -2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.

3. \frac{2}{x^2-9}-\frac{3x}{x^2-5x+6}

Factors of x^2-9 = (x)^2-(3)^2 = (x-3)(x+3)

Factors of x^2-5x+6 = x^2-2x-3x+6 = x(x-2)+3(x-2) =(x-2)(x+3)

Putting factors

\frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)}-\frac{3x}{(x+3)(x-2)}

Taking LCM of (x-3)(x+3) and (x-2)(x+3) we get (x-3)(x+3)(x-2)

\frac{2(x-2)-3x(x+3)(x-3)}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}

=\frac{2(x-2)-3x(x+3)}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{2x-4-3x^2-9x}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{-3x^2-9x+2x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{-3x^2-7x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}

Prove closure: The value of x≠3 and x≠-3 and x≠2 because if there values are -3,3 and 2 then the denominator will be zero.

4. \frac{x+4}{x^2-5x+6}\div\frac{x^2-16}{x+3}

Factors of x^2-5x+6 = x^2-3x-2x+6 = x(x-3)-2(x-3) = (x-2)(x-3)

Factors of x^2-16 = (x)^2 -(4)^2 = (x-4)(x+4)

\frac{x+4}{(x-2)(x+3)}\div\frac{(x-4)(x+4)}{x+3}

Converting ÷ sign into multiplication we will take reciprocal of the second term

=\frac{x+4}{(x-2)(x+3)}*\frac{x+3}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\=\frac{1}{(x-2)(x-4)}

Prove Closure: The value of x≠2 and x≠4 because if there values are 2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.
