What is the difference A B C D

aksik [14]

Answer:

D. $\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is;

$\frac{x}{x^2+3x+2}-\frac{1}{(x+2)(x+1)}$

This is the same as;

$\frac{x}{(x+2)(x+1)}-\frac{1}{(x+2)(x+1)}$

The denominators are the same.

Subtract the numerators and write one denominator;

$\frac{x-1}{(x+2)(x+1)}}$

Rewrite to get;

$\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}}$

Show that 2x +1 is a factor of 2x3 +5x2+4x+1 and factories completely

larisa [96]

$\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}$

$\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1) +2x(2x+1) + (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2$
