A rational expression is undefined if the denominator is zero. Since the denominator is 
, the expression is undefined if
3x/(x+1) + (x+1)/(2x) + (5/x)
To find the least common denominator, we multiply the denominators that cannot factor into eachother. x, the denominator in 5/x, fits into 2x, so we do not need to multiply this number.
Therefore, the least common denominator is:
2x(x+1)
The first term will be multiplied by 2x/2x
The second term will be multiplied by (x+1)/(x+1)
The third term will be multiplied by 2(x+1)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 log 2+log (x-4)=log 2³+log (x-4)=log 8+log (x-4)=log 8(x-4)
Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.
We convert the given information to equations, step by step.
Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.
This means y is 1 mile more than x.
So,
y = 1 + x
Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection.
Distance between is x+ y.
So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.
x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2
From point 1 we have:
y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3
So,
Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.
0.3 inches per hour, if I did the math correctly.
