Question

Affu it so hard question please help me

Answer 1

Answer:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{3x - 7}{ {x}^{2} - 5x + 6 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to simplify the following:

$\rm\displaystyle \frac{x - 1}{ {x}^{2} - 3x + 2 } + \frac{x - 2}{ {x}^{2} - 5x + 6} + \frac{x - 5}{ {x}^{2} - 8x + 15}$

to simplify algebraic expression the first step is to figure out the LCM of the denominator in order to do so we can factor the denominators therefore factor the denominators and work out the LCM

$\rm\displaystyle \frac{x - 1}{ (x - 1)(x - 2)} + \frac{x - 2}{ (x - 2)(x - 3)} + \frac{x - 5}{(x - 5)(x - 3)}$

reduce fraction:

$\rm\displaystyle \frac{1}{ x - 2} + \frac{1}{ x - 3} + \frac{1}{x - 3}$

figure out the LCM and divide it by the denominator and multiply the result with the numerator which yields:

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

simplify addition:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{3x - 7}{(x - 2)(x - 3)}$

further expansion if necessary:

$\rm \displaystyle \frac{3x - 7}{ {x}^{2} - 5x + 6 }$

Answer:

  (3x-7)/(x^2-5x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Not particularly hard, just tedious. You need to factor all the quadratics, cancel common factors, and combine terms using a common denominator.

  $\dfrac{x-1}{x^2-3x+2}+\dfrac{x-2}{x^2-5x+6}+\dfrac{x-5}{x^2-8x+15}\\\\=\dfrac{x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)}+\dfrac{x-2}{(x-2)(x-3)}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x-3)(x-5)}=\dfrac{1}{x-2}+\dfrac{1}{x-3}+\dfrac{1}{x-3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{x-2}+\dfrac{2}{x-3}=\dfrac{(x-3)+2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x-3)}=\dfrac{x-3+2x-4}{x^2-5x+6}\\\\\boxed{\dfrac{3x-7}{x^2-5x+6}}$
