Javier works in a photo lab and needs to make a reduced copy of a photograph that is 8 inches long. The customer wants the copy

to have a length of 4.5 inches. Each time he presses the reduce button on the copier, the copy is reduced by 12%. Javier and his boss had an argument, because Javier claimed that pressing the button 5 times would be enough to fulfill the customer's request. His boss said that pressing the button 5 times would result in a length less than the desired 4.5 inches. Which of the following conclusions can be made?

The boss is correct because if you press the button 5 time knowing that if u press it one time it is going to have the photo at 7.04 inches so if you keep going by the time you get to 5 times it is going to about 4.22 so you would have had to press it 4 times which would equal 5.4 inches

Not good with factoring could use a hand.
MrRa [10]

The only factoring you need to do is already done for you:

<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12 = (<em>x</em> + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3)

What you're asked to do is decompose

(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12)

into partial fractions, i.e. find <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> such that

(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12) = <em>a</em> / (<em>x</em> + 4) + <em>b</em> / (<em>x</em> - 3)

Multiply both sides by <em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12 :

3<em>x</em> - 4 = <em>a</em> (<em>x</em> - 3) + <em>b</em> (<em>x</em> + 4)

3<em>x</em> - 4 = (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + (-3<em>a</em> + 4<em>b</em>)

So we have

<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 3

-3<em>a</em> + 4<em>b</em> = -4

and solving this system gives

<em>a</em> = 16/7 and <em>b</em> = 5/7

so you should submit the numbers in bold:

(3<em>x</em> - 4) / (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 12) = 16 / (7 (<em>x</em> + 4)) + 5 / (7 (<em>x</em> - 3))

-1 C, that's the only logical answer I can think of. Or does it have to be in F?
