Answer:

x−2x4+2x3−7x2−8x+12=x3+4x2+x−6

The rational root theorem suggests that other possible roots may be -6, 6, -3, 3, -2, 2, -1, and 1. It turns out that x=-2x=−2 is a root, since (-2)^3+4(-2)^2+(-2)-6=0(−2)3+4(−2)2+(−2)−6=0 , so x+2x+2 is also a factor and we have

\dfrac{x^4+2x^3-7x^2-8x+12}{(x-2)(x+2)}=x^2+2x-3(x−2)(x+2)x4+2x3−7x2−8x+12=x2+2x−3

Finally, we can factorize the remaining quotient easily:

x^2+2x-3=(x+3)(x-1)x2+2x−3=(x+3)(x−1)

so the other factors are x+2x+2 , x+3x+3 , and x-1x−1 .

PLease answer !!! Find constants $A$ and $B$ such that \[\frac{x + 7}{x^2 - x - 2} = \frac{A}{x - 2} + \frac{B}{x + 1}\] for all

Xelga [282]

Answer:

1. $(A,B) = (3,-2)$

2. The values of t are: -3, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x + 7}{x^2 - x - 2} = \frac{A}{x - 2} + \frac{B}{x + 1}$

$|t| = 2t + 3$

Required

Solve for the unknown

Solving $\frac{x + 7}{x^2 - x - 2} = \frac{A}{x - 2} + \frac{B}{x + 1}$

Take LCM

$\frac{x + 7}{x^2 - x - 2} = \frac{A(x+1) + B(x-2)}{(x - 2)(x-1)}$

Expand the denominator

$\frac{x + 7}{x^2 - x - 2} = \frac{A(x+1) + B(x-2)}{x^2 - 2x + x -2}$

$\frac{x + 7}{x^2 - x - 2} = \frac{A(x+1) + B(x-2)}{x^2 - x -2}$

Both denominators are equal; So, they can cancel out

$x + 7 = A(x+1) + B(x-2)$

Expand the expression on the right hand side

$x + 7 = Ax + A + Bx - 2B$

Collect and Group Like Terms

$x + 7 = (Ax + Bx) + (A - 2B)$

$x + 7 = (A + B)x + (A - 2B)$

By Direct comparison of the left hand side with the right hand side

$(A + B)x = x$

$A - 2B = 7$

Divide both sides by x in $(A + B)x = x$

$A + B = 1$

Make A the subject of formula

$A = 1 - B$

Substitute 1 - B for A in $A - 2B = 7$

$1 - B - 2B = 7$

$1 - 3B = 7$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$1 - 1 - 3B = 7 - 1$

$-3B = 6$

Divide both sides by -3

$B = -2$

Substitute -2 for B in $A = 1 - B$

$A = 1 - (-2)$

$A = 1 + 2$

$A = 3$

Hence;

$(A,B) = (3,-2)$

Solving $|t| = 2t + 3$

Because we're dealing with an absolute function; the possible expressions that can be derived from the above expression are;

$t = 2t + 3$ and $-t = 2t + 3$

Solving $t = 2t + 3$

Make t the subject of formula

$t - 2t = 3$

$-t = 3$

Multiply both sides by -1

$t = -3$

Solving $-t = 2t + 3$

Make t the subject of formula

$-t - 2t = 3$

$-3t = 3$

Divide both sides by -3

$t = -1$

<em>Hence, the values of t are: -3, -1</em>

Given y=-3/4x-2. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular and has the point (-4,1)? Write answer in slope intercep

raketka [301]

Answer:

y=4/3+19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When it asks for perpendicular it means your focusing on the slope.

Perpendicular means opposite of the current slope, so flip it and change the sign (-3/4 changes to 4/3). Next you will use the equation (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

y1=the y value given

x1=the x value given

m=your slope

(y-1)=4/3(x+4) Since the x point is minus a negative we get to change the sign to a positive. Next distribute the 4/3 to each term in the parenthesis.

y-1=4/3(x)+4/3(4)

y-1=4/3x+16/3 Now we add the one to both sides.

+1 +1 The one isn't in teh correct format to just add so first imagine it as 1/1. Now to get the bottom to have a 3 like in 16/3 we just multiply the top and bottom by 3.

$\frac{1}{1} x\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{3}$ Now we can add this to the 16/3

$\frac{16}{3} +\frac{3}{3}=\frac{19}{3}$ We can now put this back into our equation.

y=4/3+19/3
