Answer:

<h2> $\frac{(x + 5)(x + 2)}{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$ </h2>

First option is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2x + 5}{ {x}^{2} - 3x } - \frac{3x + 5}{ {x}^{3} - 9x } - \frac{x + 1}{ {x}^{2} - 9 }$

Factor out X from the expression

$\frac{2x + 5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x + 5}{x( {x}^{2} - 9)} - \frac{x + 1}{ {x}^{2} - 9}$

Using ${a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a - b)(a + b)$ , factor the expression

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

Write all numerators above the Least Common Denominators x ( x - 3 ) ( x + 3 )

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

Multiply the parentheses

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - (3x + 5) - x(x + 1)}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

When there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - 3x - 5 - x \times (x + 1)}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Distribute -x through the parentheses

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - 3x - 5 - {x}^{2} - x }{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Using ${a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a + b)(a - b)$ , simplify the product

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - 3x - 5 - {x}^{2} - x}{x( {x}^{2} - 9)}$

Collect like terms

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 7x + 15 - 5}{x( {x}^{2} - 9)}$

Subtract the numbers

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 7x + 10}{ x({x}^{2} - 9)}$

Distribute x through the parentheses

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 7x + 10}{ {x}^{3} - 9x}$

Write 7x as a sum

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 5x +2x + 10 }{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$

Factor out X from the expression

$\frac{x(x + 5) + 2x + 10}{ {x}^{3} - 9x}$

Factor out 2 from the expression

$\frac{x( x + 5) + 2(x + 5)}{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$

Factor out x + 5 from the expression

$\frac{(x + 5)(x + 2)}{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!

Solve 2x2 + 20x = −38. (1 point)

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=-5+\sqrt{6}$ and $x=-5-\sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2x^{2} +20x=-38$

Divide by $2$ both sides

$x^{2} +10x=-19$ ------> $x^{2} +10x+19=0$

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2} +10x+19=0$

so

$a=1\\b=10\\c=19$

substitute

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{10^{2}-4(1)(19)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{100-76}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{24}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-10(+/-)2\sqrt{6}}{2}$

$x1=\frac{-10(+)2\sqrt{6}}{2}=-5+\sqrt{6}$

$x2=\frac{-10(-)2\sqrt{6}}{2}=-5-\sqrt{6}$
