Answer:

  • The simplified expression is: \frac{2m-5}{m-3}
  • The simplified expression is undefined for m=3

Explanation:

The given expression is:

\frac{2m^2+m-15}{m^2-9}

The numerator can be siplified by using factorization and denominator will be simplified using the formula

a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

So,

= \frac{2m^2+6m-5m-15}{(m)^2-(3)^2}\\=\frac{2m(m+3)-5(m+3)}{(m-3)(m+3)}\\=\frac{(2m-5)(m+3)}{(m-3)(m+3)}\\=\frac{2m-5}{m-3}

A fraction is undefined when the denominator is zero. In order to find the value of m on which the simplified fraction will be undefined we will put denominator equal to zero.

So,

m-3 = 0 => m = 3

Hence,

  • The simplified expression is: \frac{2m-5}{m-3}
  • The simplified expression is undefined for m=3

PLEASE HELP<br>what are some benefits of using graphic on web page?​
qwelly [4]

Images help tell a story where describing with words is either too lengthy, or practically impossible. For instance, you could have a map of a location and various arrows and other markings to describe movements of troops during a battle of the civil war. This is one example of many that you could have as an image on a website. Describing the troop movements with words only may be really difficult to do. Plus many people are visually oriented learners, so they benefit with images every now and then. Of course, it's best not to overdo things and overload the site with too many images. A nice balance is needed.
