At a sale, each book was marked $3.00 off the original price. Daniel paid $46.00 for two books that had the same sale price. Wha

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The answer would be $26.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into consideration that Daniel has 2 books and is paying $46.00 with the discounted prices, we can say that if there was no discount, the full price would be $52, since there's 2 books, it would be 3•2= 6 and $49 + 6 = $52. Now knowing the original pricing for two books, we can now divide the number by 2 and get $26.00.

Simplify each rational expression to lowest terms, specifying the values of xx that must be excluded to avoid division

k0ka [10]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

(c) $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$ .The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

(d) $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2.

(e) $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}=x+\frac{-x+1}{x^2+1}$ . The domain of this function is all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce each rational expression to lowest terms you must:

(a) For $\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-6x+5\\\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x^2-x\right)+\left(-5x+5\right)\\x^2-6x+5=x\left(x-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x-1\\x^2-6x+5=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x^2-3x-10=x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}x+2\\x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:x-5\\\\\frac{x^2-6x+5}{x^2-3x-10}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$

The denominator in a fraction cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined. So we need to figure out what values of the variable(s) in the expression would make the denominator equal zero.

To find any values for x that would make the denominator = 0 you need to set the denominator = 0 and solving the equation.

$x^2-3x-10=\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

$x+2=0\\x=-2\\\\x-5=0\\x=5$

The domain is the set of all possible inputs of a function which allow the function to work. Therefore the domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2 or 5.

(b) For $\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{x^3}{x^3}=1$

Quotient = 1

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:by\:}1:\:x^3+2x^2-x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^3+2x^2-x\mathrm{\:from\:}x^3+3x^2+3x+1\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}$

Remainder = $x^2+4x+1}$

$\frac{x^3+3x^2+3x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}=1+\frac{x^2+4x+1}{x^3+2x^2-x}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 0, $-1+\sqrt{2}$ or $-1+\sqrt{2}$ .

$x^3+2x^2-x=0\\\\x^3+2x^2-x=x\left(x^2+2x-1\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2+2x-1=0:\quad x=-1+\sqrt{2},\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}$

(c) For $\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}$

$x^2-16=\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)$

$x^2+2x-8= \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)$

$\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}\\\\\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+2x-8}=\frac{x-4}{x-2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to 2 or -4.

$x^2+2x-8=0\\\\x^2+2x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)=0$

(d) For $\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}$

$\mathrm{Factor}\:x^2-3x-10\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(-5x-10\right)\\x\left(x+2\right)-5\left(x+2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:cube\:of\:sum\:rule:\:}a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3=\left(a+b\right)^3\\\\a=x,\:\:b=2\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3$

$\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x+2\right)^3}\\\\\frac{x^2-3x-10}{x^3+6x^2+12x+8}=\frac{x-5}{\left(x+2\right)^2}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers not equal to -2

$x^3+6x^2+12x+8=0\\\\x^3+6x^2+12x+8=\left(x+2\right)^3=0\\x=-2$

(e) For $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}$

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

The domain of this function is all real numbers.

$x^2+1=0\\x^2=-1\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-1},\:x=-\sqrt{-1}$
