It has become somewhat fashionable to have students derive the Quadratic Formula themselves; this is done by completing the square for the generic quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. While I can understand the impulse (showing students how the Formula was invented, and thereby providing a concrete example of the usefulness of abstract symbolic manipulation), the computations involved are often a bit beyond the average student at this point.
Answer: x - 5/x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
This algebraic fraction
The task to be performed here is factorisation and simplification. Now going by the question,
x² + 4x - 45/x² + 10x + 9, the factorisation of
x² + 4x - 45 = x² + 9x - 5x - 45
= x(x + 9 ) - 5(x + 9 )
= ( x + 9 )(x - 5 ), don't forget this is the algebraic fraction's Numerator
The second part
x² + 10x + 9 = x² + x + 9x + 9
= x(x + 1) + 9( x + 1 )
= ( x + 9 )( x + 1 ), this is the algebraic denominator.
Now place the second expression which is the denominator under the first expression which is the numerator.
( x + 9 )( x - 5 )/( x + 9 )( x + 1 ).
You can see that, ( x + 9 )/( x + 9 ) divide each other , therefore therr then cancelled and left with
x - 5/x + 1
Answer:
the pattern is +2, +6, +10, +14, +18 etc
so its in increment of 4
the rest is trivial
