Example Question #5 :Rational Expressions
Simplify the following rational expression: (9x - 2)/(x2) MINUS (6x - 8)/(x2)
Since both expressions have a common denominator, x2,我们可以再抄写分母和关注the numerators. We get (9x - 2) - (6x - 8). We must distribute the negative sign over the 6x - 8 expression which gives us 9x - 2 - 6x + 8 ( -2 minus a -8 gives a +6 since a negative and negative make a positive). The numerator is therefore 3x + 6.
Example Question #6 :Rational Expressions
Simplify the following rational expression:
Since both fractions in the expression have a common denominator of
Example Question #7 :Rational Expressions
Simplify the following expression:
Since both terms in the expression have the common denominator
Example Question #8 :Rational Expressions
Simplify the following rational expression:
Since both rational terms in the expression have the common denominator
Example Question #2 :How To Add Rational Expressions With A Common Denominator
Combine the following rational expressions:
When working with complex fractions, it is important not to let them intimidate you. They follow the same rules as regular fractions!
In this case, our problem is made easier by the fact that we already have a common denominator. Nothing fancy is required to start. Simply add the numerators:
For our next step, we need to combine like terms. This is easier to see if we group them together.
Thus, our final answer is:
Example Question #2431 :一个ct Math
If x = y – 3, then (y – x)3.=
–9
27
9
3.
–27
27
Solve for equation for y – x = 3. Then, plug in 3 into (y – x)3.= 27.
Example Question #2432 :一个ct Math
When graphed in the (x,y) coordinate plane, at what point do the lines -2x + 4y = 5 and y = -2 intersect?
(2,-2)
(-13/2,-2)
(13/2,2)
(13/2,-2)
(-13/2,-2)
Plugging in y=-2 in the second equation, gives x=-13/2. This is the point where the graphs intersect.
Example Question #2433 :一个ct Math
The length in cm of a plastic container is 5cm less than triple its width. Which of the following equations is an accurate description of the length, l, as a function of the width, w?
l =1/3.w + 5
l =1/3.w – 5
l = 3w – 5
l = 3w + 5
l =5/3.w +3./5
l = 3w – 5
This problem requires the development of an equation. We are told that the length is 5cm less than 3 times its width. So we should set up an equation that describes this situation. The equation l = 3w – 5 demonstrates how the length is 5 cm less than 3 times the width of the container.
Example Question #2434 :一个ct Math
The expression x(9 + x)(x – 2) = 4 is a polynomial of which degree?
0
2
3.
4
1
3.
The highest power this polynomial can achieve is 3.
Example Question #2435 :一个ct Math
Given thatx= 2 andy= 3, how much less is the value of 3x2– 2ythan the value of 3y2– 2x?
29
1
17
6
47
17
First, we solve each expression by plugging in the given values forxandy:
3.(22) – 2(3) = 12 – 6 = 6
3.(32) – 2(2) = 27 – 4 = 23
Then we find the difference between the first and second expressions’ values:
23 – 6 = 17
