- To simplify the rational expression, we factor both the numerator and denominator:
x2+11x+30=(x+5)(x+6)
x2−36=(x+6)(x−6)
Now the rational expression becomes:
x2−36x2+11x+30=(x+6)(x−6)(x+5)(x+6)
Since (x + 6) appears in both the numerator and denominator, we can cancel it out:
x2−36x2+11x+30=x−6x+5
- Let's solve each quadratic equation separately:
a) x2−10x2+9=0
Combine like terms: −9x2+9=0
Subtract 9 from both sides: −9x2=−9
Divide by -9: x2=1
Take the square root of both sides: x=±1
So the solutions are x=1 and x=−1.
b) 2(x+3)2−5(x+3)+2=0
Let y=x+3, then the equation becomes: 2y2−5y+2=0
Factor the quadratic: (2y−1)(y−2)=0
Set each factor to zero and solve for y:
2y−1=0⇒2y=1⇒y=21
y−2=0⇒y=2
Now substitute back y=x+3:
x+3=21⇒x=21−3⇒x=−25
x+3=2⇒x=2−3⇒x=−1
So the solutions are x=−25 and x=−1.
c) 2cxx+11+x−11=0
To solve this, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator is x2−1:
(x+1)(x−1)2cx(x−1)+(x+1)(x−1)(x+1)=0
Combine the fractions:
(x+1)(x−1)2cx(x−1)+(x+1)=0
Now we have:
2cx2−2cx+x+1=0
Rearrange and combine like terms:
2cx2+(1−2c)x+1=0
Now, this is a quadratic equation in terms of x. For the given equation to be true, the coefficients of the quadratic must be zero:
2c=0 (coefficient of x2)
