simplifying rational expressions which of the following is equal to therational expression when x=3 or -10 (x+5)(x-3)/(x-3)(x+10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain this to me pleaseeee..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like before, the denominator can't be 0, so when x = -10, it's undefined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when x= 3, the numerator turns into 0, that works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when \[x \neq 3\] or -10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im soo lost?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, I was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when x = 3, it becomes undefined as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x can't be 3 or -10.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you can just simplify the expression by cancel x-3 from the numerator and denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its x+5/x+10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your answer is (x+5)/(x+10). You are right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayyyyy thanks
