OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/(x-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if i understood your expression correctly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get to that? im not sure what to do with that fraction
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm
(1/(x-2)+1)/(x-1)
=((x-1)/(x-2))/(x-1)
=1/(x-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get that x-1/x-2?

hi do you wan to learn resolving this ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure!
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok let s go how do you begin it ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
do you know the property of exponentes ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
somewhat

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
write me please your exercise newly here
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
can you write it ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um i can write it best i can like i did in the question? when i get to( (1/x-2) + 1)/(x-1) im not sure what to do after
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so there is (1/x-2)+1)/(x-1) this is sure ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
write me please your exercise exactly like firstly here

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
for i can explain to you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think so....? wait im confused as to what you are asking? ((x-2)^-1-(-1)^-1)/(x-1)??
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
this is sure like ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok so
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
there is (x-2) on the exponent -1 what sign this ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
this is equal ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/x-2
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok and (-1) on exponent -1 =?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
no no

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
if x on exponent -1=
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
comen i wan to learn you it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ummm was it 1/-1?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes right
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok now continue

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
there is -(-1) on exponent -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok 1/(x-2) -1 / (x-1)
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
no no
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
you have wrote -1 on exponent -1 = 1/-1 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/(x-2) +1 / (x-1)?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes so when there are two fractions with denominators differents
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so you need getting the denominator common
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
what will be in this case ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay so i multiply them by a common den.
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
no firstly tell me what will be the denominator common

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
comen courage !!!
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
write me what you have wrote there in your last sentence
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
are you there again ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
dont give up now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahhh sorry X( umm..(x+2)...i have to go soon!

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
(x-2)(x-1) is the denominator common so than what you need to do ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
multiply both fractions by that
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
by what ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x-2)(x-1). I am positive i got it now! thankyoou sooo much for helping me! I have to go
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok if you know what you need to do in continue all is right
Bye
