Question

x/(x - 3) less than or equal to -8/(x - 6) Solve for x using any method

Answer 1

\[x \div(x - 3) \le -8/(x - 6)\]

Answer 2

I got to [(x - 1)(x + 2)]/[(x - 3)(x - 6) le 0 and dunno where to go from there.

Answer 3

I wish I could rage quit this class lol.

Answer 4

Your step wasn't exactly right. Look there:

Answer 5

before all you need push the conditions that x not can be equal 3 and 6 becouse than those fractions are undefined

so x/(x-3) +8/(x-6) <= 0
x(x-6)+8(x-3)<=0
x2-6x+8x-24<=0
x2 +2x -24<=0

Answer 6

x2 +2x -24=(x+6)(x-4)

Answer 7

so than x+6=0 so x=-6
and x-4=0 so x=4
those are zeros for this function

Answer 8

I'm trying to bring this all in lol

Answer 9

now you need check for what intervale(s) is less than zero
- becous you know that for -6 and 4 is equal zero

Answer 10

hope that was understandably

Answer 11

???

Answer 12

Gimme a sec

Answer 13

How do I check for what you said to do with the intervals??

Answer 14

ok try

Answer 15

Try what? I'm confused!

Answer 16

why ? you know that for 3 and 6 those fractions are undefined and for -6 and 4 are zeros

Answer 17

Yeah so how do I solve for x from there?

Answer 18

now you need get in what intervale are less than zero

Answer 19

so one function when is less than zero ?

Answer 20

you know that just when for this value of x the resulted number is negativ
- right ???

Answer 21

No I don't understand, I'm very sorry.

Answer 22

when one number is less than zero ?

Answer 23

comen i like to learned it

Answer 24

learne it sorry

Answer 25

what is your answer ?

Answer 26

sorry i need to go

Answer 27

Idk man I give up I have no idea what you're trying to tell me

Answer 28

why this is whery easy

Answer 29

your exercise what youn have wrote one function when is less or equal zero

Answer 30

becouse there is x/(x-3)+8/(x-6) <=0 after you add to both sides 8/(x-6)

Answer 31

I understand that the zeros are 4 and -6 and x can't = 3 or 6. I just dunno what the asnwer is from there

Answer 32

Fraction is <=0 when:
1. numerator is <=0 and denominator is >0
OR
2. numerator is >=0 and denominator is <0

Answer 33

now you need to check that for what intervale is less than zero ?

Answer 34

probe you understanding right what have wrote to you marina

Answer 35

I still don't get it lol omg this is so lame I give up.

Answer 36

I dont understand how to find the interval at all. This is going right over my head

Answer 37

Marina can you help this person ?

Answer 38

because i need to going now
