can someone please show me step by step how to add and simplify these two functions: f(x)=sqrt((x^2) -4) + g(x)=x^2/((x^2)+1)
A minute please
sure:)
Belay my last.
I don't believe it is simplifyable
well i figured you can add them algebraicly but i dunno if you can simplify it more. when i added them together i got this: \[((x^2+1)(\sqrt{(x^2-4)}) +x^2)/(x^2+1)\]
Yeah, and then you could distribute the sqrt(x^2 - 4)
what do you mean by distrubute?
I gave you a link to show you
you mean this : \[\sqrt{(x+2)(x-2)}\] ?
No, that's factoring
Did you click on that link yet?
but isnt that just a different form of my answer because nothing is simplified, everything is just moved around
Yeah, exactly. Like I said, I don't believe it is simplifyable. However, it is expandable
oh alright thanks:) i thought it was just me being silly thinking its not simplify-able. well then makes me feel better that i didnt get that wrong :)
