Subtract

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

Yes

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

Why ?

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

Multiply

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

@Mertsj helppp meee

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

@amistre64 hellllpppmeeee

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your best bet is to factor that left denominator, i think theres a x-2 hiding in it

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

i have no idea how to do this.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you have to be able to factor that one denominator

OpenStudy (amistre64):

factoring the top part would simplify it as well

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

but i dont know how to

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you should go back and read up on those sections ..... you are clearly not prepared to work the problem

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

Okey dokey

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you could give me something to work with other than " i cant, i dont know" and such that would be useful. otherwise this would take way to long to try to teach you on here

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

Alright umm on the first one whats my first step ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

look at the x^2 - 1, this is a setup that would be familiar of you could recall a difference of squares

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

ok. .

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the bottom of it, might factor into (x-2)(x+n) so foiling it should give us something to compare with

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

Like this ??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

like that yes :)

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

so umm you take (x-2)(x+n) and foil it ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i would, that would be the simplest way to compare what they have so that we can determine a value of "n"
