HELP?


Which of the following is the simplified form of x plus 5 over x squared minus 25 times the fraction x minus 5 over x squared minus 10 x plus 25 ?

1 over the quantity x minus 5 end quantity squared

1 over the quantity x plus 5 end quantity squared

1 over x squared minus 25

1 over x squared plus 25

Answer 1

x plus 5 = (x+5)
over = /
x squared minus 25 times the fraction x minus 5 over x squared minus 10 x plus 25 x^2 - 25((x-5)/(x^2 - 10x+25)

Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

\[(x+5)/x^2 - 25((x-5)/(x^2 - 10x+25))\]

Answer 4

unfactor everything until you get what ever is on the top. In this case ...(x+5)

Answer 5

x^2−25((x−5)= (x+5)(x-5)(x-5)

Answer 6

ok...

Answer 7

x^2−10x+25 = (x-5)(x-5)

Answer 8

now just cancel out top from bottom. Any like terms like (x-5) or (x+5)

Answer 9

OK?

Answer 10

I got D.

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

That's right?

Answer 13

believe so

Answer 14

Alright, thanks.

then you are probably right, so A it is.

Answer 25

Okay wait show me your equation

Answer 26

mine?

Answer 27

Yes

Answer 28

\[\frac{ x+5 }{ x^2-25 }\times \frac{ x-5 }{ x^2-10+25 }\]

Answer 29

Oh.. dangit.

Answer 30

\[(x+5)/x^2−25((x−5)/(x^2−10x+25)) = x+5/((x-5)(x-5))((x-5)/(x-5)(x-5))\]

Answer 31

@dreamer05 with that equation we end up with \[\frac{ 1 }{ (x-5)^2 }\]

Answer 32

So it was a

Answer 33

You sure??

Answer 34

yup

Answer 35

Haha, sorry about that

Answer 36

@rmrjr22 you should try using the fraction function.. it'll make things easier to read

Answer 37

haha yeah noticed

Answer 38

cus one was \[\frac{ 1 }{ x^2-10+25 }\]

Answer 39

Good work guys

Answer 40

So it is A.? Cu that;s A answer.
