PLEASE HELP!!! What is the simplified form of 5/3y+2 - 4/9y^2-4
a) 15y-6/(3y-2)(3y+2) b) 15y-6/(3y+2)(3y+2) c) 15y-14/(3y+2)(3y-2) d) 15y-14/(3y+2)(3y+2)
9y^2-2 = (3y-2)(3y+2) so 5/3y+2 - 4/9y^2-4 = 5/(3y+2) - 4/((3y+2)(3y-2)) so we multiply the left by (3y-2) on top and bottom so that we can have a common denominator (5(3y-2)-4)/((3y-2)(3y+2))
can you simplify?
just simplify the top 5(3y-2)-4
@danny562 ?
you should participate :)
@zzr0ck3r ATTENTION !!! in your first answer there need being -4 and not -2 !!! ok ? correct it please !!!
right 9y^2-4 = (3y)^2-2^2 = (3y-2)(3y+2)
@danny562 so do you understand it ,can you solve it now ?
so just continue it with this 5(3y-2)-4 = ?
so = 15y-10 -4 = 15y -14 and for denominator will be (3y-2)(3y+2) so if you check these choises you see what will be right ... ok ? wait your answer ---
are you here ?
im lost
???
are you here now ?
5/3y+2-4/9y^2-4 or,5/3y+2-4/3y^2-2^2 or,5/3y+2-4/(3y+2)(3y-2) or,5(3y-2)-4/(3y+2)(3y-2) or,15y-10-4/(3y+2)(3y-2) or15y-14/(3y+2)(3y-2)
@Spynextdoor ATTENTION !!! in the second line the denominator of second fraction so not is right you have missed there an parentheses not is just y squared the 3 is squared too ok ?
