familiar wid factoring quadratics ?
To some degree, yes.
that wil do :) u seeing FOUR quadratics in the given expression right ?
factor each of them first
\(\large \frac{d^2+d-30}{d^2+3d-40} + \frac{d^2+14d+48}{d^2-2d-48}\)
lets factor \(\large d^2+d-30\) :
can u ?
just find two numbers that satisfy below : 1) product = -30 2) sum = 1
Is product the answer when multiplied and the sum the answer to addition
yes !
Then would it just be -5 times 6 = -30 and -5 + 6 = 1
Correct !!
factor it now : \(\large d^2+d-30 = (d+6)(d-5)\)
fine ?
Um... do I foil that?
nope. leave it like that
similarly if u factor other 3 quadratics also, the given expression becomes : \(\large \frac{d^2+d-30}{d^2+3d-40} + \frac{d^2+14d+48}{d^2-2d-48}\) after factoring all quadratic u wud get : \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-5)}{(d+8)(d-5)} + \frac{(d+8)(d+6)}{(d-8)(d+6)}\)
canceling watever u can : \(\large \frac{d+6}{d+8} + \frac{d+8}{d-8}\)
see if you're okays still
\[\frac{ d+6 }{ d-8 }\] ?
noo, it wont cancel like that
next u need to find common
next u need to find common denominator, and add numerators. let me show u
Ooooh... ok then
simplify the numerator
How did you get the second to the last part?
i just multiplied and divided first fraction wid (d-8)
and did the same to second fraction wid (d+8)
so that, we get the common denominator for both fractions
\(\large \frac{d^2+d-30}{d^2+3d-40} + \frac{d^2+14d+48}{d^2-2d-48}\) after factoring all quadratic u wud get : \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-5)}{(d+8)(d-5)} + \frac{(d+8)(d+6)}{(d-8)(d+6)}\) canceling watever u can : \(\large \frac{d+6}{d+8} + \frac{d+8}{d-8}\) \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-8)}{(d+8)(d+8)} + \frac{(d+8)(d+8)}{(d-8)(d+8)}\) \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-8) + (d+8)(d+8)}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-8) + (d+8)^2}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) \(\large \frac{d^2 -2d -48 + d^2+16d + 64}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) \(\large \frac{2d^2 +14d + 16}{(d+8)(d-8)} \)
see if this makes sense... ^^
Everything's making sense to me except I kind of got lost where it said 14d... I'm not entirealy sure as to where that came from.
good :) u fine till below : \(\large \frac{d^2 -2d -48 + d^2+16d + 64}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) ?
Yes sir
\(\large \frac{d^2 \color{green}{-2d} -48 + d^2\color{green}{+16d} + 64}{(d+8)(d-8)} \)
combine those two terms
Ohhhh I understand it now
good
Thank you kind stranger lol [:
