ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

familiar wid factoring quadratics ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To some degree, yes.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that wil do :) u seeing FOUR quadratics in the given expression right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

factor each of them first

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \frac{d^2+d-30}{d^2+3d-40} + \frac{d^2+14d+48}{d^2-2d-48}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets factor \(\large d^2+d-30\) :

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just find two numbers that satisfy below : 1) product = -30 2) sum = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is product the answer when multiplied and the sum the answer to addition

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then would it just be -5 times 6 = -30 and -5 + 6 = 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct !!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

factor it now : \(\large d^2+d-30 = (d+6)(d-5)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fine ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um... do I foil that?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope. leave it like that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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 : \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-5)}{(d+8)(d-5)} + \frac{(d+8)(d+6)}{(d-8)(d+6)}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

canceling watever u can : \(\large \frac{d+6}{d+8} + \frac{d+8}{d-8}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if you're okays still

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ d+6 }{ d-8 }\] ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

noo, it wont cancel like that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

next u need to find common

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

next u need to find common denominator, and add numerators. let me show u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooooh... ok then

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get the second to the last part?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i just multiplied and divided first fraction wid (d-8)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and did the same to second fraction wid (d+8)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so that, we get the common denominator for both fractions

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \frac{d^2+d-30}{d^2+3d-40} + \frac{d^2+14d+48}{d^2-2d-48}\) 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 : \(\large \frac{d+6}{d+8} + \frac{d+8}{d-8}\) \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-8)}{(d+8)(d+8)} + \frac{(d+8)(d+8)}{(d-8)(d+8)}\) \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-8) + (d+8)(d+8)}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) \(\large \frac{(d+6)(d-8) + (d+8)^2}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) \(\large \frac{d^2 -2d -48 + d^2+16d + 64}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) \(\large \frac{2d^2 +14d + 16}{(d+8)(d-8)} \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if this makes sense... ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :) u fine till below : \(\large \frac{d^2 -2d -48 + d^2+16d + 64}{(d+8)(d-8)} \) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes sir

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \frac{d^2 \color{green}{-2d} -48 + d^2\color{green}{+16d} + 64}{(d+8)(d-8)} \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

combine those two terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh I understand it now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you kind stranger lol [:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol you're welcome smart student :)
