I have a couple questions can someone help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ (x ^{2}+3)-2 }\] Im not sure how to simplify this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello!! i CAN HELP U OUT..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you could you help my with that first question I posted because I dont even know where to start this that one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start wuth the equation..\[y =mx +c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay should I find the slop in all the tables and put it into that formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put values of y and x and find the values of m and c!,,This will get u to the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I'll try it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah! tell me fast..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I did. Did I do it right? \[m=\frac{ 1-3 }{ 2-5 }=\frac{ -2 }{ -3 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] \[y=mx+b= ......1=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }+b= \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I got\[y=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope!..you have to check for two values!...like u found the slope correctly in first table..but now if you choose 2nd and 3rd column to find the slope..it will be different than 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Table 3 is a linear function...u can choose any two columns to find the slope..and ur answer will be same!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh now that makes sense thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a linear function has a constant slope. this is the whole point of problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didnt think of it that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you again(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont mention it! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mow about your 2nd question...in what way you wanna simplify it?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

**Now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the second question that i was having trouble on I kinda got it. This is what I think it is could you check if Im right? [\frac{ 1 }{ (x ^{2}+3)-2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ (x ^{2}+3)-2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how exactly did u do it?! u gave me a doubt..lol! (f.g)(x) is same as f(x).g(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I dont know how to describe it but i kinda put f(x) into f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

into g(x)***

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha no!..its wrong!..i think u meant g(x) in f(x) or vice versa..those are different functions they are defines as f(f(x)) or f(g(x))...this is different.get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im so confused lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait... Im not here to confuse u! :)
