help

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[\frac{ y(x+y) }{ y(x-y) }=\frac{ x+y }{x-y }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you trying to figure out exactly?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

both are equal if you add the condition \(y \ne 0\)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

what do you mean?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i have just guessed, whats ur question exactly ? :)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

i know that they are equal.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

but my question is what would it be like if you distributed the Y in the first expression.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

The same.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

interesting, yeah we can disttribue.. nobody gona stop us from doing that. so ?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[\frac{ y(x+y) }{ y(x-y) }=\frac{ yx+y^2) }{ yx-y^2) }\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

would it be this?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

tRUE

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Looks good

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

They are equal

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[\frac{ y^2 }{ y^2 } = ?\]

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

1

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

how does that work?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\dfrac{a+b}{c+d} \ne \dfrac{a}{c} + \dfrac{b}{d}\]

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

3/3 = 1 assume y is a number y /y = 1

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

you are trying to distrbute y of something to y of things then each will take one

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

ahhh i understand now.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

but isn't it like this

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

a/c+d + b/c+D = a+b/c+D

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

3/3 why 1 ? each one will take one

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[\frac{ y^2 }{ y^2 } = y^0\]

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

y^0 = 1

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

ohhh i get it now!! omg i love you all thank you all <3<3

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):
