find the excluded value pls...medal

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

(3x^2+5x-8)/(6x+16)*(4x^2+x)/(3x^2-3x)

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

@Australopithecus @jdoe0001 @pooja195 @TheSmartOne @Awolflover1

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

2/(x^2-1)+x/(x^2-2x+1)

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

@Astrophysics

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

let me rewrite that \(\Large \frac{(3x^2+5x-8)}{(6x+16)} \times \frac{(4x^2+x)}{(3x^2-3x)}\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

that's what you have?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

for excluded values you look at what makes the denominator equal to zero

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

but before doing so we would like to simplify first factoring if possible

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

the answer was (3x^33-8)(4x+1)/6(3x+8)(x-1) @xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

can we factor \(3x^2+5x-8\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

answer for what?

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

yes we can factor that @xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so what are the factors

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

(3x+8)(x-1) @xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so we have \(\Large \frac{(3x+8)(x-1)}{(6x+16)}\times \frac{(4x+1)}{3(x-1)}\) \(\Large \frac{(3x+8)(4x+1)}{3(6x+16)}\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so what make denominator now equal to 0

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

6x+16=0 ===> x=-16/6 x=-8/3

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

excluded value -8/3

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

ok thanks can you help with the secondequation @xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

actually i have to go for some time i fasting i need to go eat :)
