Simplify the rational expression 16 x2x3 64 Perform the mu
Simplify the rational expression. 16 - x^2/x^3 - 64 Perform the multiplication or division and simplify. 4x/x^2 - 25. x + 5/16x
Solution
5)
(16-x2)/(x3-64)
=(42-x2)/(x3-43)
=[(4-x)(4+x)]/[(x-4)(x2+4x+42)]
=[-(x-4)(x+4)]/[(x-4)(x2+4x+42)]
=-(x+4)/(x2+4x+42)
=-(x+4)/(x2+4x+16)
6)
(4x/(x2-25)) .((x+5)/(16x))
=[4x(x+5)]/[16x(x2-25)]
=[4x(x+5)]/[16x(x2-52)]
=[4x(x+5)]/[16x(x+5)(x-5)]
=1/(4(x-5))
=1/(4x -20)
