Q. Subtract.The numerator should be expanded and simplified. The denominator should be either expanded or factored.9x2−45x4−x2−256x=
Identify Denominator Structure: First, we need to identify the structure of the denominators in both fractions to see if they can be factored.The first denominator is 9x2−45x, which can be factored by taking out the common factor of 9x, resulting in 9x(x−5).The second denominator is x2−25, which is a difference of squares and can be factored into (x+5)(x−5).
Factor Denominators: Now that we have factored the denominators, we can rewrite the expression with these factors: 9x(x−5)4−(x+5)(x−5)6x
Rewrite with Factored Denominators: To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) for these two fractions is 9x(x−5)(x+5).We will rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
Find Common Denominator: The first fraction already has 9x(x−5) in the denominator, so we only need to multiply the second fraction by 9x9x to get the LCD in the denominator:9x(x−5)4−(x+5)(x−5)⋅9x6x⋅9x
Simplify Fractions: Now we simplify the second fraction:(4)/(9x(x−5))−(54x2)/((x+5)(x−5)⋅9x)
Combine Like Terms: We can now subtract the fractions since they have the same denominator: egin{equation}\frac{4 - 54x^2}{9x(x - 5)(x + 5)}\end{equation}
Factorize Numerator: Next, we expand the numerator to combine like terms: egin{equation}\frac{4 - 54x^2}{9x(x^2 - 25)}\end{equation}
Cancel Common Factors: We can simplify the numerator by factoring out a −2 (since 4 is not divisible by 54, but we can take out the negative to make the x2 term positive):9x(x2−25)−2×(27x2−2)
Final Simplified Form: Now we can cancel out the common factor of 9x in the numerator and denominator: (−2×(27x2−2))/(9x×(x2−25)) = (−2(27x2−2))/(9x(x+5)(x−5)) = (−2×3×(9x2−1))/(9x(x+5)(x−5)) = (−6×(9x2−1))/(9x(x+5)(x−5))
Final Simplified Form: Now we can cancel out the common factor of 9x in the numerator and denominator: (−2∗(27x2−2))/(9x∗(x2−25)) = (−2(27x2−2))/(9x(x+5)(x−5)) = (−2∗3∗(9x2−1))/(9x(x+5)(x−5)) = (−6∗(9x2−1))/(9x(x+5)(x−5))Finally, we cancel out the common factor of 9x in the numerator and denominator: (−6∗(9x2−1))/(9x(x+5)(x−5)) = (−6/9)∗((9x2−1)/(x(x+5)(x−5))) = (−2/3)∗((9x2−1)/(x(x+5)(x−5)))
Final Simplified Form: Now we can cancel out the common factor of 9x in the numerator and denominator: 9x×(x2−25)−2×(27x2−2) = 9x(x+5)(x−5)−2(27x2−2) = 9x(x+5)(x−5)−2×3×(9x2−1) = 9x(x+5)(x−5)−6×(9x2−1)Finally, we cancel out the common factor of 9x in the numerator and denominator: 9x(x+5)(x−5)−6×(9x2−1) = 9−6 \times x(x+5)(x−5)(9x2−1) = 3−2 \times x(x+5)(x−5)(9x2−1)The final simplified form of the expression is: 3−2×x(x+5)(x−5)(9x2−1)
