Combine the fractions on the left with a common denominator:

[tex]\dfrac a{x+1} + \dfrac b{x-1} + \dfrac c{(x+1)^2} = \dfrac{a(x+1)(x-1) + b(x+1)^2 + c(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)^2}[/tex]

It follows that

[tex]3x^2+3x-2 = a(x+1)(x-1) + b(x+1)^2 + c(x-1)[/tex]

Expand the right side and collect like powers of x :

[tex]3x^2+3x-2 = a(x^2-1) + b(x^2+2x+1) + c(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]3x^2+3x-2 = (a+b)x^2 + (2b + c)x -a +b - c[/tex]

Then we have the system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}a+b=3\\2b+c=3\\-a+b-c=-2\end{cases}[/tex]

or in matrix form,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\-1&1&-1\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}3\\3\\-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Compute the determinant of the coefficient matrix:

[tex]\det\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\-1&1&-1\end{bmatrix} = -4[/tex]

Then the inverse of the coefficient matrix is equal 1/det times the adjugate of the coefficient matrix (a.k.a the transpose of the cofactor matrix):

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\-1&1&-1\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \dfrac1{-4} \begin{bmatrix}-3 & -1 & 2 \\ 1 & -1 & -2 \\ 1 & -1 & 2\end{bmatrix}^\top = -\dfrac14 \begin{bmatrix}3&-1&-1\\1&1&1\\-2&2&-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by the inverse :

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\end{bmatrix} = -\dfrac14 \begin{bmatrix}3&-1&-1\\1&1&1\\-2&2&-2\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}3\\3\\-2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}2\\1\\1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

So, we have a = 2 and b = c = 1, and the partial fraction decomposition is

[tex]\dfrac{3x^2+3x-2}{(x+1)^2(x-1)} = \dfrac 2{x+1} + \dfrac 1{x-1} + \dfrac 1{(x+1)^2}[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One can solve for a, b, c a little more directly than using a system of 3 equations.

If we multiply the rational expression by (x+1)², we get ...

  (3x² +3x -2)/(x -1) = (x+1)²(a/(x+1) +b/(x-1)) +c

Evaluating this for x = -1 gives ...

  (3(-1)² +3(-1) -2)/(-1 -1) = c

  -2/-2 = 1 = c

Similarly, multiplying by (x -1) gives ...

  (3x² +3x -2)/(x +1)² = (x -1)(a/(x +1) +c/(x +1)²) + b

Evaluating this for x = 1 gives ...

  (3·1² +3·1 -2)/(1 +1)² = b

  4/4 = 1 = b

Now, we need to find the value of 'a'. The identity will hold true for any value of x, so we can see what happens when we substitute x=0. We can use the values of 'b' and 'c' that we found above.

  (3·0² +3·0 -2)/((0 +1)²(0 -1)) = a/(0 +1) +1/(0 -1) +1/(0 +1)²

  -2/-1 = a -1 +1   ⇒   a = 2

_____

System of equations solution

When the terms of the right-side expansion are combined, the numerator of the result is ...

  a(x +1)(x -1) +b(x +1)^2 +c(x -1) = (a+b)x² +(2b+c)x +(-a+b-c) ≡ 3x² +3x -2

Equating the coefficients gives the system of equations whose augmented matrix is:

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&0&3\\0&2&1&3\\-1&1&-1&-2\end{array}\right][/tex]

Transforming this to reduced row-echelon form using any of a variety of available tools gives ...

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&2\\0&1&0&1\\0&0&1&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

which tells you the solution is (A, B, C) = (2, 1, 1).

Answer:

C, x + 20 = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

X represents the number of small sea shells that we originally had. When the family adds 20 more shells, that makes x + 20. The total number is 41, so that means the number of sea shells they already had (x) plus the number of sea shells they collected (20) equals the number of shells they have now (41).

28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The dog is twice as old as the cat

The monkey is twice as old as the dog.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Their total age is 4 years 2 months.

1 year has 12 months

=> 4 years have (4 × 12)

= 48 months

Since, the total age is 4 years 2 months, we can express it in "months" by adding "48" and "2".

= 50 months

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sum of their ages = 50 months

=> x + 2x + 4x = 50

=> 7x = 50

=>x = 50/ 7 months

If we write this in mixed fractions the whole number will represent the number of years.

=

[tex] \mathsf{7 \frac{1}{7} \: \: months}[/tex]

[tex] = \mathsf{7 \: years \: \frac{1}{7} \: \: months}[/tex]

The value of 1/ 7 is really small,I.e., 0.1428...

So, we can ignore the fraction while rounding off the term that makes it

[tex] \mathsf{x = 7yrs.(approx.)}[/tex]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

x is the age of the cat.

The monkey's age is "4x"

Answer:

116°

Step-by-step explanation:

(Angle sum property of a triangle = 180°)

angle A + angle C + angle ABC = 180°

66° + 50° + angle BAC = 180°

116° + angle ABC = 180°

angle ABC = 180° - 116°

angle ABC = 64°

angle ABD + angle ABC = 180°

angle ABD + 64° = 180°

angle ABD = 180° - 64°

angle ABD = 116°

So, the measure of the unknown angle is 116°

Answer:

On the number line, a number and its opposite are, predictably, opposite each other. In other words, they are the same distance from zero, but on opposite sides of the number line. The opposite of zero is defined to be simply zero. The sum of a number and its opposite is always zero, as shown in the following example.

Given info: -17/2 < (-1/2) - 4x ≤ 15/2

Find the value of x ?

Explanation:↓

Given in-equation is -17/2 < (-1/2) - 4x ≤ 15/2

⇛ -17/2 < (-1-8x)/2 ≤ 15/2

On multiplying with 2 then

⇛ 2(-17/2) < 2(-1-8x)/2 ≤ 2(15/2)

⇛ -17 < -1-8x ≤ 15

On adding 1 in the in-equation then

⇛ -17+1 < -1-8x+1 ≤ 15+1

⇛ -16 < -8x ≤ 16

On dividing by 8 in the in-equation then

⇛ -16/8 < -8x/8 ≤ 16/8

⇛ -2 < -x ≤ 2

⇛ 2 > x ≥ - 2

⇛ -2 ≤ x < 2

x = 8 AND x = 2 because of the absolute value.

Brainliest, please :)

The solution of the given equation will be x = 2 and 8.

What is an expression?

Expression in math is defined as the collection of the numbers, variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The expression is;

| 2 (x - 5) | + 11 = 17

Now, Solve the expression is;

| 2 (x - 5) | + 11 = 17

Subtract 11 both side,

| 2 (x - 5) | + 11 - 11 = 17 - 11

| 2 (x - 5) | = 6

Reduce modulus we get;

2 (x - 5) = ±6

Take positive sign,

2 (x - 5) = 6

x - 5 = 6/2

x - 5 = 3

x = 3 + 5

x = 8

And, Take negative sign,

2 (x - 5) = -6

x - 5 = -6/2

x - 5 = -3

x = 5 - 3

x = 2

Thus, The solution of the given equation will be x = 2 and 8.
