Hi, Bobbym.

This is the one from the book;

1/x-3 - 3(x-1)/x^2-9


I had -2/x+3 as answer.

#352 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-10 05:28:19

I am not at home now, I will post the original when I get there.

Thanks.

#353 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-10 05:12:22

1/1+3 - 3(x-1)/x^2-9.

That is it.

#354 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-10 04:54:29

Please look at #252.
That is the original question.

The first line is -3(x-1).

And changes the second to be,
-3x+3

Thanks.

In the case of pythagoras theorem, I rarely see those sign in the final solution.

#356 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-10 04:13:56

Please,  I mean the problem itself.
You made a negative sign a positive sign.

Here ;

3(x-1). Which you made it 3(x+1).


You check it from one of your post.

#357 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-10 03:49:45

If for inştance, a student does that would not a teacher mark him down?

#358 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-08 20:58:24

It seems you did not get what I mean.

I mean the book solved for U but there was no positive and negative sign in front of 'the root sign' to the R.H.S.



what do you think it did not have it?

I was interrupted by some errand, boring one indeed.

Bobbym, it seems you mistakenly made a negative sign a positive sign.
The original is the same as the one Anomnystify solved please check the sign at #244. I mean;
3(x-1)/x-9,

Which you made it
3(x+1)/x^2-9.


touched

#360 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-08 01:23:00

I see, then let me check the original one and come back.

#361 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-08 00:51:34

Please could you demostrate to me?,  c'os I can't adentify it.

#362 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-08 00:23:02

Thanks, Bobbym
I cant tell why the book did not bring that.


Thanks once more.

Amen.

#363 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-08 00:14:19

But if I am solving for U, and take root of both sides, I think there will come a root sign to the the R.H.S,  in front of the root sign there must be positive and negative sign present,  is that not it?


Thank you Bobbym.

#364 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-07 23:50:27

Oops,

I have considered it once more and I could see Anonymstify is right with his answer, I  lost sight with some negative sign, here

x+3-3(x-3) = x+3-3x+3.
=-2x+6

Bobbym, I suppose you lost sight on a negative sign. With a careful check you will adentify it.

#365 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-06 21:30:38

So you mean there will be no square at the RHS at all? The book has it there.


My problem with it is, why there is no positive and negative sign in front of the root sign at the RHS in the book.

Hi EbenezerSon

With a careful look at signs I think should be,
x-3x-3-3/x^2-9 =

-2x-6/x^2-3^2 =

-2(x+3)/(x-3)(x+3)
= -2/x-3

Please am I right there.

Thanks.

#367 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-06 20:03:36

Yes that's fine.
But I suppose when  you solve  it down the RHS must take 'the square root sign'
and a positive and a negative sign as well. Strangely only the root sign is present.
What do you think is like that in the book?

Make u the subject of the relation

V = 1/4(25-U^2)^1/2.

And


Make V the subject.

E = V + 1/2MV^2.

The above is a problem in a book, it is solved in it, but the letter which should be the subject in each case carries a square, and to my suprise the right hand side eqution has no positive and negative sign in front of the root signs and it really baffles me why the signs are absent.
Do anyone have an idea why the signs where omitted by the book?


Thanks.

#369 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-06 00:50:25

This is a solved example from the book, but has no negative and positive sign in it finall answer though I expect;

Example 10.26

Make u the subject of the relation

V = 1/4(25-U^2)^1/2.

And


Make V the subject.

E = V + 1/2MV^2.

What do you make of this?
Why do suppose the book did not bring both signs at all, in each case?

Thanks.

I have worked to know several UPAC names of compounds but I found it hard to calculate  and know the UPAC names of the following
. The book has given me the name but how to calculate to know(especially the one with no fixed state) has become the problem.


Fe(OH)2.

The book says Iron(II) hydroxide.
But how to calculate by using the oxidation number has become the problem.

Still I cant grasp why there is positive and negative sign before the root.

I have other questions but want this cleared.

Is your interpretation the ones the book should have used?

#374 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 03:57:53

But is the answer I had the same as yours when you solved?

I am using my phone to browse and the battery has run low.

#375 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 03:45:39

2logy-log2x=log2(y-x)
express y in terms of x.

This how is in the book.


Thanks.
