Recall

Operations with algebraic fractions — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Let \(\displaystyle A=\)\(\displaystyle \frac{3}{x - 2}\) and \(\displaystyle B=\)\(\displaystyle \frac{8}{x - 5}\). Every operation uses the common original domain \(\displaystyle x\ne 2, 5\).

Write A+B over denominator \(\left(x - 5\right) \left(x - 2\right)\). Find the x coefficient in its numerator.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Let \(\displaystyle A=\)\(\displaystyle \frac{4}{x - 3}\) and \(\displaystyle B=\)\(\displaystyle \frac{9}{x - 7}\). Every operation uses the common original domain \(\displaystyle x\ne 3, 7\).

Using that same explicitly stated denominator \(\left(x - 7\right) \left(x - 3\right)\), find the constant term in the numerator of A+B.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
