What is the simplified form of 2 over x squared plus x minus 1 over x ?
Solution:
Given, 2 over x squared plus x minus 1 over x
It can be written as [2 / (x2 + x)] - (1 / x)
Now simplify (x2 + x)
We get, x(x + 1)
Now, [2 / x(x + 1)] - (1 / x)
LCM of denominator (x (x+1)) and x is given by (x (x+1))
On further simplification we get,
= [2 - (x + 1)]/x (x + 1)
We can write it as
= (2 - x -1) / (x + 1)
= [1-x]/[x (x+1)]
Therefore, the simplified form is (1 - x) / x(x + 1).
What is the simplified form of 2 over x squared plus x minus 1 over x ?
Summary:
The simplified form of 2 over x squared plus x minus 1 over is x (1 - x) / x(x + 1).
