Concept explainers
a. Solve
b. Write the right side of the equation in part (a) as the sum of two fractions. Solve the equation.
c. Did you find the equation in part (a) or the rewritten equation easier to solve? Why?
a.
To solve the given equation.
Answer to Problem 27P
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Now we shall solve the equation.
We get,
b.
To write right side of the equation as the sum of two factors.
Answer to Problem 27P
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Here we may write
Hence it can be written as the sum of two factors.
Hence
c.
To determine if the given equation or the rewritten equation is easier to solve.
Answer to Problem 27P
It is easier to solve with one factor instead of sum of two factors.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Here we may write
Now solving with the sum of two factors would increase two steps in solving the given equation.
Whereas with one factor it can be solve easily with two steps.
Hence it is easier to solve with one factor instead of sum of two factors.
