Question

Find the product and the domain ?
fraction numerator x squared plus 6 x plus 8 over denominator x squared plus 4 x plus 3 end fraction cross times fraction numerator x plus 3 over denominator x plus 2 end fraction

hintHint:

The expansion of left parenthesis straight x plus straight a right parenthesis left parenthesis straight x plus straight b right parenthesis text  is  end text straight x squared plus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis straight x plus ab. We have to state the domain of a rational expression while simplifying them because we must exclude zeros of a denominator as dividing with zero is not defined.
We are asked to simplify the expression and give its domain.

The correct answer is: Thus, the domain of the expression is (-∞,-1)∪(-1,∞).


    Step 1 of 2:
    Simplify the expression and cancel out the common factors,
    fraction numerator straight x squared plus 6 straight x plus 8 over denominator straight x squared plus 4 straight x plus 3 end fraction cross times fraction numerator straight x plus 3 over denominator straight x plus 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator straight x squared plus 4 straight x plus 2 straight x plus 8 over denominator straight x squared plus 3 straight x plus straight x plus 3 end fraction cross times fraction numerator straight x plus 3 over denominator straight x plus 2 end fraction
    table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell equals fraction numerator x left parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis plus 2 left parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis over denominator x left parenthesis x plus 3 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis x plus 3 right parenthesis end fraction cross times fraction numerator x plus 3 over denominator x plus 2 end fraction end cell row cell equals fraction numerator left parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis left parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis over denominator left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis left parenthesis x plus 3 right parenthesis end fraction cross times fraction numerator x plus 3 over denominator x plus 2 end fraction space space space space space space space space end cell end table
    equals fraction numerator x plus 4 over denominator x plus 1 end fraction
    Thus, the simplified expression is equals fraction numerator x plus 4 over denominator x plus 1 end fraction.
    Step 2 of 2:
    The domain of a rational expression should exclude the values for which the denominator attains a zero values. So, when
    table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell x plus 1 equals 0 end cell row cell x equals negative 1 space space end cell end table
    Thus, the domain of the expression is (-∞,-1)∪(-1,∞).

    Division by a zero value is not defined in mathematics. Hence, we cannot divide a number by zero.

    Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (2, 1.5) and (0, 4.5).

    The slope intercept form is a technique for determining a straight line's equation in the coordinate plane.
    ¶A graph of the linear equation y = mx + c is a straight line with slope m and y-intercept c. It is known as the slope-intercept form of the linear equation, and m and c are real numbers.
    ¶The slope, m, of a line represents its steepness. Sometimes the slope of a line is referred to as the gradient. A line's y-intercept, b, represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line's graph intersects the y-axis. Note: The y-coordinates intercepts are always (0, y) because the line whose equation needs to be determined always intersects the y-axis at x = 0.
