Subtract the rational expression 1/x^2-x-6 - x/x+2.

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - x -6 = x²  + 2x - 3x - 3*2

            =x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)

            = (x + 2 )(x - 3)

[tex]\frac{1}{x^{2}-x-6}+\frac{x}{x+2}=\frac{1}{(x +2 )(x - 3)}-\frac{x}{x + 2}\\[/tex]

                      [tex]= \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}-\frac{x(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\=\frac{1-x(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\=\frac{1-x^{2}+3x}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\[/tex]
