a) Consider the following rational expression.Build the rational expression
above into an equivalent expression with the denominator xy^5.
7/y
---
Set up the equation:
(7/y) = k/(xy^5)
Solve for k
k = (7xy^5/y) = 7xy^4
---
Therefore: 7/y = [7xy^4]/[xy^5]
=====================================
b) Consider the following rational expression.Build the rational expression
above into an equivalent expression with the denominator 18(x - 1).
(x+9)/(9 x - 9)
---
Do the same as above.
(x+9)/(9x-9) = k/[18(x-1)]
Solve for "k"
k = [18(x-1)(x+9)]/(9(x-1)] = 2(x+9)
----------------
Therefore (x+9)/(9x-9) = [2(x+9)]/[18(x-1)]
==============================================
