Question 197087: solve the equasion by cross multiplying. check each solution.
41) -1/x-3 = x-4/x^2-27
i attempted: -x^2+27 = x^2-7x+12 = -2x^2+27 = -7x+12 = -2x^2 = -7x+39
= 2x^2-7x+39=0 ??????????

Question 197098: solve the inequality:
1%2F3v+%2B+1%2F4v+%3C+1%2F2
Take+the+LCM+=+3v%2A4=12v
%284%2B3%29%2F12v%3C1%2F2
==> 7%2F12v%3C1%2F2
multiply both sides with 12v
==> %287%2812v%29%29%2F12v%3C%281%2F2%29%2A12v+
==> 7%3C12v%2F2
==> 6v%3E7
So v%3E7%2F6
number_line%28+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+A=7%2F6%29
So the solution is (7%2F6,%2Binfinity)
that is all real values from the 7/6 in the number line,
without including 7/6.

Question 197622: Okay, here it is.
Sketch the graph of the rational function.
y=(x-2)/(x-3)
I don't remember seeing problems like this, but I'm thinking that if this follows suite with some of the other problems I've done in this review packet, the x-3 on the bottom means the graph is shifted right 3 spaces, making the vertical asymptote x=3. I think the x-2 on the top tells us how close the two segments of the graph are to 0,0 (relative to where the asymptotes have moved the graph, that is).
Am I on the right track? any explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
