When is the LCM of two polynomials equal to their product?
\n" ); document.write( "When the denominators are inverse of one another and the product of the
\n" ); document.write( "numerators is \"1\".
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "given the expression 1/(x-5). Is it possible to choose a value for x for which the value of the expression is greater than 10?
\n" ); document.write( "INEQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "1/(x-5) > 10
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x cannot be 5:
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a number line and mark x=5
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be greater than 5; then x-5 is positive.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of the inequality by x-5 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1 > 10x - 50
\n" ); document.write( "10x < 51
\n" ); document.write( "x < 5.1
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solutions: 5 < x < 5.1
