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 \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
