Chapter 11: Q12. (page 699)

Simplify the given expression. State the excluded values of the variables.
$\frac{z 鈭� 5}{z^{2} 鈭� 7 z + 10}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The simplified expression is $\frac{1}{z 鈭� 2}$ .

The excluded values are $z = 2, 鈥� 5$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Define a rational function.

A function of the form $y = \frac{p}{q}$ is called a rational function, where $p$ and $q$ are the polynomials and $q 鈮� 0$ .

Step 2. Define the excluded values for the rational function.

Any value of a variable that results in a denominator of zero in a rational function is excluded from the domain of the function and these values are called the excluded values of the rational function.

Step 3. Simplify the expression z−5z2−7z+10.

Factor the denominator to simplify the expression $\frac{z 鈭� 5}{z^{2} 鈭� 7 z + 10}$ .

$\begin{array}{l} \frac{z 鈭� 5}{z^{2} 鈭� 7 z + 10} = \frac{z 鈭� 5}{z^{2} 鈭� 5 z 鈭� 2 z + 10} \\ = \frac{z 鈭� 5}{z (z 鈭� 5) 鈭� 2 (z 鈭� 5)} \\ = \frac{z 鈭� 5}{(z 鈭� 5) (z 鈭� 2)} \\ = \frac{1}{z 鈭� 2} \end{array}$

Step 4. State the excluded values of the variable for the expression z−5z2−7z+10.

For excluded value,

Denominator $= 0$

$\begin{array}{l} z^{2} 鈭� 7 z + 10 = 0 \\ z^{2} 鈭� 5 z 鈭� 2 z + 10 = 0 \\ z (z 鈭� 5) 鈭� 2 (z 鈭� 5) = 0 \\ (z 鈭� 5) (z 鈭� 2) = 0 \\ z = 2, 鈥� 5 \end{array}$

Therefore,

The simplified expression is $\frac{1}{z 鈭� 2}$ .

The excluded values are $z = 2, 鈥� 5$ .
