Solve equation by the method of your choice. $$ \frac{1}{x^{2}-3 x+2}=\frac{1}{x+2}+\frac{5}{x^{2}-4} $$
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Factor completely: \(x^{3}+x^{2}-4 x-4\).
In a round-robin chess tournament, each player is paired with every other player once. The formula $$ N=\frac{x^{2}-x}{2} $$ models the number of chess games, \(N,\) that must be played in a round-robin tournament with \(x\) chess players. Use this formula to solve. In a round-robin chess tournament, 36 games were played. How many players were entered in the tournament?
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I prefer interval notation over set-builder notation because it takes less space to write solution sets.
When the sum of 1 and twice a negative number is subtracted from twice the square of the number, 0 results. Find the number.
