Chapter 0: Problem 7

Simplify each rational expression. Find all numbers that must be excluded from the domain of the simplified rational expression. $$\frac{3 x-9}{x^{2}-6 x+9}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified rational expression is \(\frac{3}{x - 3}\) and the value excluded from the domain is \(x = 3\).

Step by step solution

01

Simplify the rational expression

To simplify the rational expression, first factoring out \(3\) from the numerator and the terms in the denominator to simplify the expression. The expression becomes \(\frac{3(x - 3)}{(x-3)^{2}}\). We can cancel out the \((x - 3)\) term in the numerator and denominator. The simplified expression is then \(\frac{3}{x - 3}\).
02

Find the domain of the simplified expression

Now we find out which values of \(x\) are to be excluded from the domain of the expression. By setting the denominator of the simplified rational expression equal to zero and solving for \(x\), we get \(x - 3 = 0\), which implies that \(x = 3\). Thus, \(x = 3\) must be excluded from the domain as it would make the denominator equal to zero and the expression undefined.

Your computer store is having an incredible sale. The price on one model is reduced by \(40 \% .\) Then the sale price is reduced by another \(40 \% .\) If \(x\) is the computer's original price, the sale price can be modeled by $$(x-0.4 x)-0.4(x-0.4 x)$$ a. Factor out \((x-0.4 x)\) from each term. Then simplify the resulting expression. b. Use the simplified expression from part (a) to answer these questions. With a \(40 \%\) reduction followed by a \(40 \%\) reduction, is the computer selling at \(20 \%\) of its original price? If not, at what percentage of the original price is it selling?
