Chapter 7: Q. 127 (page 668)

In the following exercises, perform indicated operations.
$\frac{- 9 p - 17}{p^{2} - 4 p - 21} - \frac{p + 1}{7 - p}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The resultant expression is $\frac{p + 2}{p + 3}$ .

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

The given expression is $\frac{- 9 p - 17}{p^{2} - 4 p - 21} - \frac{p + 1}{7 - p}$ .

02

Step 2. Express with LCD

The LCD of the given expressions to subtract is $(p - 7) (p + 3)$ .
Express the given expression with LCD.

$\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{- 9 p - 17}{p^{2} - 4 p - 21} - \frac{p + 1}{7 - p} & = & \frac{- 9 p - 17}{(p - 7) (p + 3)} - \frac{- (p + 1) (p + 3)}{(p - 7) (p + 3)} \\ = & \frac{- 9 p - 17}{(p - 7) (p + 3)} - \frac{- p^{2} - 4 p - 3}{(p - 7) (p + 3)} \end{array}$

03

Step 3. Simplify

As the denominator is the same for both the terms, perform addition in the numerator and place it over the common denominator.

$\frac{- 9 p - 17 + p^{2} + 4 p + 3}{(p - 7) (p + 3)} = \frac{p^{2} - 5 p + 14}{(p - 7) (p + 3)}$

Cancel out the common factor from numerator and denominator.

$\frac{(p - 7) (p + 2)}{(p - 7) (p + 3)} = \frac{p + 2}{p + 3}$

So, the resultant expression is $\frac{p + 2}{p + 3}$ .
