Chapter 7: Problem 56

Add or subtract as indicated. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\frac{y}{y^{2}+5 y+6}+\frac{4}{y^{2}-y-6}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified result of the given problem is \( \frac{y^{2}+y+12}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)} \).

Step by step solution

01

Factorize the denominators

Factorize both \(y^{2}+5y+6\) and \(y^{2}-y-6\). The factorized form of \(y^{2}+5y+6\) is \((y+2)(y+3)\) and \(y^{2}-y-6\) is \((y-3)(y+2)\). So, the fractions become \(\frac{y}{(y+2)(y+3)}\) and \(\frac{4}{(y-3)(y+2)}\) respectively.
02

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. For the denominators \((y+2)(y+3)\) and \((y-3)(y+2)\), the LCD is \((y-3)(y+2)(y+3)\).
03

Convert into equivalent fractions with common denominator and add

We rewrite \(\frac{y}{(y+2)(y+3)}\) and \(\frac{4}{(y-3)(y+2)}\) as equivalent fractions with the LCD. So, the modified fractions are \(\frac{y(y-3)}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)}\) and \(\frac{4(y+3)}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)}\). We can now add the fractions: \(\frac{y(y-3)}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)} + \frac{4(y+3)}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)}\).
04

Simplify the result

After adding, we get \(\frac{y^{2}-3y+4y+12}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)}\). On further simplification, we find the final result to be \(\frac{y^{2}+y+12}{(y-3)(y+2)(y+3)}\).

Use a proportion to solve each problem. Height is proportional to foot length. A person whose foot length is 10 inches is 67 inches tall. In 1951 , photos of large footprints were published. Some believed that these footprints were made by the "Abominable Snowman." Each footprint was 23 inches long. If indeed they belonged to the Abominable Snowman, how tall is the critter?
