Question: (a) Simplify (x 2 - 1/9) (X 2 + 2 x + 1)/(x 2 +1/3 X) (5 x + 5) Note that it is not
(a) Simplify (x2 - 1/9) (X2 + 2 x + 1)/(x2 +1/3 X) (5 x + 5) Note that it is not a good idea to start by multiplying together something! (b) For which values of x is the expression you start with undefined? (c) For which values of x is the expression you end up with undefined? (d) For which values of x do you get completely different results if you try to calculate out the value of what you started with and what you ended up with? Count out (or try to calculate) the expression value for this x to confirm that it really gets different. Print all the steps. (e) Take another value of x and calculate both the uncomplicated and the simplified the value of the expression for this x, to confirm that it really is becoming equal. Be sure to print out all the steps! (If it's not the same, you have calculated incorrectly, either in the simplification of (a) or in the numerical work here. Fix in so drop the error before submitting the information!)
