Math Problem Statement
fill in the blank x²+2x+1/BLANK x BLANK/7x²+7x
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find the appropriate expressions to create a rational expression equivalent to the one given: .
First, let's simplify the given expression:
Factor the numerator:
Further factor the quadratic expression:
So, the expression becomes:
Now, match this with the expressions given:
For the numerator:
We need to match with the form . But here we notice that corresponds to .
For the denominator:
Here, the factor corresponds to .
Hence, the correct pieces to fill in are:
- should match by its value.
- should be the second part of the numerator in the blank space.
- matches the denominator .
So, the filled expression would be:
Thus, the correct blank to fill are:
We can summarize as follows:
- Fill in the first blank numerator with matching the second term .
- The denominator blank is .
Finally, the complete filled expression should look like this:
