Math Problem Statement

(e^(x))/(e^(2x)-5e^(x)+6)

Solution

The given expression is:

exe2x5ex+6\frac{e^{x}}{e^{2x} - 5e^{x} + 6}

To simplify this expression, let's substitute y=exy = e^x. This substitution turns the expression into:

yy25y+6\frac{y}{y^2 - 5y + 6}

Now, factor the denominator:

y25y+6=(y2)(y3)y^2 - 5y + 6 = (y - 2)(y - 3)

Thus, the expression becomes:

y(y2)(y3)\frac{y}{(y - 2)(y - 3)}

Now, substitute back y=exy = e^x to return to the original variable:

ex(ex2)(ex3)\frac{e^x}{(e^x - 2)(e^x - 3)}

This is the simplified form of the given expression.
