Math Problem Statement

(11 + x) / x^3 + 2x(5 - x)

Solution

The expression in the image is:

11+xx3+2x(5x)\frac{11 + x}{x^3} + 2x(5 - x)

To simplify and work through this, let’s break it into parts:

  1. The first term is 11+xx3\frac{11 + x}{x^3}, which involves a polynomial divided by a cubic power of xx.
  2. The second term is 2x(5x)2x(5 - x), which can be expanded.

Let me simplify the second term first:

2x(5x)=2x52xx=10x2x22x(5 - x) = 2x \cdot 5 - 2x \cdot x = 10x - 2x^2

Now, putting everything together, we have:

11+xx3+10x2x2\frac{11 + x}{x^3} + 10x - 2x^2

This is the simplified form of the expression. Would you like to proceed with solving for xx or further analysis of this equation? Let me know!

Here are some related questions you could explore next:

  1. How do you solve rational expressions like 11+xx3=0\frac{11 + x}{x^3} = 0?
  2. What is the process for simplifying rational functions?
  3. How can we solve for xx in a cubic equation?
  4. How do we graph rational functions?
  5. What happens when we apply limits to rational expressions?

Tip: Always check for restrictions in rational functions. In this case, x0x \neq 0 because of the x3x^3 in the denominator.
