AI Thread Summary
To add the binomials and trinomials, the denominators must be factored, resulting in (x-2)(x-5)(x-3)(x+3). The numerator is derived by combining the two fractions, leading to the expression (x-3)(x-3)(x+3) + (x+4)(x-2)(x-5). After expanding and simplifying, the resulting numerator is 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 27x + 67. The process involves careful distribution and combination of like terms. Understanding these steps clarifies how the final numerator was achieved.

( x - 3/ x^2- 7x + 10 ) + ( x + 4 / x ^ 2 - 9 )
i have to add these and put the denominator in a factored form

(x-5)(x-2)(x-3)(x+3)

but the example in my book came up with

2x^3 - 6x^2 - 27x + 67 as the numerator.
This is what i don't understand.
can someone explain how the numerator was solved.

$$x^2- 7x + 10=0 \Leftrightarrow (x-2) (x-5)=0$$

$$\frac{ x - 3}{ x^2- 7x + 10} + \frac{ x + 4 }{ x^2 - 9}= \frac{x-3}{(x-2)(x-5)}+\frac{x+4}{(x-3)(x+3)} \\ =\frac{(x-3)(x-3)(x+3)}{(x-2)(x-5)(x-3)(x+3)}+\frac{(x+4)(x-2)(x-5) }{(x-3)(x+3) (x-2)(x-5)} \\ =\frac{(x-3)(x-3)(x+3)+(x+4)(x-2)(x-5) }{(x-3)(x+3) (x-2)(x-5)} \\ =\frac{(x^2-9)(x-3)+ (x^2+2x-8)(x-5)}{(x-3)(x+3) (x-2)(x-5)}\\ =\frac{x^3-3x^2-9x+27+x^3-3x^2-18x+40}{(x-3)(x+3) (x-2)(x-5)}$$
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
