The domain restrictions on the rational function [tex]\frac{50}{4x - 12} + \frac{x- 4}{x^2 + x - 12} = \frac{x}{2}[/tex] are (b) x = 3 or and (d) x = -4
The function as expressed in the correct format is:
[tex]\frac{50}{4x - 12} + \frac{x- 4}{x^2 + x - 12} = \frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Factorize the denominators of the fractions
[tex]\frac{50}{4(x - 3)} + \frac{x- 4}{x^2 + 4x- 3x - 12} = \frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Factor out x and -3
[tex]\frac{50}{4(x - 3)} + \frac{x- 4}{x(x + 4)- 3(x + 4)} = \frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Factor out x + 4
[tex]\frac{50}{4(x - 3)} + \frac{x- 4}{(x- 3)(x + 4)} = \frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Set the denominators to 0
4(x - 3) = 0
(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0
Solve for x:
4(x - 3) = 0 ⇒ x = 3
(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0 ⇒ x = 3 or x = -4
This means that the domain restrictions on the rational function are (b) x = 3 or and (d) x = -4
