Solve the following quadratic equation by factorization : 3/(x+1) + 4/(x-1) = 29/(4x-1); x ≠ 1, -1, 1/4
Solve the Following Quadratic Equation by Factorization Question: \[ \frac{3}{x+1}+\frac{4}{x-1}=\frac{29}{4x-1}, \qquad x\ne 1,-1,\frac14 \] Solution Given: \[ \frac{3}{x+1}+\frac{4}{x-1}=\frac{29}{4x-1} \] Multiplying both sides by \((x+1)(x-1)(4x-1)\): \[ 3(x-1)(4x-1)+4(x+1)(4x-1) =29(x+1)(x-1) \] \[ 3(4x^2-5x+1)+4(4x^2+3x-1) =29(x^2-1) \] \[ 12x^2-15x+3+16x^2+12x-4 =29x^2-29 \] \[ 28x^2-3x-1 =29x^2-29 \] \[ x^2+3x-28=0 \] Factorizing: \[ x^2+7x-4x-28=0 \] \[ x(x+7)-4(x+7)=0 \] \[ (x+7)(x-4)=0 \] Therefore, \[ […]
