Identify all values of \(x\) that make the equation true.
\( \displaystyle \frac{2x+1}{x}=\frac{1}{x-2}\)
\( \displaystyle \frac{1}{x+2}=\frac{2}{x-1}\)
\( \displaystyle \frac{x+3}{1-x} = \frac{x+1}{x+2}\)
\( \displaystyle \frac{x+2}{x+8}= \frac{1}{x+2}\)
Kiran is solving \( \frac{2x-3}{x-1} = \frac{2}{x(x-1)}\) for \(x\), and he uses these steps:
\(\begin{align} \frac{2x-3}{x-1} &= \frac{2}{x(x-1)}\\[1.5ex] (x-1)\left(\frac{2x-3}{x-1} \right) &= x(x-1) \left( \frac{2}{x(x-1)} \right)\\[1.5ex] 2x-3 &= 2 \\[1.5ex] 2x &= 5 \\[1.5ex] x &= 2.5 \\ \end{align} \)
He checks his answer and finds that it isn't a solution to the original equation, so he writes “no solutions.” Unfortunately, Kiran made a mistake while solving. Find his error and calculate the actual solution(s).
Identify all values of \(x\) that make the equation true.
Is this the graph of \(g(x)=\text-x^4(x+3)\) or \(h(x)=x^4(x+3)\)? Explain how you know.
Rewrite the rational function \( g(x) = \frac{x-9}{x}\) in the form \( g(x) = c + \frac{r}{x}\), where \(c\) and \(r\) are constants.
Elena has a boat that can go 9 miles per hour in still water. She travels downstream for a certain distance and then back upstream to where she started. Elena notices that it takes her 4 hours to travel upstream and 2 hours to travel downstream. The river’s speed is \(r\) miles per hour. Write an equation that will help her solve for \(r\).
