What is the value of the rational expression x2--2x-3/4x2-12 when x=3

Value of the rational expression is 0 at x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational expression is

We will factorize the numerator first.

x²-2x-3 = x²-3x+x-3

= x(x-3)+1(x-3)

= (x-3)(x+1)

Now we factorize denominator

4x²-12 = 4(x²-3)

Now the expression can be written as

At x = 3 the value of expression will be 0 because at x = 3 factor (x-3) becomes 0.

So the answer is at x = 3 rational expression

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.
