Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The problem involves subtracting two rational expressions with a common denominator.
2. Simplification of the expression is required.
3. The expression can be simplified by subtracting the numerators directly since the denominators are the same.

STEP 2

1. Identify and simplify the numerators of the rational expressions.
2. Subtract the simplified numerators.
3. Simplify the resulting expression.

STEP 3

Identify the numerators of the rational expressions:
Numerator 1: t2+7t18 t^2 + 7t - 18
Numerator 2: 6t2+8t12 -6t^2 + 8t - 12
The common denominator is t26t+5 t^2 - 6t + 5 .

STEP 4

Subtract the numerators:
(t2+7t18)(6t2+8t12) (t^2 + 7t - 18) - (-6t^2 + 8t - 12)
Distribute the negative sign across the second numerator:
t2+7t18+6t28t+12 t^2 + 7t - 18 + 6t^2 - 8t + 12
Combine like terms:
(t2+6t2)+(7t8t)+(18+12) (t^2 + 6t^2) + (7t - 8t) + (-18 + 12)
7t2t6 7t^2 - t - 6

STEP 5

The expression simplifies to:
7t2t6t26t+5 \frac{7t^2 - t - 6}{t^2 - 6t + 5}
Since the numerator and the denominator have no common factors, this is the simplified form of the expression.
The simplified expression is:
7t2t6t26t+5 \boxed{\frac{7t^2 - t - 6}{t^2 - 6t + 5}}
