To calculate: The value of x for which the value of fraction becomes zero
Answer to Problem 52WE
The value of x for which the value of fraction
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The expression
Formula used:
To find the value of the variable that makes the value of fraction zero, equate the fraction to zero and then solve it to find the value(s) of variable that makes it zero and then put the values in the original fraction to check which value makes the fraction zero.
Calculation:
Consider the expression
Recall that to find the value of the variable that makes the value of fraction zero, equate the fraction to zero and then solve it to find the value(s) of variable that makes it zero and then put the values in the original fraction to check which value makes the fraction zero.
So, equate the given fraction to zero as,
Multiply both sides by
Either
Put
Now, put
Thus, the value of x for which the value of fraction
