If $$x + \frac{1}{x} = 5{\text{,}}$$ then $$\frac{{2x}}{{3{x^2} - 5x + 3}}$$ is equal to?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& x + \frac{1}{x} = 5 \cr
& \therefore \frac{{2x}}{{3{x^2} - 5x + 3}}\,\left( {{\text{Divide by }}x} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{\frac{{2x}}{x}}}{{\frac{{3{x^2}}}{x} - \frac{{5x}}{x} + \frac{3}{x}}} \cr
& = \frac{2}{{3x + \frac{3}{x} - 5}} \cr
& = \frac{2}{{3\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right) - 5}} \cr
& = \frac{2}{{3 \times 5 - 5}} \cr
& = \frac{2}{{10}} \cr
& = \frac{1}{5} \cr} $$
