Write the rational expression with the indicated denominator. 19/(z^2-7z)=?/z(z-7)(z-5)

1 answer

To write the rational expression \( \frac{19}{z^2 - 7z} \) with the denominator \( z(z - 7)(z - 5) \), we first need to factor the original denominator.

The expression \( z^2 - 7z \) can be factored as follows:

\[ z^2 - 7z = z(z - 7) \]

Now, we need to convert \( \frac{19}{z(z - 7)} \) into a form where the denominator is \( z(z - 7)(z - 5) \). We can do this by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by \( (z - 5) \):

\[ \frac{19}{z(z - 7)} \cdot \frac{(z - 5)}{(z - 5)} = \frac{19(z - 5)}{z(z - 7)(z - 5)} \]

Now simplifying the numerator:

\[ 19(z - 5) = 19z - 95 \]

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ \frac{19(z - 5)}{z(z - 7)(z - 5)} = \frac{19z - 95}{z(z - 7)(z - 5)} \]

Thus, the rational expression with the indicated denominator is:

\[ \frac{19z - 95}{z(z - 7)(z - 5)} \]
