Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Further Mathematics - 2022 (Objective) Subject: Further Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Given that \( \frac{8x+m}{x^2-3x-4} \equiv \frac{5}{x+1}+\frac{3}{x-4} \)

Answer Details

8x+mx2−3x−4≡5x+1+3x−4

8x+mx2−3x−4
 ≡ 5(x−1)+3(x+4)x2−3x−4

multiplying both sides by x2-3x-4
8x+m ≡ 5(x-4)+3(x+1)
8x + m ≡ 5x - 20 + 3x + 3
8x - 5x - 3x + m = -20 + 3
m = -17
