Question Number 198367 by universe last updated on 18/Oct/23

  if  f(x) = ((x^2 −(b+1)x+b)/(x^2 −(a+1)x+a))  (a≠b & a,b ∈ R ∼ {1})    can take all values except two values α & β    such that α+β = 0  then ∣((a^3 +b^3 −8)/(ab))∣  =  ??

iff(x)=x2(b+1)x+bx2(a+1)x+a(ab&a,bR{1})cantakeallvaluesexcepttwovaluesα&βsuchthatα+β=0thena3+b38ab=??

y=((x^2 −(b+1)x+b)/(x^2 −(a+1)x+a))=(((x−1)(x−b))/((x−1)(x−a)))=((x−b)/(x−a))  x≠1∧x≠a  ⇔  x=((ay−b)/(y−1)) ⇒ y≠1  There′s only 1 value f(x) cannot take.  If you mean values x cannot take, these  are 1, a

y=x2(b+1)x+bx2(a+1)x+a=(x1)(xb)(x1)(xa)=xbxax1xax=ayby1y1Theresonly1valuef(x)cannottake.Ifyoumeanvaluesxcannottake,theseare1,a

for a=b, y=1. So there is a case when y=1

fora=b,y=1.Sothereisacasewheny=1

But it says a≠b
