a. of b. to c. with d. from
\(A=2-x\sqrt{\frac{x\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)^2}+\frac{1}{\left(x-2\right)^2}}=2-x\sqrt{\frac{\left(x-1\right)^2}{\left(x-2\right)^2}}\)
\(=2-x\cdot\frac{x-1}{x-2}=\frac{2x-4}{x-2}-\frac{x^2-x}{x-2}=\frac{-x^2+3x-4}{x-2}\)
\(B=\frac{2\sqrt{5}x}{x-2}\cdot\left|x-2\right|+\frac{3\sqrt{5}x^2}{x}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}x}{x-2}\cdot\left|x-2\right|+3\sqrt{5}x\)
Với 0 < x < 2 \(B=-2\sqrt{5}x+3\sqrt{5}x=\sqrt{5}x\)
Với x > 2 \(B=2\sqrt{5}x+3\sqrt{5}x=5\sqrt{5}x\)
\(C=\frac{\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)\left(\sqrt{x}+5\right)}{\sqrt{x}\left(\sqrt{x}+5\right)}+\sqrt{\frac{\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)^2}}=\frac{\sqrt{x}-5}{\sqrt{x}}+\left|\frac{\sqrt{x}-1}{\sqrt{x}-5}\right|\)
Với 0 < x < 1 \(C=\frac{\sqrt{x}-5}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{\sqrt{x}-1}{\sqrt{x}-5}=\frac{x-10\sqrt{x}+25}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}+\frac{x-\sqrt{x}}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}=\frac{2x-11\sqrt{x}+25}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}\)
Với 1 < x < 5 \(C=\frac{\sqrt{x}-5}{\sqrt{x}}-\frac{\sqrt{x}-1}{\sqrt{x}-5}=\frac{x-10\sqrt{x}+25}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}-\frac{x-\sqrt{x}}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}=\frac{-9\sqrt{x}+25}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}\)
Với x > 5 \(C=\frac{\sqrt{x}-5}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{\sqrt{x}-1}{\sqrt{x}-5}=\frac{x-10\sqrt{x}+25}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}+\frac{x-\sqrt{x}}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}=\frac{2x-11\sqrt{x}+25}{x\left(\sqrt{x}-5\right)}\)
