Explain the trend in first ionisation energy along period 3

Going across a period there is generally an increase in first ionisation energy. This is because there are more protons in each nucleus leading to a greater positive charge and stronger electrostatic forc...

g(x) = ( x / (x+3) ) + ( 3(2x+1) / (x^2 + x - 6) ). Show that this can be simplified to: g(x) = (x+1) / (x-2).

Step 1: The denominator of the right-hand fraction is quadratic, so we can factorise this to (x+3)(x-2). This looks similar to the denominator of the left-hand fraction, suggesti...
