What is the greatest common factor of the numerator of ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
4 0

The greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the rational expression is x - 4

<h3>How to determine the greatest common factor?</h3>

The fraction expression is given as:

\frac{5x-20}{x^2-2x-8}

Factorize the numerator and the denominator

\frac{5x-20}{x^2-2x-8} = \frac{5(x-4)}{(x- 4)(x + 2)}

Cancel out the common factor

\frac{5x-20}{x^2-2x-8} = \frac{5}{(x + 2)}

The common factor that was canceled out is x - 4

Hence, the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the rational expression is x - 4

Machine A can complete a certain job in x hours. Machine B can complete the same job in y hours. If A and B work together at the
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

\frac{y}{x+y}

Step-by-step explanation:

The required answer is the rate at  which Machine A  works when the two machines are combined.

Note: the rate of doing work is express as

rate=\frac{1}{time taken} \\

Hence we can conclude that Machine A working rate is

machine A=\frac{1}{x} \\ and machine B working rate is

machine B=\frac{1}{y} \\

When the two machine works together, the effective working rate is

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}\\\frac{xy}{x+y}\\

The fraction of the work that Machine B will not have complete because of Machine A help is the total work done by machine A

Hence the fraction of work done by A is expressed as

\frac{1}{x}*combine working rate

\frac{1}{x}*\frac{xy}{x+y}\\\frac{y}{x+y} \\

Hence the fraction of the work that Machine B will not have complete because of Machine A help is the total work done by machine A is \frac{y}{x+y} \\
