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

Answer:

total distance = 3300 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know here displacement S is in vector form that is

$\vec{S} = \vec{S1} +\vec{S2}+\vec{S3}+\vec{S4}$ ......................1

$\vec{S} = (3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}) + (-7\hat{i}-3\hat{j})$

and

$\vec{S} =(-4\hat{i}+3\hat{j})$

and

magnitude is

$\left| \vec{S} \right| = \sqrt{(-4)^2+3^2}$

$\left| \vec{S} \right| = \sqrt{25}$

$\left| \vec{S} \right| = 5$

so here distance from home to cafe is

S = 5 × 660

total distance = 3300 ft

What are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle in which one acute angle measures 19° and the hypotenuse is 15 units long?

pentagon [3]

The legs of a triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 15 units long have lengths that are equal to 15 times the sine or cosine of the given angle.
leg 1 = (15 units) x (cos 19) = 14.18 units
leg 2 = (15 units) x (sin 19) = 4.88 units
The lengths of the legs are 14.18 units and 4.88 units.

Can you explain how you would convert 4 m to millimeters?

Andrew [12]

M to millimetres is 3 steps. m > dm > cm > mm. since it is 3 steps down, the comma goes 3 places left. 4 > 0,4 > 0,04 > 0,004. so 4 m is equal to 0,004 mm
