No. An irration number is a fraction, thats a decimal
it would be a, b, and c because if you look at the question and the answers, 3 of the four answers match the 3 of the 4 coordinates
X² + x - 12 / x² - x - 20 ÷ 3x² - 24x + 45 / 12x² - 48x - 60
x² + x - 12 / x² - x - 20 * 12x² - 48x - 60 / 3x² - 24x + 45

6m3 - 16m2 + 15m - 40<span> Simplify —————————————————————
2m2 + 5
</span>Checking for a perfect cube :
<span> 4.1 </span> <span> 6m3 - 16m2 + 15m - 40</span> is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out :
<span> 4.2 </span> Factoring: <span> 6m3 - 16m2 + 15m - 40</span>
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: 15m - 40
Group 2: <span> -16m2 + 6m3</span>
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (3m - 8) • (5)
Group 2: <span> (3m - 8) • (2m2)</span>
-------------------
Add up the two groups :
<span> (3m - 8) • </span><span> (2m2 + 5)</span>
<span>Which is the desired factorization</span>
<span>3m-8 is the answer</span>
