Answer:

(3 x + 2) (4 x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

12 x^2 + 17 x + 6

Factor the quadratic 12 x^2 + 17 x + 6. The coefficient of x^2 is 12 and the constant term is 6. The product of 12 and 6 is 72. The factors of 72 which sum to 17 are 8 and 9. So 12 x^2 + 17 x + 6 = 12 x^2 + 9 x + 8 x + 6 = 3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2):

3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2):

Answer: (3 x + 2) (4 x + 3)

Let f be defined as shown on the graph. Which statement is true?

satela [25.4K]

The inverse of f does NOT exist. The reason why is because the function fails the horizontal line test. Recall that the horizontal line test is a test where you try to see if you can pass a single horizontal line through more than one point on the function curve. If you can get the horizontal line to pass through more than one point, then it fails the test. It's very similar to the vertical line test.

Can u answer these for me with the work shown

babymother [125]

Answer:

$\frac{x^3 + 2x^2 -9x-18}{x^3-x^2-6x}= \frac{(x+3)}{x}$

$\frac{3x^2 - 5x - 2}{x^3 - 2x^2} = \frac{3x + 1}{x^2}$

$\frac{6 - 2x}{x^2 - 9} * \frac{15 + 5x}{4x}=-\frac{5}{2x}$

$\frac{x^2 -6x + 9}{5x - 15} / \frac{5}{3-x} = \frac{-(x-3)^2}{25}$

$\frac{x^3 - x^2 -x + 1}{x^2 - 2x+1}= x +1$

$\frac{9x^2 + 3x}{6x^2} = \frac{3x + 1}{2x}$

$\frac{x^2-3x+2}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x^2 - 2x} / \frac{x - 1}{x} = 3x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Simplify

Solving (1):

$\frac{x^3 + 2x^2 -9x-18}{x^3-x^2-6x}$

Factorize the numerator and the denominator

$\frac{x^2(x + 2) -9(x+2)}{x(x^2-x-6)}$

Factor out x+2 at the numerator

$\frac{(x^2 -9)(x+2)}{x(x^2-x-6)}$

Express x^2 - 9 as difference of two squares

$\frac{(x^2 -3^2)(x+2)}{x(x^2-x-6)}$

$\frac{(x -3)(x+3)(x+2)}{x(x^2-x-6)}$

Expand the denominator

$\frac{(x -3)(x+3)(x+2)}{x(x^2-3x+2x-6)}$

Factorize

$\frac{(x -3)(x+3)(x+2)}{x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))}$

$\frac{(x -3)(x+3)(x+2)}{x(x+2)(x-3)}$

Cancel out same factors

$\frac{(x+3)}{x}$

Hence:

$\frac{x^3 + 2x^2 -9x-18}{x^3-x^2-6x}= \frac{(x+3)}{x}$

Solving (2):

$\frac{3x^2 - 5x - 2}{x^3 - 2x^2}$

Expand the numerator and factorize the denominator

$\frac{3x^2 - 6x + x - 2}{x^2(x- 2)}$

Factorize the numerator

$\frac{3x(x - 2) + 1(x - 2)}{x^2(x- 2)}$

Factor out x - 2

$\frac{(3x + 1)(x - 2)}{x^2(x- 2)}$

Cancel out x - 2

$\frac{3x + 1}{x^2}$

Hence:

$\frac{3x^2 - 5x - 2}{x^3 - 2x^2} = \frac{3x + 1}{x^2}$

Solving (3):

$\frac{6 - 2x}{x^2 - 9} * \frac{15 + 5x}{4x}$

Express x^2 - 9 as difference of two squares

$\frac{6 - 2x}{x^2 - 3^2} * \frac{15 + 5x}{4x}$

Factorize all:

$\frac{2(3 - x)}{(x- 3)(x+3)} * \frac{5(3 + x)}{2(2x)}$

Cancel out x + 3 and 3 + x

$\frac{2(3 - x)}{(x- 3)} * \frac{5}{2(2x)}$

$\frac{3 - x}{x- 3} * \frac{5}{2x}$

Express $3 - x$ as $-(x - 3)$

$\frac{-(x-3)}{x- 3} * \frac{5}{2x}\\$

$-1 * \frac{5}{2x}$

$-\frac{5}{2x}$

Hence:

$\frac{6 - 2x}{x^2 - 9} * \frac{15 + 5x}{4x}=-\frac{5}{2x}$

Solving (4):

$\frac{x^2 -6x + 9}{5x - 15} / \frac{5}{3-x}$

Expand x^2 - 6x + 9 and factorize 5x - 15

$\frac{x^2 -3x -3x+ 9}{5(x - 3)} / \frac{5}{3-x}$

Factorize

$\frac{x(x -3) -3(x-3)}{5(x - 3)} / \frac{5}{3-x}$

$\frac{(x -3)(x-3)}{5(x - 3)} / \frac{5}{3-x}$

Cancel out x - 3

$\frac{(x -3)}{5} / \frac{5}{3-x}$

Change / to *

$\frac{(x -3)}{5} * \frac{3-x}{5}$

Express $3 - x$ as $-(x - 3)$

$\frac{(x -3)}{5} * \frac{-(x-3)}{5}$

$\frac{-(x-3)(x -3)}{5*5}$

$\frac{-(x-3)^2}{25}$

Hence:

$\frac{x^2 -6x + 9}{5x - 15} / \frac{5}{3-x} = \frac{-(x-3)^2}{25}$

Solving (5):

$\frac{x^3 - x^2 -x + 1}{x^2 - 2x+1}$

Factorize the numerator and expand the denominator

$\frac{x^2(x - 1) -1(x - 1)}{x^2 - x-x+1}$

Factor out x - 1 at the numerator and factorize the denominator

$\frac{(x^2 - 1)(x - 1)}{x(x -1)- 1(x-1)}$

Express x^2 - 1 as difference of two squares and factor out x - 1 at the denominator

$\frac{(x +1)(x-1)(x - 1)}{(x -1)(x-1)}$

$x +1$

Hence:

$\frac{x^3 - x^2 -x + 1}{x^2 - 2x+1}= x +1$

Solving (6):

$\frac{9x^2 + 3x}{6x^2}$

Factorize:

$\frac{3x(3x + 1)}{3x(2x)}$

Divide by 3x

$\frac{3x + 1}{2x}$

Hence:

$\frac{9x^2 + 3x}{6x^2} = \frac{3x + 1}{2x}$

Solving (7):

$\frac{x^2-3x+2}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x^2 - 2x} / \frac{x - 1}{x}$

Change / to *

$\frac{x^2-3x+2}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x^2 - 2x} * \frac{x}{x-1}$

Expand

$\frac{x^2-2x-x+2}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x^2 - 2x} * \frac{x}{x-1}$

Factorize

$\frac{x(x-2)-1(x-2)}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x(x - 2)} * \frac{x}{x-1}$

$\frac{(x-1)(x-2)}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x(x - 2)} * \frac{x}{x-1}$

Cancel out x - 2 and x - 1

$\frac{1}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x} * \frac{x}{1}$

Cancel out x

$\frac{1}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{1} * \frac{1}{1}$

$\frac{12x^2}{4x}$

$3x$

Hence:

$\frac{x^2-3x+2}{4x} * \frac{12x^2}{x^2 - 2x} / \frac{x - 1}{x} = 3x$
