Answer:

The reason why it is incorrect to cancel the 4x in the numerator with the 4x in the denominator is because 4x is not a factor of both the numerator and the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the rational expression, x^2 + 4x - 12 given above is a quadratic equation. It is not factorizable. If we factorize the numerator, 4x - 8, we would have

4 (x - 2).

This means 4x is not a factor of the numerator(4x - 8) and neither is it a factor of the denominator (x^2 + 4x - 12). This is the reason why it is incorrect to cancel the 4x in the numerator with the 4x in the denominator. The factors of the denominator can only be gotten by using the general formula for solving quadratic equations

if a + b + c = 9 and a square + b square + c square = 35 the find the value of ab + bc + ca .​ I am in need of help
Advocard [28]

a+b+c=9 and a2+b2+c2=35 then by using identity

(a+b+c)2=a2+b2+c2+2ab+2bc+2ca,we get the answer 9x9=35+2(ab+bc+ca)

2(ab+bc+ca)=9x9-35

2(ab+bc+ca) =81-35then we get ab+bc+ca=46/2 so ab+bc+ca=23

A stone is thrown upward from ground level. With what minimum speed should the stone be thrown so as to reach a height of 81 fee
butalik [34]
Use the kinematics equation:
v1^2-v0^2=2as
since v1=0 (at height of 81 ft), and a=g=-32.2, substitute values:

0-v0^2=2*(-32.2)(81 ft)
Solve for v0
v0=sqrt(2*32.2*81)=72.2 m/s
