Ok, to start, let's look at the terms given in this trinomial: 6x^2, -12x, and 9.
Now, let's try to find the greatest common factor of the three terms, which would be 3. One way to do this would be to take each term and break it down using prime factorization, which would look like this:
6x^2= 2*3*x*x
-12x= -1*3*2*2*x
9= 3*3

When you look at the numbers when they are broken down, they all seem to share one factor, which is 3. This would be the greatest common factor you would factor out of the trinomial, and when you do so it should look like this

3(2x^2-4x+3) which would be your answer

How to use denominators when comparing two fractions with the same numerators

Sholpan [36]

What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!
