Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

(x-2)/(x-5)

Discussion:

Factor the numerator and denominator:

x^2 + x - 6 = (x+3)(x-2)

x^2-2x-15 = (x+3)(x-5)

( x^2 + x - 6) / x^2-2x-15 = ( (x+3)(x-2) ) / ( (x+3)(x-5) )

Cancelling the (x+3) term in numerator and denominator gives

(x-2)/(x-5)

Regards,

MrB

Given the function, check all transformations that occurred from the graph of the function y=x^2

Hatshy [7]

Answer: left 7 units, up 4 units, and vertical compression

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The function is $y=x^2$

First shift it to the left by 7 units, so the function becomes

$y=(x+7)^2$

Now compress it to make it one-third

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}(x+7)^2$

Now, sift the graph upward by 4 units

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}(x+7)^2+4$

Thus , the conditions are left 7 units, up 4 units, and vertical compression.
