How do I simplify this expression?

We can write

3x^{3/2}-9x^{1/2}+6x^{-1/2}=3x^{2-1/2}-9x^{1-1/2}+6x^{-1/2}

and see that each term has a common factor of 3x^{-1/2}; factoring this from each term gives

3x^{3/2}-9x^{1/2}+6x^{-1/2}=3x^{-1/2}(x^2-3x+2)

We can factorize this further:

3x^{-1/2}(x-2)(x-1)

This is probably what is meant by "simplify"...

Amanda [17]
Given:
descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes.

320 feet per minute * 3 minutes = 960 feet

Total change in altitude is 960 feet. Since it is descending, I believe it would be a negative 960 feet.

A new television set was recently purchased for the common room in a residence hall for $436.80 including tax the tax rate is 4%
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The price of the television before taxes is $420

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The purchased price = cost price +  taxes

- A new television set was recently purchased for the common room

 in a residence hall for $436.80

- This price including tax

- The tax rate is 4%

- We need to find the price of the television before taxes

* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>

- Assume that the price of the television before tax is 100%

∵ The tax rate is 4%

∵ The price after tax = price before tax + tax

∵ The price before tax = 100%

∴ The price after tax  = 100% + 4% = 104%

∵ 104% equivalent to $436.80

∴ 100   ⇒   ?

  104   ⇒   436.80

- <em>By using cross multiplication</em>

∴ ? = \frac{(436.80)(100)}{104}=420

∴ The price of the television before taxes is $420
