8 feet times 6 feet is 48 feet, B x H = A for rectangles...
You have to make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same via multiplication, it's best to do it to the first number they meet at. that would be fifteen (15)
5×3=15
3×5=15
you then have to multiply the numerators by the respective numbers.
2×3=6
1×5=5
you then subtract the numerators normally
6-5=1
slap back on the denominator
1/15
there's your answer.
(the number you multiply them by isn't the other denominator, it just happens to be the denominators for this equation)
Factoring the cubic you get: <span>(x - 2)^2 (x-4) , so we know the multiplicity is the amount of times a root shows in an equation because the equation (x-2) has a exponent of 2 that means the root 2 has a multiplicity of 2.</span>
Answer: 2
