Answer:

The answer <em>should </em>be:

=\frac{8x^3-18x}{3x+2}

The closest answer is A, so I'll go with that.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the rational expression:

\frac{4x^3-9x}{2x-7}\div\frac{3x^2+2x^2}{4x^2-14x}

First, remove the division sign. To do so, turn the division into multiplication and flip the second term:

\frac{4x^3-9x}{2x-7}\cdot \frac{4x^2-14x}{3x^2+2x}

Now, simplify. From the first term, in the numerator, factor out a x. On the second term, factor out a 2x in the numerator and a x in the denominator:

\frac{x(4x^2-9)}{2x-7}\cdot\frac{2x(2x-7)}{x(3x+2)}

Multiply straight across:

\frac{x(4x^2-9)(2x)(2x-7)}{(2x-7)(x)(3x+2)}

Cancel out the (2x-7):

\frac{x(4x^2-9)(2x)}{x(3x+2)}

Cancel out the x:

\frac{(2x)(4x^2-9)}{(3x+2)}

At this point, we can factor the (4x^2-9) term, but we won't be able to cancel it out. Thus, this is the simplest it can get.

To get the answer, expand the numerator:

=\frac{8x^3-18x}{3x+2}

Thus, the answer is...

A?

Answer:

The right solution is option a : \frac{8x^2 - 18}{3x+2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the following rational expression,

\frac{4x^3-9x}{2x-7} ÷ \frac{3x^3+2x^2}{4x^2-14x}

Take into account the rule (a / b) / (c / d) = ad / bc. This simplifies the expression a bit further --- (1)

\left(4x^3-9x\right)\left(4x^2-14x\right) ÷ \left(2x-7\right)\left(3x^3+2x^2\right)

Let's now factor each individual expression as demonstrated below. Afterwards we can substitute back into the expression above --- (2)

Goal - Factor : (4x³ - 9x)(4x² - 14x),

4x³ - 9x ⇒ x(4x² - 9)

4x² - 14x ⇒ 2x(2x - 7)

x\left(4x^2-9\right)\cdot \:2x\left(2x-7\right) = 2x^2\left(4x^2-9\right)\left(2x-7\right)

That leaves us with the following expression,

2x^2\left(4x^2-9\right)\left(2x-7\right) ÷ \left(2x-7\right)\left(3x^3+2x^2\right)

As you can see the " 2x - 7 " cancel out, and the " x² " cancel as well, leaving us with a further simplified expression,

2\left(4x^2-9\right) ÷ 3x+2

Which can also be rewritten as 8x^2 - 18 ÷ 3x + 2 = \frac{8x^2 - 18}{3x+2}, <u>in other words the first option.</u>

Answer:

  (2, 14), (3, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The way these angles are numbered, corresponding angle numbers differ by 4, 8, or 12.

Corresponding angles are ...

  Angle 2 and Angle 14 . . . . . . numbers differ by 12

  Angle 3 and Angle 7 . . . . . . . numbers differ by 4

_____

If a given angle is Northwest of the intersection, any corresponding angle will also be Northwest of its intersection. Corresponding angles are ...

  northwest: {1, 5, 9, 13}

  northeast: {2, 6, 10, 14}

  southeast: {3, 7, 11, 15}

  southwest: {4, 8, 12, 16}

Any pair of numbers from the same set will be corresponding angles.
