Simplify. x-2/(x^2+4x-12)

In order to solve this you need to factor the denominator. 
x^2 +4x - 12
I see that 12 is a product of 6 and 2 and 4 and 3 and 1 and 12.
I pick the two products that, when added together, give me the 4x term.
Here it's 6 and two I just need to make one of them a negative.
now put them in this form:
(x + 6)(x-2) 
In the fraction I see that there is an x-2 in the numerator. This can cancel out with the x-2 in the denominator. Now you have 1/x-6 but remember you can never have a zero in the denominator so x can't equal -6. 
And you're done!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$ You did not state whether this is simple or compound interest.$ \\ \\ $Simple$ \\ \\ A=Prt\\ \\ t= \frac{A}{Pr}\\ \\ t= \frac{10100}{4400(.07)}\approx 33 \\ \\ $ Compound $ \\ \\ A=P(1+r)^t\\ \\ t=ln\frac{A}{P}/ln(1+r)\\ \\ t=ln\frac{10100}{4400}/ln(1.07)\\ \\ t\approx 12

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

f ( x ) = -3x + 1

to find it's inverse let f(x)= y

y= -3x + 1

x = - 3y + 1

-3y = x -1

y = -(x -1)/3

Hope this helps.

GEOMETRY QUESTION: Christina has two similar Cubical Planters, Cube A and Cube B. The side of Cube A is 20ft., and the side of C
inysia [295]

Cube a to cube b is 1:3.  This is a one-to-one measure.  If we want volume ratios, we have to take the one-to-one ratios and cube them.  Like this: which simplifies to .  This means that the volume of the smaller object is 27 times smaller than the volume of the larger.
