Answer:
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
One is given the following equation:
The problem asks one to simplify the expression, the first step in solving this equation is to factor the equation. Rewrite the numerator and denominator of the fraction as the product of two expressions. Remember the factoring patterns:
Now simplify the numerator. Remember, taking the square root of a squared value is the same as taking the absolute value of the expression,
Rewrite the expression without the absolute value sign in the numerator. Remember the general rule for removing the absolute value sign:
or 
or 
Simplify both expressions, reduce by canceling out common terms in both the numerator and the denominator,
or
or 
Simplify further by rewriting the expression without the parenthesis, remember to distribute the sign outside the parenthesis by the terms inside of the parenthesis; note that negative times negative equals positive.

<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... " This implies that you were given several answer choices. If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.
I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division. See below:
f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation. Thanks.
Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35: plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7. Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case. If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them: 5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.
Provided that you have copied down the function
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35 properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly. Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.
By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2. There is another root.
Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:
___________________________
7/2 / 6 -21 -4 24 -35
21 0 -14 35
----------- ------------------------------
6 0 -4 10 0
Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial. Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
3/8 as a decimal would be 0.375
Prime numbers 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23
so 2+3+5=10 no
3+5+7=15 no
3+5+11=19 Yes this is your answer
