Given:

f(x) = 3x - 1

g(x) = x + 2

To Find:

Simplify completely quantity 4 x squared minus 32 x plus 48 all over quantity 3 x squared minus 17 x minus 6. (1 point)
Galina-37 [17]

Given rational expression is:


\frac{(4x^2-32x+48)}{(3x^2-17x-6)}

Now we can simplify this by factoring as shown below:


=\frac{4(x^2-8x+12)}{(3x^2-17x-6)}


=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{(3x^2-18x+1x-6)}


=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{3x\left(x-6\right)+1\left(x-6\right)}


=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{(3x+1)\left(x-6\right)}


=\frac{4(x-2)}{(3x+1)}



Hence final answer is \frac{4(x-2)}{(3x+1)}
