Use excel to draw the graph and add the trend, formula
first simplify the numerator (x+3)(x-2)=x^2-2x+3x-6=x^2+x-6
now factor the numerator (x+3)(x-2)
now find the restriction 3x-6=0 3x=6 x=2
now factor the denominator 3(x-2)
((x+3)(x-2))/3(x-2)
now cross off the (x-2)
and you are left with (x+3)/3
ANSWERS:
The restriction is X=2
The simplified fraction is (x+3)/3
2n-9-5-8n+4n
= 2n-14-4n
=2n-14
Consider one pyramid
Side length of base = 1.5cm and its height is 1 cm
Slant height of one of the lateral faces = sqrt(1^2 + 0.75^2) = 1.25 cm
Area of one of the triangular faces = 0.5 * 1.5* 1.25 = 0.9375 cm^2
There are 8 of these so the required surface area = 8 * 0.9375
= 7.5 cm^2 Answer
