Answer:
The two polynomials are:
(x + 1) and (x² + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is simply an expression which consists of variables & coefficients involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non - negative integer exponents of variables.
Now, 1 and x are both polynomials. Thus; 1/x is already a quotient of a polynomial.
Now, to get two polynomial expressions whose quotient, when simplified, is 1/x, we will just multiply the numerator and denominator by the same polynomial to get more quotients.
So,
Let's multiply both numerator and denominator by (x + 1) to get;
(x + 1)/(x(x + 1))
This gives; (x + 1)/(x² + x)
Now, 1 and x are both polynomials but the expression "1/x" is not a polynomial but a quotient and thus polynomials are not closed under division.
The LCM of 12,16, and 20 would be 240
1: slope = 2/1 or 2
2: slope = 5/-5
3: slope = 3/2
4: slope = 7/-4
5: slope = 3/5
6: slope = 2/-8
7: slope = 6/2 or 3
8: slope = 2/-4
9: slope = 1/6
