Answer: Simplified form will be

\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{5x^2-21x-20}{5x^2-16x-16}

We need to simplify the expression, we get,

\frac{5x^2-25x+4x-20}{5x^2-20x+4x-16}\\\\\text{We will split the middle terms}\\\\=\frac{5x(x-5)+4(x-5)}{5x(x-4)+4(x-4)}\\\\=\frac{(5x+4)(x-4)}{(5x+4)(x-4)}\\\\\text{ Cancel the common terms}\\\\=\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Hence, simplified form will be

\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

What is x equal to?<br><br> 3(x + 5) = 2(3x + 18)
Anna [14]
<span>3(x + 5) = 2(3x + 18)
Use the distributive property:
3(x)+5(3)=2(3x)+18(2)
Simplify:
3x+15=6x+36
6x+36=3x+15
3x+36=15
3x=-21
x=-7

Check answer:
3(-7+5)=2(-21+18)
3(-2)=2(-3)
-6=-6

Hope this helps :)

Write the cubic polynomial function f(x)in expanded form with zeros −6,−5,and −1, given that f(0)=60
RSB [31]

Answer:

f(x)=2x^{3}+24x^{2}+82x+60

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The roots of the polynomial are the values of x when the value of the polynomial f(x) is equal to zero

The roots of the polynomial function are

x=-6 -----> (x+6)=0

x=-5 -----> (x+5)=0

x=-1 -----> (x+1)=0

The equation of the cubic polynomial is

f(x)=a(x+6)(x+5)(x+1)

where

a is the leading coefficient

Remember that

f(0)=60

That means ------> For x=0 the value of f(x) is equal to 60

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the function and solve for a

60=a(0+6)(0+5)(0+1)

60=a(6)(5)(1)

60=30a

a=2

so

f(x)=2(x+6)(x+5)(x+1)

Applying the distributive property

Convert to expanded form                  

f(x)=2(x+6)(x+5)(x+1)\\\\f(x)=2(x+6)(x^{2}+x+5x+5)\\\\f(x)=2(x+6)(x^{2}+6x+5)\\\\f(x)=2(x^{3}+6x^{2}+5x+6x^{2}+36x+30)\\\\f(x)=2x^{3}+24x^{2}+82x+60
