Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor out numerator and denominator in order to simplify the rational expression by cancelling common factors.
Numerator : x^3 - 4 x = x (x^2 - 4) = x (x - 2) (x + 2)
Denominator (factoring by grouping):
x^2 - 5 x + 6 = x^2 - 3 x - 2 x + 6 = x (x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x - 2)
Then we can cancel out the common factor (x - 2) in both numerator and denominator, leading to:
x (x + 2) / (x - 3) = (x^2 + 2)/ (x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Water is the universal solvent" with a grain of salt (pun intended). Of course it cannot dissolve everything, but it does dissolve more substances than any other liquid, so the term fits pretty well. Water's solvent properties affect all life on Earth, so water is universally important to all of us.
8/10 or 4/5 is what makes up the remaining oceans
Answer: X = 1/4 or X = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x2+3x−1=0
(4x−1)(x+1)=0
4x−1=0 or x+1=0
4x=1 or x=-1
Now divide 4 from both sides
like this 4x/4=1/4
now cancel out two 4's so the answer will be x=1/4
