Step 1 is to factor everything! 

After factoring you will get:

x-5 over (x+2)(x+5) times x+4 over (x-3)(x+4)

Step 2 is to remove the duplicate factors!
Remove x+4 and x+5

x-5 over (x+2)(x-5) times 1 over x-3 = 1 over x+2 times 1 over x-3 

Step 3 is to multiply the numerators and the denominators.

End result is 1 over (x+2)(x-3)

Answer: Our simplified form will be

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{x-5}{x^2-3x-10}\times \frac{x+4}{x^2+x-12}

So, first we split the middle term of the denominator ,

x^2-3x-10=0\\\\=x^2-5x+2x-10\\\\=x(x-5)+2(x-5)\\\\=(x-5)(x+2)

Similarly,

x^2+x-12=0\\\\x^2+4x-3x-12=0\\\\x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\\\(x+4)(x-3)=0

Now, we put in our expression above:

\frac{x-5}{(x-5)(x+2)}\times \frac{x+4}{(x-3)(x+4)}\\\\=\frac{1}{x+2}\times \frac{1}{x-3}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

Hence, our simplified form will be

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

What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x) = x3 − x2 − 12x?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

x = 0, x = 4, x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out the x, which makes it x(x^2-x-12)

Then it will be x(x-4)(x+3)

x = 0

x - 4 = 0, x = 4

x + 3 = 0, x = -3
