What is the greatest common factor (gcf) of the numerator and denominator in the rational expression below? 7x+14/2x^2+x-6

Mashutka [201]

The answer is C. The numerator 7x+14 can be factored as 7(x+2). The denominator 2x^2+2x-6 can be factored as (x+2)(2x-3). The greatest common divisor of 7(x+2) and (x+2)(2x-3) is obviously x+2, which is contained in both of the two expressions.

the function of y= x^2 - 4x + 8 approximates the height y, of a bird and its horizontal distance, x as it flies from one fence p

Vika [28.1K]

Rewrite the given equation as
$y=x^2-4x+8=x^2-4x+4+4=(x-2)^2+4$ .
Since $(x-2)^2\ge 0$ , you can conclude that the imimum value of y will be gained for the minimum value of $(x-2)^2$ . The minimum value of $(x-2)^2$ is 0 for x=2.
So, y(2)=0+4=4.
Answer: minimum value of y is 4, when x=2.
