Simplify the following:
((x^2 - 11 x + 30) (x^2 + 6 x + 5))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))

The factors of 5 that sum to 6 are 5 and 1. So, x^2 + 6 x + 5 = (x + 5) (x + 1):
((x + 5) (x + 1) (x^2 - 11 x + 30))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))

The factors of 30 that sum to -11 are -5 and -6. So, x^2 - 11 x + 30 = (x - 5) (x - 6):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))

x - 5 x = -4 x:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (-4 x - 6))

Factor -2 out of -4 x - 6:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3) (x^2 - 25))

x^2 - 25 = x^2 - 5^2:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (x^2 - 5^2) (2 x + 3))

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 5^2 = (x - 5) (x + 5):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2(x - 5) (x + 5) (2 x + 3))

((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x - 5) (x + 5) (-2) (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 5) (x + 5))/((x - 5) (x + 5))×((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)):
((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3))

Multiply numerator and denominator of ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) by -1:

Answer: (-(x - 6) (x + 1))/(2 (2 x + 3))

What is the Equation of this Trend line<br><br> K=_ J+_
Yuri [45]

Answer:so the standard form is y = mx + b

m is the slope (rise/run)

b is the y-intercept or where the slope intercepts the y-axis

so you end up with

k = (4/-2)j + 24

simplify this to

k = -2j + 24

Solve for x 4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5 (3x + 24)
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

expand

simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72

simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42

add 7.5x to both sides

simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72

subtract 72 from both sides

simplify 42 - 72 to -30

divide both sides by 3

simplify 30/3 to 10

Answer: x = -10

For the function y=-3+ cos (x + 4)], what is the minimum value?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

-4 is the mimumum of y=-3+cos(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value of y=cos(x) is -1.

The minimum value of y=cos(x+4) is still -1; the +4 inside the cosine function only affected the horizontal shift.

The minimum value of y=-3+cos(x+4) is -3-1 which is -4.  This brought the graph down 3 units so if the minimum was previously -1 and it got brought down 3 units then it's new minimum is -4.
