\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+5x+6} / \frac{x^2+5x+4}{x^2-2x-8}

We can begin by rearranging this into multiplication:

\frac{x^2-16}{x^2+5x+6} * \frac{x^2-2x-8}{x^2+5x+4}

Now we can factor the numerators and denominators:

\frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{(x+3)(x+2)} * \frac{(x-4)(x+2)}{(x+4)(x+1)}

The factors (x+4) and (x+2) cancel out, leaving us with:

\frac{(x-4)}{(x+3)} * \frac{(x-4)}{(x+1)}

Our answer comes out to be:

\frac{(x-4)^{2} }{(x+3)(x+1)} or \frac{ x^{2} -8x+16}{ x^{2}+4x+3 }

Based on the numerator of the second fraction (since we used its inverse), the denominators of both, and the factors we canceled out earlier, the restrictions are x ≠ -4, -3, -2, -1, 4

The length of the hypotenuse of a 30-60 -90 triangle is 14 units. what is the length of the short leg
kifflom [539]

Recall that the short leg is the side opposite the 30 degrees angle. And the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2.

Let the length of the short leg be x, then,

\cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{1}{2}\\ \\\Rightarrow2x=14\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{14}{2}=7
