Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\

We can now cancel out (x+2)

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}

Next we factor out even more:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}

And we can now simplify it to:

=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3year
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.Find the sum​

The formula for Simple Interest = PRT

From above question, we have to find the Principal

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200

Hence,

R = 8%

T = 5 years

Rs 200 = P × 8% × 5

P = 200/8% × 5

P = Rs500

The principal = Rs 500

The simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.

Simple Interest = PRT

R = 18%

T = 3 years and 4 months

Converted to years

T = 3 + (4 months/12 months)

T = 3.33 years

Hence,

Simple Interest = Rs 500 × 18% × 3.33 years

= Rs 299.7
