(-36x^4y+144x²y^6) / (-4x²y) =
36xy*(x³+4xy^5) / (-4x²y) =
-9*(x³+4xy^5) / x
Answer:
LCM of 5, 10, and 12 is 60
6, 10, and 12 is 60
2, 4, and 9 is 36
For A:
You add the probabilities to get the answer to A: = .75, or 3/4
Note that the probability of ALL THREE of them hitting would be 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/5.
For B:
2/3 and 3/4 is the probability of the other two people MISSING (the remainder of 1/3, 1/4)
1.0 = 100% chance to hit the target, so 1.0 x 2/3 x 3/4 = 1/2
Mark's chance of hitting is 1/5, so do 1/2 x 1/5, = 1/10
The product would expand to
This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable 
.
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require
In the second case, we require
But must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
