$\dfrac{7}{12}x-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\LCM(12,\ 3,\ 2,\ 8)=24\\\\\text{multiply both sides by 24}\\\\24\cdot\dfrac{7}{12}x-12\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}=12\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+24\cdot\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\2\cdot7x-8=12+3\cdot3\\\\14x-8=12+9\\\\14x-8=21\qquad|\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\14x=29\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 14}\\\\x=\dfrac{29}{14}$

Factor the polynomial 4x4 – 20x2 – 3x2 + 15 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?

siniylev [52]

Factoring the polynomial $4x^4-20x^2-3x^2 + 15$ by grouping means separation of the polynomial in two addends, each of them consists of two addends:

$4x^4-20x^2-3x^2 + 15=(4x^4-20x^2)+(-3x^2+15).$

In first brackets the common factor is $4x^2,$ in second brackets the common factor is $-3.$

Then

$(4x^4-20x^2)+(-3x^2+15)=4x^2(x^2-5)-3(x^2-5)=(x^2-5)(4x^2-3).$

Trick question. It isn't any of the above. Any number divided by 0 is undefined.
