What is the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the rational expression below? 5x-20/x^2-2x-8

1 answer:

8 0

Factories both equations:
5(x - 4) / (x + 2)(x - 4)

Then take out the common brackets:
5 / x + 2

Minus 2 from both sides:
3 / x

If you are looking for the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator, the answer would be (x - 4)

Find the zeroes of the polynomial function f(x)=x^4-5x^3+11x^2-25x+30.

katen-ka-za [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁴ − 5x³ + 11x² − 25x + 30

x⁴ − 5x³ + 6x² + 5x² − 25x + 30

x² (x² − 5x + 6) + 5 (x² − 5x + 6)

(x² + 5) (x² − 5x + 6)

(x² + 5) (x − 2) (x −3)

The zeros are 2, 3, and ±√5i.

A container of bread contains: 8 red beads, 6 yellow beads, and 6 green beads. A bread will be drawn from the basket and replace

Kitty [74]

The answer is 42 because you have to add up all of the colors together then add how many red and green you have then we multiple 60 times 14/20 and we get 840/20 so then we divide 840 by 20 and we get 42 so our answer is 42 if you haven’t got it already i don’t see any dates for these
