When simplifying 4x^3-10x^2+6x/2x^3+x^2-3x, what are the term(s) that can be cancelled

brilliants [131]

Answer:

x can be cancelled

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$\frac{4x^3-10x^2+6x}{2x^3+x^2-3x}$

Firstly, we will factor numerator and denominator

and then we can factor it

$4x^3-10x^2+6x=2x(2x^2-5x+3)$

$4x^3-10x^2+6x=2x(2x+1)(x-3)$

now, we can factor denominator

$2x^3+x^2-3x=x(2x^2+x-3)$

$2x^3+x^2-3x=x(x-1)(2x+3)$

now, we can replace it

$\frac{4x^3-10x^2+6x}{2x^3+x^2-3x}=\frac{2x(2x+1)(x-3)}{x(x-1)(2x+3)}$

we can see that

both terms are having x common

so, x can be cancelled

So,

x can be cancelled

Can you please help me with#11?I'm not sure how to find the answer.

Answer:

You need to find the x and y intercepts so...

The x intercept is (18,0) since x=18

The y intercept is (0,12) since y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Cover the y when you are finding the y intercept

Cover the x when you are finding the x intercept

8x/8

144/8

=18

12y/12

144/112

=12
