5 0

Answer:

(x-6)/(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2-4x-12)=(x^2+2x-6x-12)

X(X+2)-6(X+2)

(x-6)(X+2)

(x^2-4)

= (x-2)(x+2)

(x-6)(X+2)/(x-2)(X+2)

(x-6)/(x-2)

Answer:

${ \tt{time = \frac{distance}{time} }} \\$

speed is 20 km/hr
distance is 13 km

${ \tt{time = \frac{13}{20} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: time = 0.65 \: hours}}}$

Match the following rational expressions to their rewritten forms.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Answer image is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rational expressions:

$1.\ \dfrac{x^2+x+4}{x-2}\\2.\ \dfrac{x^2-x+4}{x-2}\\3.\ \dfrac{x^2-4x+10}{x-2}\\4.\ \dfrac{x^2-5x+16}{x-2}$

And the rewritten forms:

$(x-2)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\(x+3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}\\(x+1)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\(x-3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}$

We have to match the rewritten terms with the given expressions.

Let us consider the rewritten terms and let us solve them one by one by taking LCM.

$(x-2)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x-2)^{2}+6 }{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-4x+4+6 }{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-4x+10}{x-2}$

So, correct option is 3.

$(x+3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x+3)(x-2)+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x^2+3x-2x-6)+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2+x+4}{x-2}$

So, correct option is 1.

$(x+1)+\dfrac{6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x+1)(x-2)+6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^{2} +x-2x-2+6}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^{2} -x+4}{x-2}$

So, correct option is 2.

$(x-3)+\dfrac{10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x-3)(x-2)+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-3x-2x+6+10}{x-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2-5x+16}{x-2}$

So, correct option is 4.
