Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do -8 / 1/4 you get -2 as an answer. However if you do 8 / 1/4 you only get 2 as an answer. Thus meaning the answer is 8. Hope this helps.

Can someone please help me factor this

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\:1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ x ^ { 2 } -4x+3 }{ x ^ { 2 } -7x+12 } \times \frac{ x ^ { 2 } +2x-24 }{ x ^ { 2 } +5x-6 } ^ { }$

Take $\frac{ x ^ { 2 } -4x+3 }{ x ^ { 2 } -7x+12 }$ & factorise it at first.

$\frac{ x ^ { 2 } -4x+3 }{ x ^ { 2 } -7x+12 } \\= \frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)}\\= \frac{x-1}{x-4}$

Now factorise the next set : $\frac{ x ^ { 2 } +2x-24 }{ x ^ { 2 } +5x-6 } ^ { }$ .

$\frac{ x ^ { 2 } +2x-24 }{ x ^ { 2 } +5x-6 } ^ { }\\= \frac{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+6\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+6\right)}\\= \frac{x-4}{x-1}$

Now, multiply the two simplified results.

$\frac{ x ^ { 2 } -4x+3 }{ x ^ { 2 } -7x+12 } \times \frac{ x ^ { 2 } +2x-24 }{ x ^ { 2 } +5x-6 } ^ { }\\= \frac{x-1}{x-4}\times \frac{x-4}{x-1} \\= \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-1\right)} \\= \boxed{\bf\: 1}$

$|\Omega|=11\cdot10=110\\
|A|=4\cdot4=16\\\\
P(A)=\dfrac{16}{110}=\dfrac{8}{55}$

$\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄$

Let's simply ~

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: - 5 {x}^{2} (4x - 6 {x}^{2} - 3)$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:( - 5x {}^{2} \times 4x) - ( - 5 {x}^{2} \times 6 {x}^{2} ) - ( - 5 {x}^{2} \times 3)$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: - 20 {x}^{3} - ( - 30 {x}^{4} ) - ( - 15 {x}^{2} )$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: - 20 {x}^{3} + 30 {x}^{4} + 15 {x}^{2}$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:30 {x}^{4} - 20 {x}^{3} + 15 {x}^{2}$
