12/9 reduced in simplest form would be 4/3 or 1 1/3. You can pick which one you want to do :). They are both the same thing just one is an improper fraction and the other is a mixed number. I got this answer by dividing both the top and the bottom (The denominator and the numerator) by three.
Given expression is x² - 121
This is called Difference of Squared terms, we have a formula that is given as :-
a² - b² = (a - b) · (a + b)
Now using the above formula in the given expression, we get :-
x² - 121
x² - (11)²
here a = x and b = 11
x² - (11)² = (x - 11) · (x + 11)
but it says that student gave the answer as (x - 11) · (x - 11).
So, student's answer should be (x - 11) · (x + 11) instead of product of two (x - 11) terms.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 fractions with the numerator and different denominators can be compared when you find the lowest common denominators (LCD. For example 1/2 and 1/3 have the same numerator, but the denominators are not so you have to find the LCD. The LCD, in this case, is 6, so the fractions would be 3/6 and 2/6 and now if you compare you can tell that 3/6 is greater than 2/6 so 1/2 is greater than 1/3.
