2(x^2-2x+1)
Use a^2-2ab+b^2=(ab)^2
2(x^2x-x-2)
—————-
2(x-1)^2
Reduce the fraction with 2
x^2x-x-2
—————-
(x-1)^2
Factor out x from the expression
X*(x^2)-x-2
—————-
(x-1)^2
Factor out negative sign from the expression
X*(x+2)-(x-2)
—————-
(x-1)^2
Factor out x+2 from the expression
(x+2)(x-1)
—————-
(x-1)^2
Simplify the expression
x+2
——
x-1
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, we use the formula rise over run (y2-y1 over x2-x1)
So first, our y's: 7-5=2
And our x's: 12-4=8
2/8 simplifies to 1/4
As written, the denominator in both fractions is x, so the only restriction on the domain is ... x ≠ 0.
_____
We suspect you intend ...
... f(x) = 2/(x-4) +1/(x+2)
which is undefined when x = 4 or x = -2.
The domain is all real numbers except -2 and 4.
Answer:
1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
M, or slope, is needed to define if a set of lines are parallel or not.
