Express the product in simplest form.

Dmitry [639]

The product in simplest form is (x - 4)

Solution:

Given expression is:

$\frac{8}{2x+8} \times \frac{x^2-16}{4}$

We have to find the product in simplest form

In the given expression,

2x + 8 = 2(x+ 4)

We know that,

$a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Therefore,

$x^2-16 = x^2-4^2 =(x+4)(x-4)$

Substitute these in given expression

$\frac{8}{2(x+4)} \times \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4}$

Cancel the common factors,

$\frac{8}{2(x+4)} \times \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{4} = x - 4$

Thus the product in simplest form is (x - 4)

Can someone explain to me how to do this?

elena55 [62]

In the slope intercept form equation of a line (y=ax+b) a represents the slope, and b represents the intercept, which is -5. Thus, we know y=ax-5. The slope can be found by creating a fraction with the change in y value on top, and the change of x value on the bottom. If we have two points (4, 1) and (0, -5) we can put this into a fraction - $\frac{-5-1}{0-4}$ , which simplifies down to -6/-4, or 3/2. Thus the answer is f(x)= $\frac{3}{2}$ x-5
