Show that 3 - 2x^2 + 11x + 12 / x^2 +7x +12 can be simplified to x+6 / x+3
thx
3−2x2+11x+12x2+7x+12=3−(2x+3)(x+4)(x+3)(x+4)=3−2x+3x+3,x≠−4=3x+9x+3−2x+3x+3,x≠−4=x+6x+3,x≠−4
The answer you wanted :)
Check your question and make sure it is OK. "3 -" at the beginning??
ye its definitely 3- which is why im confused
i have no idea how you simplified the 3- can you explain that please thx
Max used the common denominator x + 3 as follows:
3/1 - [2x + 3 /x + 3] Use the common denominator of x + 3 and multiply it by 3:
3[x + 3] - [2x + 3] /[x + 3]
[3x + 9] [2x + 3]
_____ _ _____
[x + 3] [x + 3]
