<PRE><B>Question 555584</B>
what is the answer in the retional expression 6c raised to two minus 23c minus 4 all over c raised to two minus 6c plus 8? please show the solution.
-----
(6c^2 - 23c - 4)/(c^2 -6c + 8)
---
Factor:(6c^2-24c+c-4) / [(c-4)(c-2)]
----
= [(6c)(c-4)+(c-4)] / [(c-4)(c-2)]
----
= [(c-4)(6c+1)] / [(c-4)(c-2)]
----
Cancel the common (c-4) factors:
-----
= (6c+1)/(c-2)
