SOLUTION: Please help me solve this problem: f(x) = x^2-4x /2x^3 +2x^2-12x. The first section up to the 4x is on top of the fraction bar and everything else after it is below the fraction b
Question 137741: Please help me solve this problem: f(x) = x^2-4x /2x^3 +2x^2-12x. The first section up to the 4x is on top of the fraction bar and everything else after it is below the fraction bar. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve this problem: f(x) = x^2-4x /2x^3 +2x^2-12x
---------------
Factor to get:
f(x) = [x(x-4)]/[2x(x^2+x-6)]
f(x) = [x(x-4)] / [2x(x+3)(x-2)]
-------------------------
Comment: You did't say what you need to do with the equation.
If you are looking for the roots or zeroes, set the numerator
equal to zero :
x(x-4)= 0
x=0 or x=4
