Question 102782This question is from textbook Intermediate Algebra
: I would be forever indebted with Gratitude if someone could please help me figure out this problem and explain how they reached the answer in detail;
PROFESSORS INSTRUCTIONS:
Make sure to superscript all exponents. Show all factoring in your work. Use the Insert and Symbols menus in Word to present the radical √ symbol. Remember that radicands must be enclosed within [ ]. Typing your work vertically is preferred but optional. If you choose to type horizontally, make sure you are appropriately using grouping symbols.
1. Simplify the rational expression:
x2 – 7x + 12
x2 – 16 NOTE: there should be a line between the upper and lower terms.
I just don't know how to insert it in this program.
Thank You So Very Much! This question is from textbook Intermediate Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x^2 – 7x + 12) / (x^2 – 16)
[(x-6)(x-1)] / [(x-4)(x+4)]
------------------
No further simplifying can be done.
