Question

Subtract. X^2+5x+6 / -(x^2+2x+1)

Answer 1

i think its x+5/ -(x+1)

Answer 2

@danni25 Is it subtraction or division?

Answer 3

subtraction

Answer 4

You mean this
\[(x^2+5x+6)-(x^2+2x+1)\]?

Answer 5

No its written in the book as x^2+5x+6 over -(x^2+2x+1)

Answer 6

so if it gets reduced, its what i said before^^

Answer 7

then it's just reduction, you need to factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common terms

Answer 8

anybody think they can help me on my question? c:

Answer 9

We have this
\[\large \frac{(x^2+5x+6)}{-(x^2+2x+1)}\]
Let's factor the numerator first
\[x^2+5x+6\]
A standard quadratic equation is of the form
\[ax^2+bx+c\]
comparing the two we get
a=1
b=6
c=5
now we need to find the factors of \(a\times c=5\times 1=5\) such that their sum is b (i.e 6)
1 and 5 satisfy this
so we can write
\[x^2+6x+5=x^2+5x+x+5\]
Now it's easy to factor
\[x(x+5)+1(x+5)\]
Taking \(x+5\) common, we get
\[(x+5)(x+1)\]
Do you get this?
