what do u mean

Answer 3

What does x^2+5x+6 factor to

Answer 4

i dont know im really confused in these algebra questions

Answer 5

Notice how 2 and 3 multiply to 6 and add to 5

So x^2+5x+6 factors to (x+2)(x+3)

Answer 6

What about the denominator

Answer 7

Yes, you can simplify this.
\[\frac{x^2+5x+6}{x^2+x-2}=\frac{(x+3)(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+2)}\]
After factoring. Thus, we get, after cancelling
\[\frac{(x+3)}{(x-1)}, x\neq-2\]

Answer 8

x^2+x-2 is the bottom part of the fraction

Answer 9

yes, can that be factored? if so, what does it factor to?

Answer 10

yes

wow this is hard

Answer 15

it will get easier with more practice

Answer 16

-2*1=-2

Answer 17

close, more like 2*(-1) = -2 and 2 + (-1) = 1

So it factors to (x+2)(x-1)

Answer 18

oh

Answer 19

You'll notice there's a 'x+2' up top and a 'x+2' in the bottom, they cancel and go away

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21
