***Medal & Fan Reward*** Give the equivalent numerator if the denominator is (x - 5)(x + 4)(x + 3). ***Please Explain*** ***Attachment below***

By equivalent numerator, you mean that the new rational expression should still be equal to the one you posted, given that the denominator is such?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm idk lol i know the given denominator should be the denominator in the final answer... so its like your trying to find the equivalent fraction.... like if 24 was the denominator and your trying to your numerator with the equivalent fraction of 5/6 the answer would be 20... so idk if i answered your question but this is the best way i can explain this :)

Bribery:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thats the only way people come and try to attempt to answer... When i just post the question no one even looks at it.... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why's that?, most questions seem to get an answer eventually....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IDK... and most of mine does not get answered.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mines are on here for weeks then i just close it after a wile

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Anyway... the denominator is already equal to (x-5)(x+4), so all you need do now is to multiply the whole fraction to (x+3)/(x+3)

*while

I dont mean to intrude, but maybe you should message the people you have fanned. Im pretty sure they wont mine helping. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

terenzreignz answer looks right, is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel thats kinda weird @aussy123 and when i multiplied i got x^2-3/x^3-x^2-60 @terenzreignz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel thats wrong

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Just leave it in factored form. It looks neat that way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Give the equivalent numerator" so (x+3)(x-1) U think it is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was talking about my answer when i multiplied was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not @terenzreignz @estudier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, yes it is not equal to x^2-3, that's true....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+3)(x-1) is equal to x^2 +2x -3 but I think u could leave it factored as terenzreignz suggested...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Rewards are so awesome :D lol jk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is that the final answer?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

If you mean (x-1)(x+3), then yes, unless you want to evaluate the product, in which case, feel free to have that as your final answer :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!

No prob :D
