\[\frac{ \frac{ 12x-96 }{ x^2-4x-32 } }{ \frac{ 6x^2-6x-12 }{ 3x+3 } }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 12x-96 }{ x^2-4x-32 }*\frac{ 3x+3 }{ 6x^2-6x-13 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you solve it now
OpenStudy (deadshot):
so, it's \[\frac{ 36x^2-288 }{ 6x^4+24x^2+416 }\] right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
dont solve it like that

factorize the terms
OpenStudy (deadshot):
So then it's \[\frac{ 18x^2-144 }{ 3x^4+12x^2+208 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh god
do you know factorization?
OpenStudy (deadshot):
Yes, you find the gcf and remove it from the terms, right?

12x-96
how else can you write this?
OpenStudy (deadshot):
12(x-8)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and 3x+3?
OpenStudy (deadshot):
3(x+1)

now
\[x^2-4x-32\]
can you factorize this?
OpenStudy (deadshot):
(x-8)(x+4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
very good
and the last term
\[6x^2-6x-13\]
OpenStudy (deadshot):
6(x+1)(x-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it was 12 not 13
sorry
and good
now put these values in the equation i gave you
and solve it
what you get?

OpenStudy (deadshot):
\[\frac{ 12(x-8) }{ (x-8)(x+4) }\times \frac{ 3(x+1) }{ 6(x+1)(x-2) }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now cancel the terms
x+1 ,x-8 gets canceled
and 2 times 6 is 12 so 6 gets canceled and 12 becomes 2
tell me the final answer
OpenStudy (deadshot):
\[\frac{ 6 }{ x^2+2x-8 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dont solve the brackets
\[\frac{ 6 }{ (x+4)(x-2) }\]
is your answer
OpenStudy (deadshot):
Oh, okay, Thanks!

and p.s.
\[\frac{ \frac{ a }{ b } }{ \frac{ c }{ d } } = \frac{ a }{ b }*\frac{ d }{ c }\]
OpenStudy (deadshot):
Okay, Thanks!
