OpenStudy (ivancsc1996):
\[\frac{ 8x ^{3}-10x^{2}-25x }{ 4x ^{2}+5x }\]First we can cancel an x from each term:\[\frac{ 8x ^{2}-10x-25 }{ 4x+5 }\]
OpenStudy (ivancsc1996):
Then I think you have to evaluate which each solution the inequality to see which one gives you 0=0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
from there you factor 8x^2-10x-25
8x^2-10x-25
8x^2+10x-20x-25
(8x^2+10x)+(-20x-25)
I'll let you finish up the factorization

How did you do that factorization?
OpenStudy (ivancsc1996):
Ohhhh no I just saw it :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be B?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what do you get when you finish up the factorization
OpenStudy (ivancsc1996):
Let me help you, you need to find the common factor of the tarms that jim put in parenthesis to take them out of the equation.

i got (-5+-4x)(5+-2x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its c
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you somehow introduced a negative when there isn't supposed to be one
it should be (4x+5)(2x-5)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yeah it's C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah. thanks
