For solving this do you know the conception of : Rational Function

anonymous · Answer

for the first one you need to figure out what multiplies to be -6 and adds to be -1. the numbers that do that are -3 and 2 so your answer would be:
(x + 2)(x - 3)

anonymous · Answer

for the second one you do the same thing but what multiplies to be 16 and adds to be 8?

it would be 4
so your answer is (x + 4)(x + 4)

my math teacher has been away due to the birth of her baby, so she has left us with a bunch of problems and it just says to solve. i do not know a lot about rational functions yet.
