what is the simplified form of 12z^2+7z-12/3z-2z-8
\[\large \large \frac{ 12z^2+7z-12 }{ 3z-2z-8 }\] What does 12z^2 divided by 3z give you? What does 7z - 2z give you? What does -12 divided by -8 give you?
What does 7z divided by -2z give you*
4z? and 5z 8 cant go into 12 thered be a remainder and the same with 7z and -2z
12z^2 divided by 3z does give you 4z. For the second one, I meant what does 7z divided by -2z give you?
3z with a remainder of 1?
Let do it step-by-step. What does z divided by z give us?
Use your calculator :p
1?
Hmm. Sure, it cancel out. What does 7 divided by -2 give us?
Actually, leave it as a fraction form for now.
It gives you 3.5
Hmm. I feel like redoing it. I mest up, a little. :| I forgot that to simplify it, you must factor it. Don't worry, factor is easy, I suppose.
You know how to factor 12z^2+7z-12?
i know the ansurr
So do I. :3
no
careful @GoldPhenoix ....
Man just divide 12z^2 with 3z it gives you 4z then divide 7z -2z with your calculator it gives you -3.5 then -12 and -8 =4 so 4z-3.5-8 :o
hmmm not exactly....
lol hush
I thought you would the numerator.
factor the numerator*
honestly, i think there's a typographical error with the question
Skip that for now, let's do the denominator. What can we simplify for 3z-2z-8?
i think the question is too mainstream NOT.
that was the typo i was referring to...it's more llogical for it to be 3z^2
I repeat, What can we simplify for 3z-2z-8?
u go gold!
