\[\frac{ -x^2+3x+10 }{ x^2+6x-7 }\]
so do u know how to factor

Answer 2

yes I do.

Answer 3

so what does the top factor out into

Answer 4

would you have to factor out a -1 first so that the numerator has a positive a value?

Answer 5

yes i would do that first :)

Answer 6

I got \[\frac{ -1(x-5)(x+2) }{ (x+1)(x-7) }\]

Answer 7

oh oops that's wrong.

Answer 8

should have +7 and - 1

Answer 9

but other than that - you got it

Answer 10

yeah that's what I thought haha.. but would that be the final answer? In the answer sheet it says the right answer would be \[\frac{ x+2 }{ x+1 }\]

Answer 11
