HELP PLEASE! Help me get this into simplified form please.
p/r/o/b/l/e/m
\[\frac{ x-5 }{x ^{2} -3x-10 } \times \frac{ x+2 }{ x ^{2}+-12 }\]
sorry, took me awhile.
1/ correct x^2 + - 12. I don't understand 2/ factor the first denominator what do you have?
i meant \[x ^{2}+x-12 \] for teh denominator
**the
-5 and 2 for the first denominator?
yup, and fact tor the second one
I mean factor denominator of the second term
thats what im having trouble with, I think its -4 and 3 since they mulitply to 12 but they add to 1 not x...
wait isn't x the same as 1?
nope, it simplest form for real roots. we cannot factor it . let it there if we cannot do anything on it. so, just cancel what we can factor. dat sit
so, the answer is just \[\frac{ 1 }{ (x+2) (x-5) }\]? I'm confused
