Question

what is the simplified form of 4z^2-16z+15/2z^2-11z+15

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{4z^2-16z+15}{2z^2-11z+15}\)

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Have you learnt factorization yet?

Answer 4

i was thinking it was 2z+3/z+3 @AnImEfReaK

Answer 5

Do you think you could draw it for me? How you factorized it?

Answer 6

it wont let me draw. i think my computers to slow @AnImEfReaK

Answer 7

Your answer is nearly correct, your signs are just wrong. Try it again on paper if you have.

Answer 8

Remember a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive.

Answer 9

(2z+5)(2z+3) /(2z+5)(z+3) this is what you got...when you factor it doesn't work

4z^2+ 16z + 15 you should have -16z

Answer 10

To get that +15s you need two negatives, as @DSS said.

Answer 11

Same with the denominator...you have 2z^2 + 11z + 15 it's -11z

Answer 12

so it would really be 2z-3/z-3? @DSS

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

Great
