Question

simplify completely 4x^2- 32x + 48 / 3x^2 - 17x - 6

Answer 1

Remember to use perenthesis

you mean

(4x^2- 32x + 48) / (3x^2 - 17x - 6)

Answer 2

factor top

(4*(x-2))*(x-6)

then bottom

(3*x+1)*(x-6)

Answer 3

you'll see what cancels

Answer 4

x-6 will cancel out on the bottom and the top right?

Answer 5

what it really means is "factor and cancel"
let me write it so i can read it
\[\frac{4x^2- 32x + 48 }{ 3x^2 - 17x - 6}\]

Answer 6

factors as
\[\frac{4(x-2)(x-6)}{(3x+1)(x-6)}\] i guess

Answer 7

oh yeah, you had this already
then cancel and you are done

Answer 8

Thanks !

Answer 9

yw, you did all the work
