Simplify completely quantity 3 x squared plus 21 x minus 54 all over x squared plus 3 x minus 54. 3 open parentheses x minus 2 close parentheses over quantity x minus 6 7 x over x minus 1 1 10
@Hamoody1996
do you want to simplify ?
@jenniferjuice does it look like that \[\frac{ 3x2+21x−54}{x2+3x−54 }\]
i dont know because the denominator dont factor ! @mathmale
I'm still experimenting. If you want, you could divide using long division. You could also apply the quadratic formula to the denominator.
but there will be fractions, and the choices dont have fractions
@jenniferjuice
We've got to brainstorm. Try what you think is the best approach. If it doesn't work, choose another approach. I've tried the quadratic formula on the denominator and get "good" results. Try it.
Experience is one of the best teachers.
i see the simplest form is by factorizing the upper numerator only
wjhat do i do ?
Try applying the quadratic formula to the denominator, please. I've just double checked it and have come up with two integer roots.
