help please i dont understand
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so f/g (x) what mean ? f(x) divide by g(x)
yes ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont understand?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so f(x) = 25-x^2
then you know formula a^2 -b^2 =(a-b)(a+b) so you can using it here because you can rewriting f(x) = (5-x)(x+5)
ok ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
and now than you rewrite f/g(x) how will be ?so using this factored form of f(x)

5x+25-x^2-5x??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah i still dont get what the answer is ??
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so will be
(5-x)(5+x)
---------- = ?
x+5
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
now this is easy just simplifie what you can
ok ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+5??
is that the answer

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
why x+5 ? when there is down and up too ?
this will be simplified so then what will remained there ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i give up
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
(5-x)(5+x)
---------- than simplifie 5+x by 5+x what will get ?
5+x
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
5+x from numerator will be simplified by 5+x from denominator so than will get 5-x
yes ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
hope you understand it now
good luck
bye
