(x2-7x+12)/(x2-2x-3)factor the numerator & denominator:(x-4)(x-3)/(x-3)(x-1)now reduce:(x-4)(x-3)/(x+1)(x-3)(x-4)/(x+1)
Well, darling, the greatest common factor (GCF) of 14xy and 7x squared is 7x. Why? Because it's the largest number that can divide both terms without leaving a remainder. So, there you have it, 7x is the GCF, case closed.
(x2 + 7x - 18) = (x + 9)(x - 2)
(7x + 8)(7x - 9)
(x + 1)(x - 8)
x(x - 7)
It is: (2x+3)(3x-8) when factored
49x2 - 84x + 36 = (7x - 6)(7x - 6) or (7x - 6)2
(x - 5)(x + 12)
(x-6)(x-1)
(x - 2)(2x - 3)
14x squared minus 7x to the 3rd power can be factored to 7x2(2-x).
7x + 8
I suppose that would be 14x2 - 7x3. Just take out the common factor, 7x2. Divide each term by this factor to find the other factor.
