Asked by pete12

Answer (3)

x 2 − 25 x 2 + 6 x + 5 ​ = ( ∗ ) ; x 2 − 25  = 0 → x 2  = 25 → x  = − 5 ∧ x  = 5 x 2 + 6 x + 5 = 0 Δ = 6 2 − 4 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 5 = 36 − 20 = 16 ; Δ ​ = 16 ​ = 4 x 1 ​ = 2 ⋅ 1 − 6 − 4 ​ = 2 − 10 ​ = − 5 ; x 2 ​ = 2 ⋅ 1 − 6 + 4 ​ = 2 − 2 ​ = − 1 x 2 + 6 x + 5 = ( x + 5 ) ( x + 1 )
( ∗ ) = ( x − 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x + 1 ) ​ = x − 5 x + 1 ​

To simplify x 2 − 25 x 2 + 6 x + 5 ​ , we can factor both the numerator and the denominator, resulting in ( x − 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x + 1 ) ( x + 5 ) ​ . After canceling the common factor ( x + 5 ) , the simplified expression is x − 5 x + 1 ​ , with the restriction that x  = − 5 and x  = 5 .
