Question

Determine if the following equation simplifies to f(x) = 1. If so, explain the relationship between the fractions that yields this result f(x) = 8x+12 5229 52²9 8x+12 (1 point) Yes, the expression simplifies to 1 because there is a quadratic in the denominator of one fraction and the numerator of the other. Yes, the expression simplifies to one because the two fractions are reciprocals of one another. Any reciprocals multiplied together yield a result of 1 Yes, the expression simplifies to 1 because the fractions are identical. No the equation does not simplify to equal 1.

Answer 1

`f(x)\text{ = }\frac{8x\text{ + 12}}{5x^2\text{ - 9}}\text{ x }\frac{5x^2\text{- 9}}{8\text{x + 12}}`
