Question

An expression equivalent to (144n^4 + 6n³ - 60n) / 12n² is 12n² + 0.5n - 5.

Answer 1

Answer: 12n² + 0.5n - 5

Explanation:

The expression (144n^4 + 6n³ - 60n) / 12n² simplifies to:

(144n^4 + 6n³ - 60n) / 12n² = (12n² * 12n² + 12n² * 0.5n - 12n² * 5) / 12n²

Now, you can simplify further by canceling out the common factor of 12n² in the numerator:

= (12n² * (12n² + 0.5n - 5)) / (12n²)

Now, the 12n² terms in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving you with:

= 12n² + 0.5n - 5
