answers:

Describe the graph of the function at its roots.

f(x) = (x − 2)3(x + 6)2(x + 12)

At x = 2, the graph crosses the x–axis.

At x = −6, the graph touches the x–axis.

At x = −12, the graph crosses the x–axis.

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
