Solve this Function:
(3x-7)^2 (x^2-9x+18)
----------------------
x (x^2-12x+40) (x^16)
To solve the function, we need to simplify it by performing the indicated operations. Let's break it down step by step.
Step 1: Multiply the two binomials (3x-7)^2 and (x^2-9x+18) together. To do this, we can use the FOIL method.
(3x-7)^2 = (3x-7) * (3x-7)
= 9x^2 - 21x - 21x + 49
= 9x^2 - 42x + 49
(x^2-9x+18) remains the same.
So, our function becomes:
(9x^2 - 42x + 49) * (x^2-9x+18)
---------------------
x (x^2-12x+40) (x^16)
Step 2: Distribute the multiplication further to simplify the expression. Multiply each term in the numerator by each term in the denominator.
Numerator:
(9x^2 - 42x + 49) * (x^2-9x+18)
= 9x^2 * x^2 + 9x^2 * (-9x) + 9x^2 * 18
- 42x * x^2 - 42x * (-9x) - 42x * 18
+ 49 * x^2 + 49 * (-9x) + 49 * 18
= 9x^4 - 81x^3 + 162x^2 - 42x^3 + 378x^2 - 756x
+ 49x^2 - 441x + 882
Denominator:
x (x^2-12x+40) (x^16) = x^19 - 12x^17 + 40x^16
So, our function becomes:
(9x^4 - 81x^3 + 162x^2 - 42x^3 + 378x^2 - 756x
+ 49x^2 - 441x + 882) / (x^19 - 12x^17 + 40x^16)
Step 3: We cannot solve this function since it does not have an equal sign or an equation to solve for a particular value of x. However, we have simplified the function as much as possible.
