Answer» let the denominator be x, therefore the numerator will be (x-4)(x-6)fraction =(x−4)(x−6)/x what does (x-4)(x-6) tell you1) It tells us that x<4 and x>6, both terms will be negative and the value will be positive.2) At 4 and 6 it will be 03) AND at x as 5, the value will be NEGATIVEso lowest value will be at x = 5 (x−4)(x−6)/x =(5−4)(5−6)/5 =−1/5 Like my answer if you find it useful! |
