The Deep Dive
To find the quotient in factored form, first simplify both the top and bottom fractions before performing the division. Start with \( \frac{16x^2 - 8x + 1}{x^3 - 7x^2 + 12x} \) and factor where possible. The numerator can be factored as \( (4x - 1)^2 \), while the denominator factors into \( x(x - 3)(x - 4) \). For the second fraction, \( \frac{20x^2 - 5x}{15x^3} \) can be factored to \( \frac{5x(4x - 1)}{15x^3} \) which simplifies to \( \frac{(4x - 1)}{3x^2} \) after canceling common terms. Now, perform the division: multiplying by the reciprocal yields \( \frac{(4x - 1)^2 \cdot 3x^2}{x \cdot (4x - 1)} \), simplifying finally to \( \frac{3(4x - 1) x}{(x - 3)(x - 4)} \). The complete answer, in factored form, should be written as \( \frac{3(4x - 1)x}{(x - 3)(x - 4)}, x \neq 0, x \neq 3, x \neq 4 \). In this case, make sure to simplify step-by-step and check for like terms to avoid errors. Pay particular attention to signs when factoring, as a small oversight can lead to incorrect factorizations!
