Let's solve each problem one by one:
Problem 4: Simplify \(\frac{x + 10}{x^2 + 6x + 5} \cdot \frac{5x + 25}{5x + 50}\)
Step 1: Factor the denominators and numerators
- Factor \(x^2 + 6x + 5\): \(x^2 + 6x + 5=(x + 1)(x + 5)\)
- Factor \(5x + 25\): \(5x + 25 = 5(x + 5)\)
- Factor \(5x + 50\): \(5x + 50=5(x + 10)\)
So the expression becomes:
\(\frac{x + 10}{(x + 1)(x + 5)}\cdot\frac{5(x + 5)}{5(x + 10)}\)
Step 2: Cancel out common factors
- Cancel out \((x + 10)\) from numerator and denominator.
- Cancel out \(5\) from numerator and denominator.
- Cancel out \((x + 5)\) from numerator and denominator.
We are left with \(\frac{1}{x + 1}\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, let's check again. Wait, the original problem is multiplication. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's re - do:
\(\frac{x + 10}{(x + 1)(x + 5)}\times\frac{5(x + 5)}{5(x + 10)}\)
After canceling \((x + 10)\), \(5\) and \((x + 5)\), we get \(\frac{1}{x + 1}\)? No, that's not matching the given options. Wait, maybe the problem is about restrictions? Wait, the denominator \(x^2+6x + 5=(x + 1)(x + 5)
eq0\) so \(x
eq - 1,-5\), and \(5x + 50 = 5(x + 10)
eq0\) so \(x
eq - 10\), \(5x+25=5(x + 5)
eq0\) so \(x
eq - 5\). Wait, maybe the answer is about domain restrictions. Wait, the Pink option is \(x
eq - 6,-1\), no. Wait, maybe I misread the problem. Let's move to problem 5.
Problem 5: Simplify \(\frac{x^2 - 4x + 3}{2x - 6}\cdot\frac{2x + 6}{4x - 4}\)
Step 1: Factor the expressions
- Factor \(x^2-4x + 3=(x - 1)(x - 3)\)
- Factor \(2x - 6 = 2(x - 3)\)
- Factor \(2x+6 = 2(x + 3)\)
- Factor \(4x - 4=4(x - 1)\)
The expression becomes: \(\frac{(x - 1)(x - 3)}{2(x - 3)}\cdot\frac{2(x + 3)}{4(x - 1)}\)
Step 2: Cancel out common factors
- Cancel out \((x - 1)\)
- Cancel out \(2\)
- Cancel out \((x - 3)\)
We get \(\frac{x + 3}{4}\), which is the Purple option.
Problem 6: Simplify \(\frac{4x + 16}{x^2 + 3x - 40}+\frac{x + 4}{x^2 + 3x - 40}\)
Since the denominators are the same, we add the numerators:
Step 1: Add the numerators
\(\frac{4x + 16+x + 4}{x^2 + 3x - 40}=\frac{5x + 20}{x^2 + 3x - 40}\)
Step 2: Factor the numerator and denominator
- Factor numerator: \(5x + 20=5(x + 4)\)
- Factor denominator: \(x^2+3x - 40=(x + 8)(x - 5)\)
Wait, no, wait \(x^2+3x - 40\): we need two numbers that multiply to \(- 40\) and add to \(3\). The numbers are \(8\) and \(-5\). So \(x^2+3x - 40=(x + 8)(x - 5)\). Wait, but the Light Blue option is \(\frac{x - 8}{x - 5}\), no. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, \(\frac{4x + 16+x + 4}{x^2 + 3x - 40}=\frac{5x + 20}{x^2 + 3x - 40}=\frac{5(x + 4)}{(x + 8)(x - 5)}\). No, that's not matching. Wait, maybe the denominator is \(x^2-3x - 40\)? If \(x^2-3x - 40=(x - 8)(x + 5)\), then \(\frac{5(x + 4)}{(x - 8)(x + 5)}\), no. Wait, the Light Blue option is \(\frac{x - 8}{x - 5}\). Maybe I misread the numerator. Wait, the first numerator is \(4x + 16\), second is \(x + 4\), so sum is \(5x + 20\). Wait, maybe the problem is \(\frac{4x - 16}{x^2 - 3x - 40}+\frac{x - 4}{x^2 - 3x - 40}\). Let's try that. If numerators are \(4x-16\) and \(x - 4\), sum is \(5x-20 = 5(x - 4)\), denominator \(x^2-3x - 40=(x - 8)(x + 5)\). No. Wait, maybe the answer is about simplification. Wait, let's move to problem 7.
Problem 7: Simplify \(\frac{8x - 16}{6x + 48}\div\frac{x^2 - 6x + 8}{6}\)
Step 1: Rewrite division as multiplication by reciprocal
\(\frac{8x - 16}{6x + 48}\times\frac{6}{x^2 - 6x + 8}\)
Step 2: Factor the expressions
- Factor \(8x - 16=8(x - 2)\)
- Factor \(6x + 48=6(x + 8)\)
- Factor \(x^2-6x + 8=(x - 2)(x - 4)\)
