^\s*x\s*F > 0 ? "\\+" : "[-\u2212]"\s*abs(F)\s*$

-E/A

First use factoring by grouping to factor the expression in the numerator.

This expression is in the form \blue{A}x^2 + \green{B}x + \pink{C}.

$("#question-a").addClass("hint_blue"); $("#question-b").addClass("hint_green"); $("#question-c").addClass("hint_pink");

First, find two values, a and b, so:


                    \qquad \begin{eqnarray}
                        \purple{ab} &=& \blue{A}\pink{C} \\
                        \purple{a} + \purple{b} &=& \green{B}
                    \end{eqnarray}

In this case:


                    \qquad \begin{eqnarray}
                        \purple{ab} &=&
                            \blue{(A)}\pink{(C)} &=& A * C \\
                        \purple{a} + \purple{b} &=& &=&
                            \green{B}
                    \end{eqnarray}

In order to find \purple{a} and \purple{b}, list out the factors of A * C and add them together. Remember, since A * C is negative, one of the factors must be negative. The factors that add up to \green{B} will be your \purple{a} and \purple{b}.

When \purple{a} is \purple{E} and \purple{b} is \purple{A * F}:


                    \qquad \begin{eqnarray}
                        \purple{ab} &=& (\purple{E})(\purple{A * F})
                            &=& E * A * F \\
                        \purple{a} + \purple{b} &=& \purple{E} + \purple{A * F}
                            &=& E + A * F
                    \end{eqnarray}

Next, rewrite the expression as (\blue{A}x^2 + \purple{a}x) + (\purple{b}x + \pink{C}):


                    \qquad (\blue{A}x^2 +\purple{E}x)
                    + (\purple{A * F}x +\pink{C})

Factor out the common factors:

\qquad x(Ax + E) + F(Ax + E)

Now factor out (Ax + E):

\qquad (Ax + E)(x + F)

The original expression can therefore be written:

\qquad \dfrac{(Ax + E)(x + F)}{DENOMINATOR}

We are dividing by DENOMINATOR, so DENOMINATOR \neq 0

Therefore, x \neq CONDITION.

This leaves us with SOLUTION; x \neq CONDITION.
