Identify Common Factors: To simplify the function f(x)=2x+53x−6, we first look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator that can be canceled out.
Factorize Numerator: We notice that the numerator 3x−6 can be factored out as 3(x−2) because 6 is divisible by 3.
Check Denominator: The denominator 2x+5 does not have any common factors with the numerator 3(x−2), so we cannot simplify the function by canceling out any terms.
Final Simplified Form: Therefore, the simplified form of the function f(x) is f(x)=2x+53(x−2), which is already in its simplest form.
