True/False

A quality control analyst is verifying the simplification of the ratio R(x)=f(x)g(x)R(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} for the efficiency functions f(x)=3x2x2−4xf(x) = \frac{3x^2}{x^2 - 4x} and g(x)=9x2−45xx2−7x+10g(x) = \frac{9x^2 - 45x}{x^2 - 7x + 10}. True or False: According to the simplification procedure, the binomial factor (x−5)(x - 5) is divided out because it is common to both the numerator and the denominator after the expression is rewritten as a product.
