Write in simplest form:
9-b^2
---------
b^2-b-6
NUMERATOR: 9-b^2=(3+b)(3-b)=-(b-3)(b+3)
DENOMINATOR: b^2-b-6=(b-3)(b+2)
Now we put 'em back together
9-b^2
--------- =
b^2-b-6
-(b-3)(b+3)
----------- =
(b-3)(b+2)
-(b+3)
------=
(b+2)
-b-3
----
b+2
LOOKS LIKE D IS THE CORRECT ANSWER
Hope this helps-----ptaylor
