Question 617674: The question is to simplify the following:
(+x%5E2-4x%2B4+ / +x%5E2-4+) / (+2x%5E2-5x%2B3+ / +2x-4+) * (+3x%2B9+ / +2x%5E2%2B7x%2B3+)
I got as far as:
(+%28x-2%29%28x-2%29+ / +%28x-2%29%28x%2B2%29+) / (+6x%5E3%2B3x%5E2-36x%2B27+ / +4x%5E3%2B6x%5E2-22x-12+) which I got by multiplying the 2nd and 3rd part of the equation and adding all like terms. Now I’m stuck.
Please help!
