Reducing to lowest term
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28T%5E2+%2B+6T+%2B+8%29%2F%282T%5E2+-+8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28t%2B4%29%28t%2B2%29%29%2F2%28t%5E2+-+4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Note that t^2 - 4, can be factored as the difference of squares:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28t%2B4%29%28t%2B2%29%29%2F%282%28t-2%29%28t%2B2%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cancel (t+2)'s
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28t%2B4%29%29%2F2%28t-2%29\"$ is in lowest terms \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
