Algebra.Com's Answer #16294 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! by saying \"for all x not equal to -4\" they are just saying that division by \n" ); document.write( "zero is not allowed (-4 + 4 in the denominator) \n" ); document.write( " x^2 + 12x +32 /(x + 4) \n" ); document.write( "factoring numerator \n" ); document.write( "(x + 8)(x + 4) / (x + 4) \n" ); document.write( "cancel (x + 4) / (x + 4) \n" ); document.write( "x + 8 answer \n" ); document.write( " |
