First combine like terms to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-15%2Fx%5E2-6x%2B15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "next add fractions using a common denominator of x^2 to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E4-6x%5E3%2B15x%5E2+-15%29%2Fx%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we could group some of the numerator as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x%5E4-6x%5E3%29%2B%2815x%5E2+-15%29%29%2Fx%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "factoring each group gives us
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E3%28x-6%29+%2B15%28x%2B1%29%28x-1%29%29%2Fx%5E2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
