  • Graphical form: \"%28x%2B8%29%2F%28x%5E2-64%29\" simplifies to \"1%2F%28x-8%29\"
  • Text form: (x+8)/(x^2-64) simplifies to 1/(x-8)
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+%28x%2B8%29%2F%28x%5E2-64%29+%29\"
    For tutors: simplify_cartoon( (x+8)/(x^2-64) )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28x%2B8%29+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+%28x%5E2-64%29+%29\".
Canceled out common factors (x-(-8))
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2F%28x-8%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+1+%29%2F%28x-8%29\".
Result: \"1%2F%28x-8%29\"
