\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%5E2%2B11x%2B12%29%2F%28x%5E2-7x%2B10%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2%2Bx-12%29%2F%28x%5E2-8x%2B15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Invert the dividing fraction and multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%5E2%2B11x%2B12%29%2F%28x%5E2-7x%2B10%29\"$ * $\"%28x%5E2-8x%2B15%29%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx-12%29\"$
