\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The denominator is a perfect square trinomial, factor it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Once you have factored both numerator and denominator, eliminate identical factors in both numerator and denominator. Remember to set the eliminated factor equal to zero and solve for

so that you know what value(s) to exclude from the domain of your resulting expression.\r
