How to Factor the numerator and denominator of each expression completely?
\n" ); document.write( "(x^2+2x)/(x^2-4) and (x^2-5x+4)/(x^2-1)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 2x is obvious
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 4 is a difference of 2 squares
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)*(a+b)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-5x+4 notice that 5 = 4+1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 1 another difference of 2 squares
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
