You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you want to factor the quadratic to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 5x + 6 is equal to (x + 3) * (x + 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your expression becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "                    (x + 3) \r\n" );
document.write( "             -------------------\r\n" );
document.write( "               (x + 3) * (x + 2)\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the (x + 3) in the numerator and denominator cancel out and you are left with:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "                              1 \r\n" );
document.write( "                      -----------------\r\n" );
document.write( "                           (x + 2)\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
