\n" ); document.write( "x2+x+2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x^4-5x^2+4)/(x^2+x+2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B4%29%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x%5E2-4%29%28x%5E2-1%29%29%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The numerator is still factorizable, but not the denominator. The original rational expression seems to not be simplifiable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, if you try polynomial division for the given rational expression, the result will be $\"x%5E2-x-5%2B%287x%2B14%29%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B2%29\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
