Remember to invert and multiply, factor and cancel
Ok, I can get the numberator, but I am not sure how to get the denominator, any help with is problem will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
First thing is to factor each of the polynomial expressions:
So the expression becomes:
Now invert and multiply:
Eliminate factors common to both numerator and denominator:
The numerator binomials are a conjugate pair, so the product is the difference of 2 squares, and the product of the denominator can be found by applying FOIL:
