%288y%5E4%2B12y%5E2-176%29%2F%282y-4%29 Start with the given expression.


%284%28y-2%29%28y%2B2%29%282y%5E2%2B11%29%29%2F%282y-4%29 Factor the numerator


%284%28y-2%29%28y%2B2%29%282y%5E2%2B11%29%29%2F%282%28y-2%29%29 Factor the denominator


%282%2A2%28y-2%29%28y%2B2%29%282y%5E2%2B11%29%29%2F%282%28y-2%29%29 Factor 4 to get 2*2


Cancel out the common terms.


2%28y%2B2%29%282y%5E2%2B11%29 Simplify


4y%5E3%2B22y%2B8y%5E2%2B44 Expand and multiply


So %288y%5E4%2B12y%5E2-176%29%2F%282y-4%29=4y%5E3%2B22y%2B8y%5E2%2B44 where y%3C%3E2
