How do you simplify $$\frac{x^2-4x-12}{x+2}$$ ?

Factor the numerator: $$x^2-4x-12 = (x-6)(x+2)$$ . Then, cancel the common factor $$x+2$$ , resulting in $$x-6$$ .

What is the result of $$\frac{n+3}{8n^2+24n} \div \frac{n-1}{5n}$$ ?

Multiply by the reciprocal: $$\frac{n+3}{8n^2+24n} \times \frac{5n}{n-1} = \frac{5(n+3)}{8n(n+3)} = \frac{5}{8(n-1)}$$ after canceling $$n+3$$ .

How do you find the product of two rational expressions?

To find the product, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, $$\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}$$ .

What is the simplified product of $$\frac{x^2-11x+30}{x+1}$$ and $$\frac{x+1}{7x-42}$$ ?

Factor the first expression: $$x^2-11x+30 = (x-5)(x-6)$$ and the second: $$7x-42 = 7(x-6)$$ . The product simplifies to $$\frac{x-5}{7}$$ after canceling $$x+1$$ .

Define 'rational expression'.

A rational expression is a fraction where the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials. For example, $$\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}$$ where both $$p(x)$$ and $$q(x)$$ are polynomials.

What is the importance of identifying restrictions in rational expressions?

Identifying restrictions is important to avoid division by zero, which is undefined. For example, in $$\frac{1}{x-3}$$ , $$x \neq 3$$ .

How do you find the difference of $$\frac{9}{x-6}$$ and $$\frac{3}{x}$$ ?

Find a common denominator, which is $$x(x-6)$$ . Rewrite as $$\frac{9x - 3(x-6)}{x(x-6)} = \frac{6x + 18}{x(x-6)}$$ .

What is the result of adding $$\frac{6}{k-4}$$ and $$\frac{k+8}{k^2+2k-24}$$ ?

First, factor the second denominator: $$k^2+2k-24 = (k-4)(k+6)$$ . The sum is $$\frac{7k+44}{(k-4)(k+6)}$$ .

What is the simplified form of $$\frac{x^2-10x+31}{8x-41}$$ ?

This expression cannot be simplified further without specific values for $$x$$ .
