Answer:

\dfrac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have asked for the simpilfied form of ...

x-\dfrac{2}{x^2}+x-\dfrac{6}{x^2}+5x+\dfrac{4}{x}+4

That would be ...

\dfrac{7x^3+4x^2+4x-4}{x^2}

We suspect that's not what you meant. Parentheses are required for grouping when you write math expressions in text form. They work best using math symbols instead of words. We think you mean

... ((x -2)/(x^2 +x -6))/((x^2 +5x +4)/(x +4))

_____

Maybe you want to simplify ...

\displaystyle\frac{\left(\frac{x-2}{x^2+x-6}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^2+5x+4}{x+4}\right)}=\frac{(x-2)(x+4)}{(x-2)(x+3)(x+4)(x+1)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+3)}=\frac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

_____

<em>Comment on simplifying rational expressions</em>

Division of fractions works the same whether you're working with numbers or polynomials (or anything else). Dividing by something is the same as multiplying by its inverse (reciprocal).

(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c)

I learned this as "invert and multiply". I've recently seen it referred to as "copy dot flip", meaning you copy the numerator, use a dot symbol to indicate multipication, then flip the denominator (make its reciprocal) to become what you're multiplying by.

Which technique is most appropriate to use to solve each equation? Drag the name of the technique into the box to match each equ
NemiM [27]
For the first equation, the answer is C) completing the square.
For the second equation, the answer is B) zero product property.

For the first equation, we can easily complete the square by finding half of b and squaring it; then we can take the square root of both sides and solve the equation.

For the second equation, since it is already factored, we use the zero product property to solve it.
