Question

what is the quotient 4x/x^2+5x-6 divided by x^2-11x+28/x^2+7x+6 in simplified form? state any restrictions on the variable.

Answer 1

A/b ÷ d/c

a/b * c/d

4x/ x² + 5x -6 * x² + 7x + 6/ x² - 11x + 28    factor

4x/ (x+6)(x-1) * (x+6)(x+1)/ (x-7)(x-4)      (x+6) cancels out

4x (x+1) / (x-1)(x-7)(x-4)
