Answer 2

ANSWER

$\frac{ - 12}{1 + 8x}$

EXPLANATION

The given rational expression is

$\frac{ - 12 {x}^{4} }{ {x}^{4} + 8 {x}^{5} }$

We factor to get;

$\frac{ - 12 {x}^{4} }{ {x}^{4} (1+ 8 {x}) }$

We can see that:

${x}^{4}$

is common to both the numerator and the denominator.

We cancel out the common factors to obtain;

$\frac{ - 12 }{ 1+ 8 {x}}$

Therefore the simplified form is

$\frac{ - 12}{1 + 8x}$
