<u>Answer:</u>

The simplest form of  \frac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8} is t+4.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given an expression \frac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}.

Factorizing the numerator such that the factors when multiplied give a product of -32 and when added give a result of -4:

\frac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}

=\frac{t^2-8t+4t-32}{t-8}

= \frac{t(t-8)+4(t-8)}{t-8}

=\frac{(t+4)(t-8)}{t-8}

= t+4

Since the denominator is t-8 in this expression, therefore t\neq 8 or it will be equal to zero which will make the overall value of the fraction undefined.

1. Factor the expression t^2-4t-32:

t^2-4t-32=(t-8)(t+4).

2. Since t-8 is placed in the denominator of the given expression, then t\neq 8.

3. Now the expression can be simplified:

\dfrac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}=\dfrac{(t-8)(t+4)}{t-8}=t+4.
