Answer:
the opposite of what is in the parentheses so -(-6) would just be 6
For this case we have the following expression:
(x ^ 2 + 2x + 1 / x ^ 2-8x + 16) / (x + 1 / x ^ 2-16)
Rewriting we have:
(((x + 1) (x + 1)) / ((x-4) (x-4))) / (x + 1 / ((x + 4) (x-4)))
Then, we cancel similar terms:
((x + 1) / (x-4)) / (1 / (x + 4))
Rewriting:
((x + 1) (x + 4)) / (x-4)
Answer:
((x + 1) (x + 4)) / (x-4)
The area of the red piece of paper is A= 4(2*4)= 4*8= 32 in^2.
The area of the blue piece of paper is A= 3*7=21 in^2. You subtract 21 from 32 and the difference is 11. So 11in^2 is visible.
