Question

Simplify: (14x^2-123x+34)/(2x^2-13x-34) and list restrictions

Answer 1

=(2x-17)(7x-2)/(x+2)(2x-17)=(7x-2)/(x+2)

Answer 2

restrictions comes from the statement that you can not divide by 0, which means the denominator can not be =0
so, if you solve:
(x+2)(2x-17)=0
it will gives you points of restrictions = > x can NOT be equal
to -2 and 17/2
