anonymous · Answer

Just like before, find common denominators, subtract, simplify

anonymous · Answer

okay ill try

anonymous · Answer

a^2 + 5a +1
-------------     is that the correct answer?BBHale?
(a+2)(a+1)(2a-1)

anonymous · Answer

what did you cancel out between the numerator and the denominator?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know, what would be the possible answer?

anonymous · Answer

idk
what i got is

a^3 + a^2 + 2a + 8                                 a^3 + a^2 + 2a +8
----------------------     or               -------------------
2a^4 + 9a^3 + 11a^2 - a                      (a+2)^2 * (a+1) * (2a-1)

which made it look like you canceled a (a+2) out, but the numerator doesn't divide by (a+2
