simplify completely 2x^(2)+13x+20 over x^(2)-5x-36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2x+5)(x+4) over (x-9)(x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thus (2x+5)/(x-9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[{2x^{2}+13x+20} \over{x^{2}-5x-36}\] Then factor the numerator and denominator (if possible)\[{(2x+5)(x+4)}\over{(x-9)(x+4)}\]Then eliminate common terms\[{2x+5}\over{x-9}\]

yup
