First one Do u know how to factorize???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[{{y^2-3y+2}\over{y^2+5y+6}} = {{y^2-2y-y+2}\over{y^2+3y+2y+6}} ={{(y-2)(y-1)}\over{(y+3)(y+2)}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you factored the 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[{{y^2+2y-8}\over{y^2+y-12}} = {{y^2+4y-2y-8}\over{y^2+4y-3y-12}} ={{(y-2)(y+4)}\over{(y+4)(y-3)}} = {{y-2}\over{y-3}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the way to factorize

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok
