Which of the following is the simplified form of the quantity y squared plus y minus 6 over the quantity y squared minus 4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y^2+y-6)/(y^2-4) that is how you set it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y+3)/(y+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just factor :) the top then the bottom and look for things that cancel out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y+3)*(y-2) ----------- (y-2)*(y+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the restriction be y ≠ ±2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omg -___-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y+3)/(y+2) is your answer it is fully simplified so y cant be -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close tho :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha sorta... So it's (y+3)/(y+2), with the restriction y ≠ –2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct :)
