Question

ash2326 · Answer

$$\frac{x^2-4x+4}{x^2-4}$$
@Hpbbby what do you think we should do? Do you have any ideas?

anonymous · Answer

factor?

ash2326 · Answer

Yeah, 
the numerator, it's of the form $a^2-2ab+b^2$ which is the expansion of $(a-b)^2$,  Now use this to rewrite the numerator, will you?

anonymous · Answer

x-2^2

ash2326 · Answer

Good, now the denominator is of the form
$a^2-b^2$ which can be rewritten as $(a+b)(a-b)$, use it to simplify the denominator, would you?

anonymous · Answer

(x-2)(x+2)

anonymous · Answer

x-2/x+2
