which of the following is the simplified form of y^2-y-6/y^2-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

following what? there's another part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factorize first

OpenStudy (rayford):

what do you mean? that's the whole question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright then

OpenStudy (rayford):

here are the answer choices..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

canu factorize? y^2-y-6

OpenStudy (rayford):

y-2/y-3 with the restriction y ≠ ±2 y+2/y+3 with the restriction y ≠ ±2 y-2/y-3 with the restriction y ≠ 2 y+2/y+3 with the restriction y ≠ –2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u get (y-3)(y-2)/(y-2)(y+2) (y-2)'s cancel out and u're left with y-3/y+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with the restriction of course

OpenStudy (rayford):

well, what is the restriction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+2 must not be equal to 0 so y+2=/ 0 y=/ -2

OpenStudy (rayford):

wait..you said y-3/y+2. that's not one of the answer choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh oh,lemme review this again

OpenStudy (rayford):

thanks for ur help man..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh typing mistake sorry, it's (y-3)(y+2)/ (y-2)(y+2) (y+2)'s cancel out,and u're left with (y-3)/(y-2) with the restriction of y=/ +2 and u're welcome,i'm a girl btw not a man

OpenStudy (rayford):

oh 0_0..well please forgive me miss. thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's ok u're welcome

OpenStudy (rayford):
