Question

simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable.

p^2-4p-32/p+4

Answer 1

since your denominator is \(p+4\) and you cannot divide by zero, the restriction is \(p\neq -4\)
to answer the first question, factor and cancel

Answer 2

answer
1. –p + 8; p ≠ –4
2. p – 8; p ≠ –4
3. –p – 8; p ≠ –4
4. p + 8; p ≠ –4
