(x+2)/(x^2 +4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the question complete?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woild it be (x+2) / (x+2) (x+2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But is it equal to something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, \[x^2+4 \ne (x+2)(x+2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure in the denominator there is \(x^2 + 4\) instead of \(x^2-4\) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If your question is right, then we can't solve it further...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to find what it is equal to...

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

it doesn't need to equal anything... it may be an expression that needs to be simplified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is equal exactly to your question... You cannot solve it further... The answer will be: \[\frac{x+2}{x^2+4}\] itself...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that it is right, it says x\[^{2}\]=4, I think that it was supposed to be +4 though...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What ?? x^2 = 4 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what it says....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please write the actual question and write it properly...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can draw it by using "Draw" tool right below where you are writing..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that the equal was supposed to be a plus sign...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it was supposed to be a negative sign.. Because, if that is plus sign, then we can't solve the expression further,, So, that is a negative sign..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where : \[x^2 - 4 = (x+2)(x-2)\] Cancel whatever you can cancel..
