2x-5

\[\Large \frac{4x^2-25}{2x+5} \to \frac{(2x-5)(2x+5)}{2x+5}\to \frac{(2x-5)\cancel{(2x+5)}}{\cancel{2x+5}}\]

would the restriction be -5/2 or 5/2?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

For restriction, set denominator equal to zero. 2x+5 = 0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5/2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yep.
