\[\frac{ x ^{2} }{ x ^{2}+11 }*\frac{ x+8 }{ x}\]
OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):
Cross out the pair of x^2 and x so it becomes \(\frac{x(x+8)}{x^2+11}\). (alternatively turn x(x+8) into x^2 + 8.
OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):
Uh, I mean x^2 + 8x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok got that now what do I do
OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):
That would be the final answer, given that you're only given an expression.

what about the 11 at the bottom that soes not make sunce to me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
HELP
OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):
The x^2 + 11 at the bottom was never modified (because you can't factor it without bringing out complex numbers)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you are saying the factor form is x^2+8x?

One of the answers would be x^2 + 8x, but it isn't the factored form (IMO the factor form is meaningless in this question)
The factor form of x^2 + 8x would be x(x+8).
OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):
As for the most simplified form of the expression given, it's \(\frac{x^2+8x}{x^2+11}\)
