What is the quotient in simplified form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd like to know how to simplify

OpenStudy (aravindg):

factorise all the quadratics

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Jadelynn Did you try ?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

..........................

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on I'll see what I come up with

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Take your time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can x^2 +5+ 4 be simplified?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yes !! think of two numbers whose sum is 5 and product is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 times 2 is 4 and 3 plus 2 is 5. not seeing how it can be.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

well we need same numbers satisfying a+b=5 ab=4

OpenStudy (aravindg):

think you will definitely get it !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see how its possible

OpenStudy (aravindg):

4 and 1 ?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now I just feel stupid for missing the obvious

OpenStudy (aravindg):

lols np ...it takes time to get it fast so when we factor the quadratic we get (x+4)(x+1)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

did you factorise the other quadratics?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea. (x-4)^2; (x+2)(x+3);(x-4)(x+2)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i dont see any (x-4)^2 in your question.try again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad (x-4)(x+4)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:) good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I simplify it from their?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

now cancel out same terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+3)(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice pic btw. Are you a fan of Beyblade?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

lols ya I liked it especially the Kai character

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol I just recently found out what Beyblade was and started watching the series

OpenStudy (aravindg):

great :D you liked it ?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

well i gtg will be back in approx half an hour ...for your question ,cancel the same terms and take LCM .bye :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea so far. k ttyl

OpenStudy (aravindg):

so gt the final answer?
