Simplify this expression:

\[\frac{ x+1 }{ 8x }*\frac{ 4 }{ x^2+2x+3 }\]

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Factor the denominator of the right hand fraction and I think you'll be pleased with the result...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it even factorable?

Oh you meant factor it like this: \[(x+1)^2+2\]

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

no, I misread it as x^2+3x+2...

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

If that's the correct expression in the problem statement, you can't really do any appreciable simplification...knock the 4/8 down to 1/2 and expand the denominator, but like I said...

Ah, okay. I got this: |dw:1371603154703:dw|
