Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

\[\frac{ x^2 -64 }{ x^2 - 16x + 64 }\]

Answer 3

And how did you get that?.-.

Answer 5

@Mertsj

Answer 6

Can you factor?

Answer 7

Put both into factors?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

(x - 8)(x+ 8)
-----------
(x - 8)(x - 8)
?

Answer 10

Now cancel the common factor x-8. What remains is your answer.

Answer 11

Wait I have it backwards its \[\frac{ x+8 }{ x-8 }\]
\[\frac{ x ^{2} - 64}{ x ^{2}-16x + 64} = \frac{ (x - 8) (x + 8) }{ (x - 8) (x - 8) }\]

Answer 12

(x + 8)
------ correct?
(x - 8)

Answer 13

Yes, mikeyy, you are correct.
