Question

Simplify completely quantity x squared minus 10 x minus 24 all over x squared minus 3 x minus 108 and find the restrictions on the variable.

Answer 1

well your problem is

\[\frac{x^2 -10 -24}{x^2 -3x - 108}\]

start by factoring the numerator and denominator.

what do you get

Answer 2

the restrictions occur for values of x that make the denominator zero.

so when you have factored the denominator look at what values make each factor equal to zero.

these will be the restictions

Answer 3

So what are the restrictions?
