Question

FAN AND MEDAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is the simplified form of:

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x^2+6x+8 }{ 4-x^2}\]

Answer 2

we can factor both portions to become
\[\frac{ (x+4)(x+2) }{ (x-4)(x+4) }\]
so since (x+4) cancels out you get
\[\frac{ (x+2) }{ (x-4) }\]

Answer 3

Thats what im saying but the I put in this choice and its wrong but I don't know you see the only other option that looks like yours is one with a negative sign .

Answer 4

oh right you can factor -1 out of the bottom to get -1(x^2-4) i forgot so
the simplification could be
(x+2)/-(x-4) or (x+2)/(4-x)

Answer 5

Well, the sign is wrong. How did it get to be x-4 instead of 4-x?

Answer 6

stay here for a second i want to show you what the answers look like
