\[\frac{ x ^{2} }{ x ^{2}-4 } - \frac{ x+1 }{ x+2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the question. It asks to simplify

OpenStudy (zubhanwc3):

\[(x ^{2}(x+2)/(x ^{2}-4)(x+1))-((x+1)(x ^{2}-4)/(x ^{2}(x+2)))\]

OpenStudy (zubhanwc3):

\[=(x ^{2}(x+2)-(x+1)(x ^{2}-4))/((x+2)(x ^{2}-4))\]

OpenStudy (zubhanwc3):

thats the simplified form, i dont know how to do it neat like you, but ill try.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you look on the side there are options to add fractions and exponents and such

OpenStudy (zubhanwc3):

\[\frac{ x ^{2}(x+2)-(x+1)(x ^{2}-4) }{ (x ^{2}-4)(x+2) }\]

perfecto
