Simplify the complex fraction (n - 3)/(n^2 + 6n + 8)/(n + 1)/(n + 2)

OpenStudy (jbo11):

first factor the n^2 + 6n + 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i factor i get (n+4) (n+2)

OpenStudy (jbo11):

good now if i think what you typed is what i think it is, like you would for any fraction, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my final result gives me (n - 3)(n+2) / (n+4)(n+1)
