Are you sure you have stated the question correctly?

It would make more sense if it said "when x is NOT -2 or -1"

anonymous · Answer

Yes it's right. I copied and pasted it. @navk how'd you get that? Is that the answer

anonymous · Answer

No. Try factoring the numerator x^2 - 4 by using the formula a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
