What is the product in simplest form? State any restrictions on the variable. y^2/y-3 * y^2-y-6/y^2+1y

y^2+2y/ y+1 <<thats the answer right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your equation is: y^2/y−3×y^2−y−6/y^2+y Now multiply them: you should get the following: y^4−y^3−6y^2/y^3+y^2−3y^2−3y Let us factorize the numerator: y(y^3−y^2−6y)/y^3+y^2−3y^2−3y Simplifying it we should get: 2y/−3y^2 Thats what i got :/

My answer is right i used mathway but idk what the restricted number are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your restrictions are numbers that make either of the two beginning fractions = 0. For the first fraction, I set y - 3 = 0 and see that when y is 3, I am undefined. If I take y^2 + y, I can factor it and set each of its factors equal to 0. so y^2 + y becomes y(y+1). Setting those 2 factors to 0, I have y = 0 and y+1 = 0. Meaning solving for y in those two gives me 0 and -1. So in total, I cannot have y equal to 0, -1, or 3.
