\[\frac{ a+1 }{ a ^{2}+8a+7 } * \frac{ a+7 }{ -6 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
actuaclly i dont kno how to do this one
it confuses me on the bottom part
OpenStudy (anonymous):
look we can put (a^2+8a+7) in more simple way to be (a+7)(a+1)
and then we can move on to the next step

wait the top wouldnt be a^2 + 7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
noooo you have to multiply (a+1) * (a+7)

both top and bottom would be removed of a+1 and a + 7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so would it be -1/6
