=(s-3)/(s^2-6s+9)

Answer 2

s^2-6s+9=(s-3 )(s-3)

Answer 3

1/(s-3)

Answer 4

Since the two fractions have the same denominator, all you need to do is subtract the numerators and set that over the common denominator. That takes care of the subtraction.
The next step is to express it in simplest form. To do that, you need to factor the denominator and see if you can reduce the fraction.

Answer 6

Same idea here.
You are subtracting two fractions that have the same denominator.
Subtract the numerators and set the difference over the common denominator.
Then factor the numerator and denominator and reduce.
