Answer 1

if you factor these one might cancel

Answer 2

I dont get it @zpupster

Answer 3

2x^2-x-6/x^2-4

here we see the denominator is the difference of 2 squares
x^2-4= (x-2)(x+2)

2x^2-x-6 what does this factor into?

Answer 6

(2x 3) (x 2) we need to find the signs

Answer 7

but dont we have to pair them up @zpupster

Answer 8

(2x -3) (x +2) = 2x^2 + x -6 that is not right so switch the signs
(2x +3) (x -2) = 2x^2 - x -6 that is right

Answer 9

(2x +3) (x -2)/(x+2)(x-2) what cancels???
