those are my options @MARC_D

where is the question? @18jonea
the link after divide
oh ok..
\[\frac{ x^2+7x+12 }{ x^2-9 }\div \frac{ x+4 }{ x-4 }\]\[=\frac{ (x+3)(x+4) }{ x^2-3^2 }\div \frac{ x+4 }{ x-4 }\]
that doesnt match any of my answers though
\[=\frac{ (x+3)(x+4) }{ (x-3)(x+3) }\div \frac{ x+4 }{ x-4 }\]
\[=\frac{ (x+3)(x-4) }{ (x-3)(x+3) }\times \frac{ x-4 }{ x+4 }\]
to divide by a fraction invert and multiply x^2 - 9 can be factored as the difference of 2 squares
simplify it
restrictions you do not want to have 0 in the denominator
always keep in mind that\[a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\]
x-4/x-3 but i dont know the resprictons
yup, what @triciaal said was correct.. restrictions means you do not want to have 0 in the denominator
i think the answer would be b then
for example\[\frac{ 1(numerator) }{ 0(denominator) }\]
would that be right or would it be a

@triciaal
\[=\frac{ (x+3)(x+4) }{ (x-3)(x-3) }\times \frac{ (x-4) }{ (x+4) }\]simplify it\[=\frac{ \cancel{(x+3)}\cancel{(x+4)} }{ (x-3)\cancel{(x+3)} }\times \frac{ (x-4) }{ \cancel{(x+4)} }\]
what is your question?
right i got the x-4/x-3 now i need to do the restrictions
do you understand what a restriction means? read above
restrictions means you do not want to have 0 in the denominator..for example\[\frac{ x+9 }{ x-10 },x \neq10\]
ok so it is just 3
you want to exclude x-values that will make the denominator zero you do not divide by 0
answer is a
correct! @18jonea
