Question

Will someone help me divide this rational expression???
y^2-2y-15/4*8/y+3

Answer 1

Could you possibly draw this problem so that your drawing most closely resembles the original? Please note that there is ambiguity due to lack of parentheses in your typewritten expression. for example, you might mean (y^2-2y-15)/4 or (-2y-15)/4 or something else.
Are y ou dividing by y or by y+3? Use parentheses so that there is no doubt regarding your meaning.
