Simplify the expressions in each pair. (2 marks each) (Show your work)
i)f(x)=(x^2)-(x)-2/(x+1),g(x)=(x-2)
ii) f(x)=(x^2)-(x)-12/(x+3), g(x)=(x^2)-(6x)+8/(x-2)
What, still no work of your own to start with? Try factoring the quadratics, and see which factors cancel.
And lose all those stupid parentheses around each term. Use one set of parens around the whole numerator or denominator.
