Simplify the following expression completely.
(X^2 + 11x + 10)/(x^2 - x - 2)
Answer must be in binomial factor.
First, factor the numerator and denominator:
(X^2 + 11x + 10) = (X + 1)(X + 10)
(x^2 - x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + 1)
Now, cancel out the common factor of (x + 1) in the numerator and denominator:
(X + 1)(X + 10)/(x - 2)
Therefore, the simplified expression is (X + 10)/(x - 2).
