How do you simplify #(9x+2)/(x^2 + 11x + 30 )#?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

It does not simply further.

You can factorise to see if there are any common factor.

#(9x+2)/(x^2+11x+30)#

#=(9x+2)/((x+6)(x+5))#

But this does not make any difference.

To simplify the expression (9x+2)/(x^2 + 11x + 30), you can factor the denominator and then cancel out any common factors between the numerator and denominator. The denominator can be factored as (x+5)(x+6). Therefore, the simplified expression is (9x+2)/(x+5)(x+6).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
