reduce each rational to lowest terms?
please help
30)( 5a^2-45)/5a-15
=5(a^-9)/5(a-3)
=5{(a)^2-(3)^2}/5(a-3)
=5(a+3)(a-3)/5(a-3)
=a+3 [after eliminating 5(a-3)from both numerator and denominator]
32.y^2-2y)/(y^2-y-2)
=y(y-2)/(y-2)(y+1)
=y/(y+1)
34.(x^2+x-2)/(x^2+3x-4)
=(x+2)(x-1)/(x+4)(x-1)
=(x+2)/(x+4)
1.
(5a^2 - 45)/(5a - 15)
numerator = 5a^2 - 45
= 5(a^2 - 9)
=5(a + 3)(a -3) (since a^2 - b^2 = (a +b )a - b)
denominator = 5a - 15
=5(a - 3)
(5a^2 - 45)/(5a - 15) = 5(a + 3)(a - 3)/(5)(a - 3)
= (a + 3)
2.
(x^2 + x - 2)/(x^2 + 3x - 4)
numerator = x^2 + x - 2
=x^2 + 2x - x - 2
= x(x + 2) - 1(x + 2)
=(x - 1)(x + 2)
denominator = x^2 + 3x- 4
= x^2 + 4x - x - 4
=x(x + 4) - 1(x + 4)
=(x + 4) (x - 1)
(x^2 + x -2) /(x^2 + 3x - 4) = (x - 1)(x + 2)/(x + 4)(x - 1)
= (x + 2)/(x + 4)

(x^2 + x -2) /(x^2 + 3x - 4) = (x - 1)(x + 2)/(x + 4)(x - 1)
= (x + 2)/(x + 4)
