Perform the indicated operation of multiplication or divisio
Perform the indicated operation of multiplication or division on the rational expressions and simplify. y + 8/y^2 + 2y - 35 y^2 - 7y + 10/y + 8
Solution
(y+8)/(y^2 + 2y - 35)* (y^2 -7y +10)/(y +8)
(y+8) gets cancelled in num and den.
(y^2 -7y +10)/(y^2 + 2y - 35)
(y^2 -5y -2y +10)/(y^2 +7y -5y -35)
y(y-5) -2(y -5)/[y(y+7)-5(y+7)]
(y-2)(y-5)/(y-5)(y+7)
(y-2)/(y+7)
