Write the rational expression in lowest terms s2 n2n s Sel
Write the rational expression in lowest terms. s^2 - n^2/n - s Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer A. s^2 - n^2/n - s = B. The expression is already in lowest terms.
Solution
(s^2-n^2)/(n-s) = ((s+n)(s-n))/(n-s)
= - ((s+n)(n-s))/(n-s)
cancelling common factor (n-s)
= - (s+n)
