Answer:

The correct answer is (a + 3)³/5

Explanation:

Points to remember:

1). (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

2). If we want to divide two fractions, we need to multiply the reciprocal of divisor with dividend.

It is given that,

(a + 3)²/a-3 ÷ 5/(a²-9),

To find the division result

(a + 3)²/a-3 ÷ 5/(a² - 9)

Reciprocal of 5/(a² - 9) = (a² - 9)/5

(a + 3)²/a-3 ÷ 5/(a² - 9) = (a + 3)²/(a -3) * (a² - 9)/5

(a² - 9) = (a + 3)(a - 3) [ using identity]

(a + 3)²/(a -3) * (a² - 9)/5 = (a + 3)²/(a -3) * (a + 3)(a - 3) /5

= (a + 3)²(a + 3)(a - 3)/(a -3)5

= (a + 3)²(a + 3)/5 = (a + 3)³/5

Therefore the correct answer is (a + 3)³/5
