Explanation:

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Answer: First Option

`(x(x-4)(x-1))/(2(x+4))`

Explanation:

We have the following expression

`(x^2-16)/(2x+8)*(x^3-2x^2+x)/(x^2+3x-4)`

First factorize the denominators:

`(x^2-16)/(2(x+4))*(x^3-2x^2+x)/((x+4)(x-1))`

Now we factor the numerators

`((x-4)(x+4))/(2(x+4))*(x(x^2-2x+1))/((x+4)(x-1))`

`((x-4)(x+4))/(2(x+4))*(x(x-1)^2)/((x+4)(x-1))`

now we simplify the expression

`((x-4))/(2)*(x(x-1))/((x+4))`

`(x(x-4)(x-1))/(2(x+4))`

The answer is the first option
