To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following expression given in the problem above:


( (x^(2)-x-6)/(4x^(3))) ((x^(2)+2x)/(x^(2)+5x+6) )

2. First, you must factor the polynomials in the numerator and in the denominator and then simplify the expression:


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

The answer is:
((x-3)(x+1))/(2x^(2)(x+3)(x+2))
