Question

Simplify x^2+5x+4/x+4
•x-1
•x+1
•x^2+1
•x^2-1

Answer 1

To simplify the expression (x^2 + 5x + 4)/(x + 4), we can first factor the numerator:

x^2 + 5x + 4 = (x + 1)(x + 4)

Now we can rewrite the original expression as:

(x + 1)(x + 4)/(x + 4)

We can then simplify the expression by canceling out the common factor of (x + 4) in the numerator and denominator, which gives:

x + 1

Therefore, the simplified expression is (x + 1). So the correct option is x+1.
