Question

Simplify"
2x² + 16x + 14 / X² - 1​

Answer 1

Answer: 16x+3+x214​

Explanation:

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

4+16x+x214​−1

Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.

3+16x+x214​

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 3+16x times x2x2​.

x2(3+16x)x2​+x214​

Since x2(3+16x)x2​ and x214​ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

x2(3+16x)x2+14​

Do the multiplications in (3+16x)x2+14.
