Question

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable.

(n^4-11n^2+30)/(n ^4 -7n^2+10)

My answer is

n^2-6/n^2-2 except +-sqrt5 and +-sqrt2

Answer 1

(n^4-11n^2+30)/(n ^4 -7n^2+10)
numberator roots:
n^2=11+-sqrt(121-120) /2
=11+-1 /2= 6,5
(n^2-6)(n^2-5)
roots of denominator (by insptection,5,2
(n^2-5)(N^2-2)

so you are left with (n^2-6)/(n^2-2)

you are correct

Answer 2

Thank you very much
