I can not simplify it but
f(x) = -3(x^2+4x+4) -x-1
= -3 x^3 -12 x -12 - x - 1
= -3x^2 - 13 x -13 sure enough
f(x) = [(x-2)(x+1)] / [ (3x+1)(x+1) ]
= (x-2)/(3x+1) we win again
My work on simplifying this function: g(x)=(-3x^2-13x-13)
g(x)=-3x^2-13x-13 (13x-13=x)
g(x)=-3x^2-x
Can someone help with the simplifying the function if I have got it wrong and also can someone tell me of it's equivalent to this function:f(x)=-3(x+2)^2-(x+1)
Also I have another function that I have to simplify:g(x)=(x-2)/(3x+1)
My work:
As far as I'm aware there is no way to simplify the above stated function but if someone could help me with it, your help would greatly appreciated and also if it's equivalent to this function:f(x)=(x^2-x-2)/(3x^2-+4x+1)

Damon so are the simplified versions of the functions equivalent to their respective functions?
