Reduce the rational expression to lowest terms. If it is already in lowest terms, enter the expression in the answer box. Also, specify any restrictions on the variable.

Question

25x^2−30x+8/25x^2−16

Answer 1

Before you reduce top and bottom you need to state your restriction on the denominator.
The denominator reads (5x+4)(5x-4) when factored. Set each to zero and solve for x then state the restrictions.
Once that is done, then factor the numerator and see if you can reduce with the denominator : )
