Question

How do you simplify `(g-9)/(g^2-81)`?

Answer 1

See the entire simplification process below:

Explanation:

First, factor the denominator:

`(g - 9)/((g - 9)(g + 9))`

Now, cancel the like terms in the numerator and denominator:

`color(red)(cancel(color(black)((g - 9))))/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)((g - 9))))(g + 9))`

`1/(g + 9)`
