Question

What does `(x^2+4x+4) / (x+2)` equal?

Answer 1

(x+2)

Explanation:

Here,

`x^2` + 4x +4
= `(x)^2` + 22x +`(2)^2`
= `(x+2)^2`
=(x+2)(x+2)

We replace this value in the question.
So
`{(x+2)(x+2)}/((x+2)`
We cancel one (x+2) in the numerator with the one in the denominator.

SO we have (x+2)
