Question

What is the product of `(x^2-1)/(x+1)` and `(x+3)/(3x-3)` expressed in simplest form?

Answer 1

Product of `(x^2-1)/(x+1)` and `(x+3)/(3x-3)` is `(x+3)/3`

Explanation:

`(x^2-1)/(x+1)xx(x+3)/(3x-3)`

= `((x+1)(x-1))/(x+1)xx(x+3)/(3(x-1))`

= `(cancel((x+1))cancel((x-1)))/cancel((x+1))xx(x+3)/(3(cancel(x-1)))`

= `(x+3)/3`
