To be multiplying these two fractions together.
00:05
And so we know that when we want to multiply fractions, we are going to multiply straight across the top and straight across the bottom.
00:13
So we can go ahead and do that, but not actually multiply any of our terms together.
00:19
So our numerator is going to be x squared minus x minus 6 times x cubed plus x squared, and again, that's just going straight across our numerator, and the denominator in the same way will be x squared plus 2x times x squared minus 2x minus 3.
00:43
So our next step in simplifying this fraction is going to be factoring out each of these terms.
00:53
So i'll go ahead and start with our numerator.
00:56
And you can do this on your own, but x squared minus x, minus 6, we'll factor into x minus 3 times x plus 2.
01:08
And then our second term are x cubed plus x squared.
01:12
We can take out an x squared and be left with x plus 1.
01:19
And finally, we can do the same thing for our denominator.
01:23
This first x squared plus 2x, we can pull out an x and be left with x plus 2 .2...
