Work Step by Step
Simplifying Rational Expressions
1. Factor the numerator and the denominator completely.
2. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by any common factors.
---
Numerator: recognize a square of a binomial
$(x+6)^{2}$
Denominator: recognize a difference of squares
$(x+6)(x-6)$
Expression = $\displaystyle \frac{(x+6)^{2}}{(x+6)(x-6)}$
... divide both with the common factor: $(x+6)$
Expression = $\displaystyle \frac{x+6}{x-6}$
