Identify Common Factors: Identify if the numerator and denominator have any common factors that can be factored out.The numerator is 32x4−50, which can be factored as 2(16x4−25).The denominator is 4x3−12x2−5x+15, which does not have an obvious common factor.
Factorize Numerator: Check if the numerator can be factored further.The expression 16x4−25 is a difference of squares and can be factored as (4x2+5)(4x2−5).
Factorize Denominator: Check if the denominator can be factored by grouping. Group the terms as (4x3−12x2)+(−5x+15) and factor out the common factors. This gives us 4x2(x−3)−5(x−3). Now we can factor out (x−3) to get (x−3)(4x2−5).
Simplify Expression: Now that we have factored both the numerator and the denominator, we can simplify the expression. The simplified form is (2(4x2+5)(4x2−5))/((x−3)(4x2−5)). We can cancel out the common factor of (4x2−5).
Final Simplified Form: After canceling the common factor, we are left with the simplified expression.The final simplified form is x−32(4x2+5).
