Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.p+3p2+3p
Identify Expression: Identify the expression to simplify.We have the expression (p2+3p)/(p+3). We need to determine if the numerator can be factored to simplify the expression.
Factor Numerator: Factor the numerator if possible.The numerator is p2+3p, which can be factored as p(p+3) because p is a common factor of both terms.p2+3p=p(p+3)
Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression with the factored numerator.Now we have the expression (p(p+3))/(p+3).
Simplify by Canceling: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common factor.Since (p+3) is in both the numerator and the denominator, we can cancel it out, leaving us with just p.p+3p(p+3)=p
