Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.s+4s2+4s
Identify expression: Identify the expression to simplify.We have the expression (s2+4s)/(s+4).
Factor numerator: Factor the numerator if possible.The numerator s2+4s can be factored by taking out the common factor s.s2+4s=s(s+4)
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors.We have s(s+4)/(s+4). The (s+4) terms can be canceled out because they are common to the numerator and the denominator.s(s+4)/(s+4)=s
