Factor and cancel out in order to simplify.

• 1/(n-7)

• n-7

• (n-6)/(n-7)

• n-6

Simplify the rational function

• 1/(x + 5)

• 1/(x - 5)

• (x - 5)(x + 5)

• (x - 5)/[(x - 5)(x + 5)]

Simplify (look for common factors that you can factor out and cancel out)

• A.4x³/(x+2)

• B.4x³/(x+10)

• C.2x³/(5x+1)

• D. 2x³/(x+5)
