AND
In the denominator we factored a GCF and a difference of squares.
AND
*Multiply the den. out
*Excluded values of the original den.
AND
Step 2: Multiply
the rational expressions as shown above.
*Rewrite as mult. of reciprocal
*Factor the num. and den.
*Simplify by div. out the common factors of
3, (y^2 + 4),
(y - 5), and (y + 2)
*Multiply the den. out
*Excluded values of the original den. of product
In the denominator we factored a GCF
and a difference of squares.
Note that the values that would be excluded from the domain are 0,
5, -2, and 2. Those are the values that makes the original
denominator of the product equal to 0.
