Factor Numerator and Denominator: Factor the numerator and denominator of the first fraction.(x3−27) can be factored as (x−3)(x2+3x+9).(3x2−24x+45) can be factored as 3(x2−8x+15), which further factors into 3(x−3)(x−5).
Factor Second Fraction: Factor the numerator and denominator of the second fraction.(x2+3x+9) is already in its simplest form and cannot be factored further.(x2−25) can be factored as (x−5)(x+5).
Rewrite as Multiplication: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction.The expression becomes 3(x−3)(x−5)(x−3)(x2+3x+9)×x2+3x+9(x−5)(x+5).
Cancel Common Factors: Cancel out common factors from the numerator and denominator.The (x−3) terms cancel, and one (x−5) term cancels.The expression simplifies to 3(x+5)x2+3x+9.
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.The final simplified form is (x2+3x+9)/(3x+15).
