Q. Your answer should be a polynomial. (x2−7x+12)/(x−3)
Factorize the numerator: First, factorize the numerator x2−7x+12. x2−7x+12=(x−3)(x−4)
Observe the denominator: Next, observe the denominator x−3. Since the numerator has a factor of (x−3), we can cancel this term with the denominator. (x−3)(x−3)(x−4)=x−4
