Simplify \( \Large \frac{ \left(x^{2}-4\right) \left(x^{3}-8\right) }{ \left(x-2\right)^{2} \left(x^{2}+2x+4\right) }=? \)
Correct Answer: |
|
C) \( \Large \left(x+2\right) \) |
|
Description for Correct answer:
The factors of \( \Large x^{2}-4 = \left(x+2\right) \left(x-2\right) \)
The factors of \( \Large x^{3}-8 = \left(x-2\right) \left(x^{2}+2x+4\right) \)
\( \Large \frac{ \left(x^{2}-4\right) \left(x^{3}-8\right) }{ \left(x-2\right)^{2} \left(x^{2}+2x+4\right) } = \frac{ \left(x+2\right) \left(x-2\right) \left(x-2\right) \left(x^{2}+2x+4\right) }{ \left(x-2\right)^{2} \left(x^{2}+2x+4\right) } \)
= \( \Large \left(x+2\right) \)
