First, we'll write the numerators and denominators as
distinct factors. For this reason, we'll determine the roots of the 2nd
numerator:
x^2 + 2x + 1 =
0
We'll recognize the perfect
square:
(x+1)^2 = 0
Now, we'll
determine the roots of the denominator of the 2nd
fraction:
x^2 + 3x + 2 =
0
We'll apply quadratic
formula:
x1 = [-3+sqrt(9 -
8)]/2
x1 = (-3+1)/2
x1 =
-1
x2 = (-3-1)/2
x2 =
-2
The equation will be written
as:
x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x + 1)(x +
2)
We'll re-write the factorised
expression:
[(x+2)^2*(x+1)/(x+1)^2]*[(x+1)^2/(x + 1)(x +
2)]
We'll cancel common
factors:
[(x+2)^2*(x+1)/(x+1)^2]*[(x+1)^2/(x + 1)(x + 2)] =
x + 2
The requested simplified result of the
given expression is: (x+2)
