Given the numerical statement:
(x^2 - 4) divided by ( x - 1)
Solution:
The given numerical statement can be written as,
(x^2 - 4) / (x -1)
To solve for the equation, if we can really divide it, we must factor the numerator, since is the result of the sum and difference of two squares.
=(x^2 - 4) / (x -1)
= (( x + 2) ( x - 2))/(x - 1)
The equation cannot be divided or canceled out since we have no values that are divisible.
Final answer:
= (( x + 2) ( x - 2))/(x - 1)
