Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows two functions and under the heading "DIVIDE."
To divide these two functions, we perform the following operation:
Now, simplify the expression:
Since appears in both the numerator and the denominator, you can cancel it out, giving:
The restriction comes from the fact that when , making the expression undefined at that point.
