| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{x^2-4}{x-2} $ to $ x+2$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{x-2}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{x^2-4}{x-2} & =\frac{ \left( x+2 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x-2 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x-2 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{x+2}{1} =x+2 \end{aligned} $$ |
