| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{2x^3+13x^2+15x}{x^2+5x} $ to $ 2x+3$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{x^2+5x}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{2x^3+13x^2+15x}{x^2+5x} & =\frac{ \left( 2x+3 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x^2+5x \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x^2+5x \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{2x+3}{1} =2x+3 \end{aligned} $$ |
