| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{n^2+6n+5}{n+1} $ to $ n+5$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{n+1}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{n^2+6n+5}{n+1} & =\frac{ \left( n+5 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( n+1 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( n+1 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{n+5}{1} =n+5 \end{aligned} $$ |
