factor the terms of each fraction and simplify before you multiply
cross out each common factor that exists in a numerator and in a denominator
1) (x)(x-6) (x-8)(x+2) (x)(x+2)
__________ . __________ = _________
(x+10)(x-8) (x-6)(x-2) (x+10)(x-2)
2) I am assuming a typo in #2
(x+10)(x+2) (x-8)(x+7) (x+2)(x+7)
___________ . __________ = __________
(x-8)(x-5) (x+8)(x+10) (x-5)(x+8)
3) (x+11)(x-5) (x+6)(x^2-6x+36) (x+11)(x^2-6x+36)
__________ . ________________ = ________________
(x)(x+6) (x-5)(x-4) (x)(x-4)
4) (2)(x+11)(x+1) (x+5)(x-2) (x+11)(x-2)
______________ . __________ = ___________
(8)(x+8)(x+5) (x+1)(x+6) (4)(x+8)(x+6)
I assume you mean f(x)*g(x)
(x-5)(x-4) (x+8)(x-2) (x-4)(x+8)(x-2)
_________ . _________ = _____________
(x+2)(x-1) (x-5)(x+5) (x+2)(x-1)(x+5)
(x+7)(x-4)
(x+7) . __________ = (x-4)
(x+7)(x+7)
