What is the simplified form of the quantity 4 x squared minus 25 over the quantity 2x minus 5 ?

Question

Select one:

a. 2x − 5, with the restriction x ≠−

b. 2x + 5, with the restriction x ≠

c. 2x − 5, with the restriction x ≠

d. 2x + 5, with the restriction x ≠−

Answer 1

Factor the numerator and divide by (2x-5) with the assumption that 2x - 5 ≠ 0.

That should give you the answer!
