simplify this: help!?
having trouble with this: can’t figure out the factors for these kind of expressions!

The 1st thing you do is to:
Simplify [(2x^2+x-1)/(4x^2-1)]
2nd:
Find the common factor [(2x-1)(x+1)/(2x-1)(2x-1)]
3rd:
Cancel (2x-1) on the top & on the bottom of your partial answer giving you this partial answer of [(x+1)/(2x-1)]
4th:
Simplify [(x-3)/(x^2-2x-3)]
5th:
Find the common factor[(x-3)/(x+1)(x-3)]
6th:
Cancel (x-3) on the top & on the bottom of your partial answer giving you this partial answer of [1/(x+1)]
7th:
Multiply both [(x+1)/(2x-1)] & [1/(x+1)]
8th:
Cancel both (x+1) to give you a final answer of:
[1/(2x-1)]
[(2x^2+x-1)/(4x^2-1)]*[(x-3)*(x^2-2x-3)]
Then the answer is (x-1)/(2x+1)(x-3)
Here are the factors:
[(2x-1)(x+1)/(2x-1)(2x+1)]*[(x-1)/(x-3)(x+1)]
= [( 2x+1)( x-1) / (2x+1)(2x-1)] * (x-3)/X^2
=[(x-1)/(2x-1) * (x-3)/(x^2)
= [(x-1)(x-3) / (x^2)(2x-1)
should first simplify da (2x^2 +x-1).
tn u know that, a^2 – b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
