Answer

11(t+7)9(t+13)\frac{11(t+7)}{9(t+13)}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Factor the quadratic expression in the numerator of the first fraction.

    We need to find two numbers that multiply to −21-21 and add to 4. These numbers are 7 and −3-3.
    So, t2+4t−21=(t+7)(t−3)t^2+4t-21 = (t+7)(t-3).

  2. Substitute the factored expression back into the original problem.

    (t+7)(t−3)9×11(t−3)(t+13)\frac{(t+7)(t-3)}{9} \times \frac{11}{(t-3)(t+13)}
  3. Cancel out the common term (t−3)(t-3) from the numerator and the denominator.

    (t+7)(t−3)9×11(t−3)(t+13)\frac{(t+7)\cancel{(t-3)}}{9} \times \frac{11}{\cancel{(t-3)}(t+13)}
  4. Multiply the remaining terms in the numerator and the denominator.

    11(t+7)9(t+13)\frac{11(t+7)}{9(t+13)}
